I've been busy...

I have taken quite a breather since the last post. I don't really even have an excuse...except for the cutest.baby.ever (as pictured above). I skipped the whole posting while pregnant deal, but if you miss that kind of thing it would have gone something like this...fat, fat, fat, hungry, ugh, fat, eat, eat, eat and then birth. There are we caught up? Good.

The sewing circle will be a little less of an actual sewing circle for the time being. Reason being, I cannot wield a needle and a baby at the same time. I am not that good yet and gimme a break, I just want to stare at this baby. She rules.

Oh Hello!

Hi,

I am here again. Here I am. Right here. In your face, on your screen.

This has been a long break, for real. I think I forgot about the circle and the ladies, sorry.

Here are a few things that I have been working on.

FIrst -

THE OC SCHOOL OF DOMESTIC ARTS!!!!

www.ocschoolofdomesticarts.com

Check it out. I am your long lost Home Ec. teacher. Let bake a ham. I am not a one woman operation however, Heather makes cheese and does too many things to list. You might love us. I think you will.

Second -

Archie ate something weird (Thai food, I know) and broke out in the most disgusting awful hives. He looked like a monster. His already fleshy face swelled up to astronomical proportions. But he never acted sick or in pain, in fact he was biting me continuously until he passed out from the Benadryll. He is fine now and no more Thai Food, I promise.

Third -

I made an ET costume and forgot to take a picture. Sheesh.

Fourth -

Tomorrow is halloween and I need a fake beard.


Be back soon,

Carole

Have a relaxing weekend

Take a lesson from Archie and rest all of your face folds on the cool kitchen tile for maximum relaxation. And while you're down their... why not lick the grout clean? Or not.

This gal...

Who gets bit directly on the calf by a dog who just cannot wait his turn with the garden hose?

this gal.

Who makes pita bread with no pockets? Hot pants pitas?

this gal.

Who goes to Target to get a baby shower gift and ends up lying on the floor in order to read the skew number on a 3 pack of onesies that turns out to be the wrong ones(onesies) ha?

this gal.

Who smiled at a baby today and got snubbed?

this gal.

Not complaining, just saying.

Zuul and Archie

I thought we bought a puppy and named him Archie.

Turns out we also bought a mythical beast named Zuul.

Where Archie is a sweet playful bulldog.
Zuul is a snarling foot-chomping hell hound that takes all action as a threat, especially the offer of a treat.

There is no warning as the when Archie will take a back seat to Zuul and Zuul stays as long as Zuul wants.

Archie is currently snoring away on the bathroom floor. He loves the cool tile and shoves the bathroom rug to the side to get maximum body to tile ratio. Sometimes he helps out by polishing the tile with his tongue and gnawing a little at the grout but mostly he just snores. I have to be careful not to disturb his slumber because it is usually Zuul that I am waking up.

Wait...Uh oh.

Hiding...

There is something amazing at the bottom of this clay pot. It used to hold a little daisy plant until Archie knocked it off the plant stand and emptied the contents all over the back porch. Archie hates daisies. Ever since he's emptied it, he's been concentrating deeply on whatever is at the bottom, which from what I can see is just a hole.

Cone of Silence

Archie loves his pool. Even when he is wearing his cone which doesn't exactly make him silent, in fact, it amplifies his barking like a megaphone. Yipee.
