TTY: Day Eighty Eight

The aftermath of a Thursday.

TTY: Day Eighty Seven

Somehow this is the only photo I took today. I'm working on a logo for a friend's new photo studio.

TTY: Day Eighty Six

As awful as this looks, it's really quite tasty. It's a German pancake "casserole style." Jas wanted me to make extra and I only have one pie plate which is what I normally cook it in. So we got this delicious monstrosity.

TTY: Day Eighty Five

What better way to start the week than with corn on the cob for breakfast.

TTY: Day Eighty Four

We went swimming with my uncle for the first time this summer. Beans had a blast and flipped out when we left. But we finally got her to wear a floatation device!

TTY: Day Eighty Three

I have a friend that works at Barnes & Noble. Today she was Spot the Dog.

TTY: Day Eighty Two

Bubbles make a happy Beans. And so do pirate shirts.

TTY: Day Eighty One

Sweet sugar skull shirt! I made it myself! Beans calls it a "pirate shirt". Any thing with a skull is pirate, you know.

TTY: Day Eighty

Have a seat... or two.

TTY: Day Seventy Nine

I guess this is good for digestion.

TTY: Day Seventy Eight

Sadie Bear in the Jasmine. There is so much that the fragrance is almost overwhelming.

TTY: Day Seventy Seven

What better way is there to spend a Sunday afternoon than wearing a sparkly tutu, sitting in an overstuffed chair and eating a mini ice cream drum stick with a spoon?

TTY: Day Seventy Six

Beans, Jas, and I went to have hibachi with Jas' family. This was taken right before the chef set the whole grill on fire! I should have take video of Beans reaction - she nearly fell out of her chair! But she had a great time!

TTY: Day Seventy Five

We're picking out a thermos, for Jas!

TTY: Day Seventy Four

Beans and I took the Bear to the doctor today. Beans thought she was at the doctor and got freaked out for a minute. But we have reestablished that we have a big, healthy Bear-dog.

Cute Blog Alert: Bentobloggy

Okay, so you have to check out this blog: Bentobloggy! I love bento (and most cutesy Asian thing for that matter). I've been reading it for a while, but just became a follower (I forget that I can do that and how much easier it is to check blogs I like that way)!

Just look at the cute bentos she makes! The photo is "Mini Corn Dogs & Jolly Octopi Gentlemen"! I love it!

It is such a cute little blog and she has so many cute ideas - and healthy too! So go here, and check it out!

TTY: Day Seventy Three

I know as well as you this look disgusting. Food does not photograph well unless you take lots of care and time to do. And I took this on the arm of my couch with a cell phone camera. But it's called poutine and it's amazing artery clogging goodness! Fries, cheese curds, and brown gravy... mmmm, atherosclerosis.

TTY: Day Seventy Two

I'm getting pretty decent at this sushi rolling thing.

TTY: Day Seventy One

Poor Jas. He's been battling cellulitis. It's awful, but he's doing much much better now. Thanks to antibiotics, his elbow has gone from the size of a soft ball to almost normal!

TTY: Day Seventy

Jas made bread. He's a whiz at baking bread. These two loaves are oatmeal honey with cashews! Happy Mother's Day to my taste buds!

TTY: Day Sixty Nine

My sister is wonderful. She sent me flowers for Mother's Day. I love that kid.

TTY: Day Sixty Eight

Pants on your head, looking a goof-ball with your pants on your head.

TTY: Day Sixty Seven

My beautiful, hectic life. My sick husband, my butterfly winged baby, and my big stinky dog. It's a wonderful world.

TTY: Day Sixty Six

My little sunshine.

TTY: Day Sixty Five

I was doing some cooking this evening. I peeked around the corner to check on my little Beans. This is what I found. A happy toddler in a laundry basket with a piece of styrofoam.

FYI: She did not get to keep the styrofoam. I happen to know it's a non-toxic exposure if she eats it, but I'd prefer to prevent it from happening in the first place!

TTY: Day Sixty Four

My little buddy. We go almost everywhere together. Today she noticed that there are shrimp on her sippy cup. It made my day.

Hello Rostock!

It has come to my attention that I get a hit from a place called Rostock pretty often. Because I've never heard of it, I checked it out.

It's a town in the north German state Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. It's name come from Polabian (an extinct West Slavic language) for "to flow apart". It's on the Warnow river and it's center is about 12 km south of the Baltic sea. The highest record temperature is 93 degrees Fahrenheit (my kind of weather).

And the icing on the cake... It's BEAUTIFUL!

So thanks for checking out my blog Rostock! You live in a gorgeous city! I'm jealous of your cool weather and river front view. Please enjoy it every day for me!

With love from your American friend, Kels.

Jas has been busting up the concrete slab in our back yard. All by himself. He is like a machine.

TTY: Day Sixty Two

Quynh rocking on the ukulele she bought for Beans. I love this woman!
