Three Thoughts Thursday--This Hiatus Brought To You By A Flippin' Migraine

not so serious

That's right. I've got a migraine. Hopefully the cafe au lait Ted made me, in combo w/ some pain killers, will chase it away. I think it's due to some intense studying I've been doing for a work-related exam I'm taking on Friday. If anyone has any wisdom to impart on Base Pay Structures, please send 'em my way.

So instead of sharing my deep thoughts, I am participating in Tracey's Thursday Theme, which is HEAT, something a good portion of our country has been experiencing in waves lately. Things have cooled down in our neck of the woods the past couple of days, but Sunday was a scorcher. I thought it would be a good idea to cool Cadence off with some water play. Unfortunately, I was too lazy to run out to actually buy a bonafide kiddie pool.

our version of the kiddie pool

Luckily, we had just the right sized storage container that could do the job. It was perfect for Cadence and some of her rubber friends.

Cadence liked her "swimming pool" just fine.

splash!

There was lots of splashing going on, fer sure.

getting pruny

She liked it so much, in fact, that she got quite pruny.

Go see how other folks are dealling w/ the heat on Tracey's Picture This.

All Together, Now...

Sing

If you feel like singing a song
And you want other people to sing along

Sing
Just sing what you feel
Don’t let anyone say it’s wrong

Smile

When there’s a light (what light)
There’s a light (one light)

Smile
There’s a light (white light)
Inside of you


(What Light by Wilco from their new album, Sky Blue Sky)

Cadence's 15 Minutes of Webfame

if only it looked that good EVERY day...

I suppose it's silly pointing out the fact that a photo of Cadence is on another website, considering I've been plastering such photos all over this one since before she was even born.

But still. Humor a proud, silly mama, will ya? You see, Cadence and her playroom were featured as a Flickr Find on Apartment Therapy: The Nursery. Thanks, Alex!

When Sarah Cooks...

This is what my kitchen looked like Saturday afternoon. I was cooking unsupervised, and this is what happens when Sarah cooks.

Tell me the truth...

new color

Does this gray make me look blue?

new color

Be honest now.

Yeah. We went for gray. It looks blue. Honestly, though, I'm a blue kind of girl so I love it. Ted's grudgingly accepting it, I think.
