Randoms

The girls are nagging me for not blogging so here are some random observations:

1.  FINALLY!  Trader Joe's opens today!  Three Buck Chuck!  Lime-Chili Cashews!  90  Second Brown Rice That Doesn't Cost $3.00 A Bag!  And so much more.  Can you tell we are super-stoked to have our own TJ's?  Katie wanted to be there at 8:00 am for the Grand Opening.  It's 8:08 and she just got up, so I think that plan died a timely death.

2.  Cara, you can skip this one...Project Runway pulled another cray-cray result and Anya is this season's winner.  I love her and I can see where the judges were coming from in making her the winner, but still...it's a surprise.  I mean, the lady CAN'T SEW.  She's about at my skill level, and that is not a compliment.  But she doesn't have to sew now that she's the winner right? 

3.  Speaking of Cara, she is now less one gall bladder and a large gall stone.  I THINK she's going home from the hospital today.  Virginia hospitals evidently differ a bit from those in Spokane.  When Katie had her GB surgery, they spit her out the door as soon as she woke up in Recovery.  No namby-pamby nursing care in the hospital here!  You're awake, you're breathing (more or less),  you're out.  Get well quick, Carrie!

4.  We have a FANTASTIC costume to make for Lucy this weekend.  I won't spoil the surprise, but will just say it was my brills idea, which Katie refined to create the perfect get-up for our Miss Lucy Lou.  Since Katie spent about $40.00 on the materials to make said costume, we now HAVE to actually make it.  It's going to be awesome!

5. And here's a picture Pia took of Mikey and me at the XC meet.  I love this kid's perfectly round head so much:

Also loved his ghetto outfit of high water brown Sears Tuffskin jeans and some random fugly shirt.  You'd think I was still dressing him every day :-)  Actually, he always looked very spiffy when I handled the wardrobe.  The twins were known for their snappy  outfits (thanks to Cara and Katie mostly) and he got their hand me downs x 2.
