Nothing Coherent Today!

I have some sort of nasty GI bug … food poisoning, methinks and I'm none too sharp at the moment. So you get the stuff that's rattling around in my brain.

I went crazy yesterday and bought Tabby this absolutely darling luggage. Cuz that's what every 5 month old needs, don'tcha know. I won't tell you how much it was, exactly, but I will tell you it was under $100 and on sale. Now I feel a bit better. It will not get here in time for the trip we're leaving on tomorrow.

Matt bought me a new laptop for my b'day which is arriving today. Hooray for that. I have found that I cannot use my stationary computer with any sort of success since Tabby was born. So now I will have a laptop that will go all over the house to wherever she needs to be. Anyhoo, since it shipped on Mon, I've been stalking it via FedEx's website. It started out in Shanghai, China (yet I still have to pay tax on it!!), then went to Anchorage, Alaska, then to Indianapolis, IN and now it's finally in Denver. It's a little sad that my consumer goods are more well traveled than I am.

Speaking of computer productivity, I actually managed to get Tabby's scrapbook started. This hurculean feat was possible only because I have decided to do this scrapbook digitally. I've always liked this idea, but have sometimes found it hard to get the pages printed as I would like them. But I googled “digital scrapbook printing” or something like that the other day and found Picaboo. Which is exactly that – a digital scrapbook service. They have laods of templates, etc. that you can use to make your own scrapbooks or you can do them up in Photoshop and import them as full pages for maxiumum control freak. I've already gotten a couple of pages done … and I didn't have to take out all of that scrapbooking stuff and make a big ol' mess. Holly-friend is having a henna party on the 24th. I need to figure out something to bring. What I really want to bring are henna cookies … some sort of sugar cookie with Indianish spices and henna-styled frosting decorations. But I have to find/adapt a recipe with little luck so far. Plus, this project is probably way too ambitious.

Speaking of complicated. How about you make your own moleskin notebook?

We've been thinking loads about moving recently. We don't really want to, but eventually, it will be a must. Our house is lovely and wonderful and we just love living there, but we are running out of space and there is no back yard. In fantasy world, there's nothing I'd like to do more than buy land and build our own, but hello … $$$$. Anyhoo, a girl can dream can't she? and now I can do it on FloorPlanner from wherever I am.

I think that's it for now. I wanna go crawl back into bed. Blah.
