Very Specific Parking Requirements


Disturbing Doll

When I was a little girl, I played with Barbie dolls. When I became older, I understood how controversial they were for their impossibly skinny bodies, big boobs etc. etc.

Now little girls have the Hi Glamm doll to idolize. In addition to a super skinny waist and big boobs, girls will wish for legs that are about 10 feet long! Oh the crazy things that we buy.

And, on a side note, this is a remake of a doll put out by Hasbro in the 70's called Leggy dolls. Weird.

Elusive Sleep

Oh sleep, my dear friend
you used to come to easily and stay without hesitation
...and then I had a baby...
and now you dissapear so quickly, leaving me wide-eyed
and wishing for your return

Pumpkin Face

Now that Odessa seems to "get" what the camera is all about she will make a very unnatural face when she knows I am about to take her photo. It is much more difficult now to get her beautiful smile on camera!

Can I see your license and registration please?


Odessa LOVES to ride around in her car. It is so cute that she "prepares" by putting her purse around her neck and her Honey doll in one arm. She then will drive pretty erratically bumping into walls, bookshelves, coffee tables, cats etc.

Ready for a Grateful Dead concert

And what is with that face? I swear she gets it from her father!

O in the leaf pile














It is Fall. And one requirement of the season is to spend some time playing in the leaves. So Larry raked them up, and we introduced Odessa to the this fall festivity. She had a bit of trepidation at first, but quickly enjoyed "crunching" the leaves under her feet and throwing them up in the air.
