It's On!

Our Trip to England, that is!  I booked my ticket today!  I didn't get quite as many days as we had hoped (evidently us freebie riders don't have quite as many options on dates as the paying customers), but we'll still have a good 10 days touring England.  With good planning, we should be able to see plenty of sites.

And with luck, I will once again find myself shoulder to shoulder outside Buckingham palace with my girl:

And THIS time, I won't freeze, but will tell Dame Helen how much I love her and invite her over to the nearest pub.

Because I don't bake.  But I'm sure I'd eat one of these adorable Cinco de Mayo Pinata Cookies!

Belinda!

Hadley (age 5) can finally scrape enough hair together to create a ponytail.  It's kind of a scrapnoodle pony, but considering this child's hair history, it's a triumph.

Which led me to this post from 2009.  I am crying right now.  And I don't think Megan has ever quite forgiven her poor mother for this.

Oh Lord, I Need This

If you've ever had the pleasure of eating a meal with me, you know I am incapable of finishing said meal without spilling something on myself.  I don't know why I never learned to eat neatly, but evidently that etiquette lesson passed me by.

Well, I found an answer that is a bit more knitterly than my usual "tuck a dishtowel into my collar":  Your Grandmother's Bib.  I'm sure these are all the rage at the old folk's home.  And perhaps one should be part of my mealtime wardrobe...

Could This Be The Worst Painting Ever?

Yes.  It could very well be the worst painting ever.  This guy seems poised to take over from "The Painter of Light"...
