Those Nothings Are Everything

Tonight, we strategically placed the fans around our bed.



We watched the Oprah finale yesterday. It was the first episode I've ever seen.



Going East, Yuula likes compressed air. She prefers fresh air going West.



We just lost power.



What does it say about us if we don't enjoy the good dancers on this show as much as we enjoy the trainwrecks?



Lights will guide you home.



Yuula will kiss us and say yum, but not when we ask her to. She also took 2 steps, but only once.



Is Dubai safe?



How do you convert square feet into cubic yards? We are not equipped for this.



We gotta stop eating so many strawberries.

We Live For Stories In Still Visual

We live for the days in between. We live for the drying sun. We live for the feeble attempts at landscaping. Some day-stories are best told in still visual.

The Soothing Sounds Of Suction

I know it seems like I'm really holding onto this Christmas stuff. I can't help it. It's my favorite time of the year and I have trouble letting it go. But it's let go. The well packed totes are stored 10 miles away, the tree is back in the outdoors and there's not a twinkle to be found.



We always think we won't make a mess dragging the tree out but it just seems like those pine needles are jumping from a sinking ship. Our carpet was green temporarily yesterday. Gives us good reason to get between the cracks. There are lots of cracks.



I guess winter cleaning doesn't excite Yuula.

Indoor picnic.

Killin' The Vibe

Gonna be conceited today



I am on autopilot this morning. It's really quite quite impressive. It's something to behold as far as some things to behold at 5am go.



The only thing out of the norm was a large bowl of assorted beans soaking on the kitchen counter. I didn't do that. Must've been Laura. I think she's gonna make some soup today. With ham. Schools are closed. Should give her plenty of time.



Laura bought me a tuna can drainer. I'd like to think that 10 or so years ago I wouldn't have been as excited as I was about it last night. My life has reached that point and it's about time.



Is it Christmastime again already?
