I got nothin'. Those pansies I planted are looking good. Like this now (well, today they look slightly less beaten down by rain):


And those ranunculus bulbs I planted? The ones that are supposed to cheerily bloom in the spring? Look like this:



Shame on them. You know, unless they bloom. Doesn't really matter what season to me.

I made cinnamon rolls yesterday. And altered a dress. And we're going to see A Christmas Carol at the theatre (live, not the Jim Carrey movie).

Yep, that's all. I'm super unmotivated.

they look fine, don't worry. you have tons of plans and those racoons need to be shot. I have a little plant that I am working with. I have a 4 little sprouts that came out. I need to take a picture of it so you can look at it. I am so proud of my hard work, I make sure I pour 3 tbsp of water every day.

Hmm, I tried planting ranunculus (sp?) too, and they came up alright, and then died. I was pumped because that's what I carried in my wedding bouquet and I had these visions of having ranunculus bloom every season. Pffft.

hey, would you like to see the nursery?

After a very productive week/weekend, the nursery is just about done. I think the only thing I want to do is whip up a simple padded headboard and Hubby needs to trim down the legs on a little footstool. That's it! Finally! So without further ado... This is what you see when you walk in the door. Too bad the baby won't be able to appreciate it right away. (And I'll apologize right off the bat for having some wonky-colored photographs in this post. I just don't have the energy to fix things. At least on my monitor, the above pic is roughly true-to-life.) Would you like to see that awesome rug a little better? Man, I love it. It was the one splurge for the room but it has such great colors, fun animals and designs, and is round. All my criteria were met. Love. Here's the corner with the crib. I wanted a clean, simple, modern, white crib. I hate to admit it but we ordered it from Wal-Mart. Hey, at least we didn't have to enter an actual store to get it. It was ine
