Sunny Side Up

So far my 24th year has had its ups and downs, but mostly ups. Not a month since that nasty cold departed, it came back again--boo. But this time I recognized it and was better prepared. Last week in its early stage I took a day off work to rest, and I think it made a big difference! I've never been great at taking care of myself and knowing my health, as they say, but this time I get an A+.

N and I spent another weekend with Paddington while Naomi was with family. Pretty low key--hanging around, nursing my cold, watching movies (finally saw The Hurt Locker--so good! go watch it!) and enjoying lovely Queen Anne. On Saturday morning we walked to Top Pot for doughnuts. I know Naomi thinks we're doing her a favor, but I really like hanging out on QA...I can see us living there with our own pup someday. :) Perhaps this one?

This is my dream puppy...Nathan has found him.

This week is off to a good start. Are you enjoying your extra hour of sunshine? :) I am! And we've been getting a lot of it lately (except today, spring rains). Yesterday was warm and breezy, and the rest of the day followed suit. I made a trip to the craft store for a couple items and came home with a couple more. I found alphabet stamps for $1.50! I think it's a worthy buck-fifty investment. :)

(we sell these for $18 at PS.....shhh!)

My niece got her braces off this week, so I put together a little congratulatory confectionery package to send her. Lucky girl, Yum! When I got home I opened up the windows and spent the day drawing, something I am trying to get back into the habit of doing. I am participating in a mail art exchange with friends from PS, which has me really excited. I will share some of it--the first batch went out today, so I'll wait to post until Thursday, just in case someone sneaks a peek here! ;) In the meantime, here's what I got from Becky! She rocks.

One last little note....I have finally selected and ordered my new camera! I can't wait to get it, hopefully by the weekend. Get ready for more pictures!
That's it for now...more to post later!
