Addie & Heidi and another little girl at the park this morning 

Addie going down the slide 

CAPTAIN FURIOUS

She has her moods.

Big Head Tori

It's just freaky.

I saw a commercial for an upcoming made for TV movie starring the darling Tori Spelling. Here's what Tori reminds me of:

When I was a little girl my sisters and I had a small collection of Barbies and lots of makeshift furniture and clothes. One Christmas, I got a Candie doll--remember her? She was like Barbie only bigger. Like in real life, she'd be 6'6" and 250 punds next to an average woman. So Candie didn't fit in the clothes or the house or the car. She was just an amazon. But sometimes I would take off her head and put it on a Barbie so she could have some fun, although she looked ridiculous. Well, Tori Spelling looks exactly like the Candie-headed Barbie.

Seriously--how her skinny neck holds up that enormous noggin just boggles my mind!

Funny

Somebody just emailed me and asked me if my stepmom was really 29 (like on Bill & Ted). Um, no--lucky for me and maybe too bad for her, but she is not 29. She's more than 36 but less than 55, and she kicks butt in the FBI. (Oops--I hope that doesn't get her fired or something).

You Know It's Been Too Long Since You Shaved Your Legs...

...when your toddler keeps licking your legs because she likes that funny stubble feel.

Heidi is sooooo funny about hair and skin--you should have seen her biting Rich's [very hairy] arm in the pool! She was trying to get that weird soggy stuff off her daddy!

PS: After I worked out at lunchtime, I stopped in to check out a new gallery/shop thingy downtown (which means "2-tenths of a mile from our apartment"). It's called The Sparkling Dawg and it looks like fun. The owner, Lynn, is a writer/designer paper person like me! I agreed to attend a bookmaking class they are holding on June 29th...sounds fun. (If you go to their website, be sure to click the links to "shop" and "Calender Street"and see how cute Livingston is).

Trouble, Thy Name is HEIDI

I had turned the steps around so she'd stop climbing on them--fat chance.

She actually said "cheese" when she saw the camera--no joke! 

Here is our mainfloor from the front door...ready for flooring! The area you see in the photo will be all wood laminate; the bedrooms (off to the left of this photo) will have light frieze carpet, as of May 26th. 

This is what our bathroom tile looked like on Sunday--our two mainfloor bathrooms are done (the other bathroom is bluish); we will use the same tile in the master bath downstairs around the jacuzzi tub and in the shower, like Willy's master bath.  

ON THIS DATE IN HISTORY, part 2

Today is my step mom's birthday...Happy 29th Birthday, Becky! We love you! My cousin, Larkin (aka YARKIN) was also born on this date, TWENTY--veinte anos!!!--YEARS ago. Happy Birthday, Yarkin!
