The Third Quarter...

We're in the third quarter of 2010, and I stumbled across my New Years' Resolutions today.

I'm pleased to announced that I have successfully:

2. Facebook'd less
4. Lost 15 pounds
5. Finished a few sewing projects (our living room is becoming adorned with pillows!)
6. Prayed frequently
9. Revamped the living room (though it's still a work in progress)
11. Traveled to both West Virginia and Missouri
13. Got family portraits done (of us three, but NOT of the extended families yet)
14. Successfully nursed Casey through the 12-month mark (and far, far beyond)
15. Donated a good amount of my hair to Locks of Love

We'll have to ask Tee Jay how he's doing with:
"have more patience for people who don't walk on escalators when there's no reason not to."

Back Installments of "Overheard in Our Home"...

These are oldies that I jotted down on scrap paper and came across today...

Q. Does my voice sound different to YOU when my fingers are up in my nose?
A. Yes.


I think ______ is Jewish. His last name is Temple. That's the only thing I'm going off of.



T: You smell like burger.
C: You do?
T: No, you do.
C: That doesn't sound very nice.
T: No, it's good. You smell like the greasy stuff leftover on the plate.
C: Huh.

Hot Night in the City...

It's hot in Philly, but Casey still prefers to be outdoors when possible (and her Daddy is often willing to fulfill such wishes).

This evening, a few young girls from the other end of our street posted a sign on our corner, so Teej and Casey went to check it out and saw a hand-written notice with an arrow that read "Face Painting."

We took a little walk down to the Face Painting area of the sidewalk, and Casey dutifully sat for a flower on her arm while she met Courtney, Nancy and Marisa (future baby-sitters, I hope!). We paid the ladies $1.25 for the artwork, and I fear that at 7:50PM on a Monday, they might not get much more business. But we had fun (while it lasted), and that counts for something!
