Thanks and some randomness

I awakened to something very cute this morning. Thank you, Ozimum, for this beautiful scrap page to honor PIPA's first birthday. I just love it. I am going to have to learn something about that digital scrapping in my spare time. I've got to find that that spare time first ;0) I appreciate you sharing your talents with my PIPA in mind!


Before the horrid weather conditions, this beautifully wrapped gift arrived. That card is so adorable and absolutely perfect.


Inside was a wonderful gift from Kavanna's mama. PIPA has her very own on-the-go sleep sheep. He plays soothing sounds to lull one to sleep. I have to admit that I've tried it out and I quite love it. Jake, on the other hand, has some jealousy issues about the sheep being strapped to the headboard ;0) I am just quite sure that PIPA will drop off into peaceful slumber each night for at least 8 hours. (Let me enjoy the last days of my delusions.)

Also in the package was this outfit. I love thinking about my girl wearing this cuteness because it means it will be WARM then. (I am really over winter). As Kavanna's mama put it: 'Every girl needs a fabulous French frock.' I'm sure PIPA will love hers as she flounces about :0) Such thoughtful generosity. Thank you!



Those fabulous things have brightened these last few days of battling road conditions. I am searching desperately for the reason again of why I live here. Yes, it is pretty to see. However, that prettiness stops dead in its tracks when you have to get somewhere. Yesterday my commute was 1hr and 40 minutes. Usually the drive takes me 12-15 minutes. It has been one very, very long week. Everything social was cancelled (for good reason). I'm not sure when that shower will happen now. As for me, I'm just as happy to lock the office doors at the end of the day and pass around a bottle of champagne as we celebrate there. I'm not picky. Then again, the image of me in the office with a champagne bottle could cause some nasty rumors!

Gotta fly (or crawl depending on the roads).
