one last random before the new year
I'm pretty happy to see it go, 2006 -
and I'll be toasting 2007 with my new friend Mr. Shingleback.

He's lovely and bubbly.

Here are my feet, drinking with my other new friend Dan, who, now that I think on it, is also lovely - and relatively, um, bubbly. Drinking, drinking, drinking....

I'm thinking that this little girl's parents meant to name her Portia -
and I'm hoping her brother's name isn't Audi.
Look -

I wrapped K's gifts with scooter paper.
And just take a look at his horoscopes for December -


Aren't they a kick in the head?
Believe me, THEY ARE A KICK IN THE HEAD.
But it's all fine now because the Elephant Goddess Who Sits In Chairs was watching over us.

Wait.
Maybe that's a coffee table.
I can't tell.

Isn't this a lovely thing?
It is...

it is a lovely thing.

But the boat bathtub? Isn't that kinda like those racecar beds for kids? A boat bathtub? I dunno. I don't think I'm comfortable with faux conveyances in the bathroom. And filling a boat with water? Just confusing.
Shutting up now.
I also like the way it sounds when I say it.

Very soothing.
I crave those shoes.
I dig the boat bath. In the middle of the meadow. Under the cerulean sky. But not necessarily in the bathroom.
There's a girl at Primo's school whose name is Maighread. Very Irish, lalala, but NO ONE can pronounce it and I fear she will never get out of kindy having to write it.
If you even think of installing it, I'm coming to Tuvalu to talk you down.
2- I'm not against the boat tub, but I think it'd go mo' bettah in a themed bathroom. I know my kids would never have to be talked into acts of hygiene had we such a thing.
In fact! I know NOS would fill up the tub and run the shower and pretend he's been hit by a Pirate Ship.
3- Alas, I have known someone who named her son "Carrion" which, she vehemently alleged, is the male version of "Carrie."
