A n t i c i p a t i o n




I am trying to enjoy the anticipation of sleeping in a new bed tonight. We freshened up the room with paint and cleaning supplies (it's been a long time, dustbunny). The matress is one of those memory foam types. We tried the pillow top and it got worn out in about 10 years. "They" say you should sleep on a good bed...

I love Michael Phelps. He's just phenomenal. Where is his dad? I love Shawn Johnson. She's an Iowa girl and that's close to my heart. I spent my college years in Des Moines. Love that small city. When did trampoline become an Olympic event? Do the women beach volleyballers in the white tighties get Depo shots or what??

Helen stopped by with her adorable kids today. Hence, I broke out the camera I'd nearly forgotten about. Helen and I were discussing my highlights and lowlights and Madyson asked, "Is your hair pink?" Well, yeah, pink or maroon depending on the lighting.

Looking forward to scrapbooking Friday night (I have lots of packets made up to crop into something) and the first of the weddings next week. Tomorrow I am going to start a broomstick afghan (a client is going to show me how) with off white wool that my grandmother had before she died around 1969. It's in remarkably good shape, my mother takes great care with such things. Finally, class starts next Monday (I seriously didn't think it was that soon) so the blogging may hit the skids again.

Note to Betsy: I think I've found the key to a good picture. Have it taken from ABOVE.

It also helps to get a good picture when you are thin! But I do really like the picture with Madyson--your eyes look beautiful. Will the miss the blog again. Highlight of my days at work. :-)

Oh, we have the pillow top version now, I am jealous that you are getting the full bed version!

I love Michael Phelps and Shawn Johnson, too. I was wondering about his dad, apparently not in the picture for sure.

That is a great photo. A while back, Oprah had something about shooting from above is the most flattering. But yes, you're already thin so you have that advantage!

Have fun at your crop! Please share your results. Wish I could join you. We could meet in Des Moines, lol.
