Perforation Problems

Sometimes you need a cookie so bad, and nobody else wants to get dessert. Then you stop to get gas on the way home and the gas station is in the same parking lot as a McDonald's. Fate. The cookie must not be ignored.

Ten minute hula hoop break at work... ...plus meeting my friend's daughter for the first time. So many babies! She's a cutie.

This past holiday season was the first that Michael and I actually spent together; usually he goes to NY on his own and I spend Christmas with my family. Since we're married now, that doesn't really fly anymore -- plus I miss the turd face. So this year we drove to New York to spend a couple days with the Kuehls before coming back to make the rounds with my folks. This meant that I got to experience a traditional Polish Christmas Eve dinner. My favorite part -- brace yourself -- was not the pickled herring, but the cheese-and-potato-filled pierogi. I know, shocker that I liked the cheese and potato part of the meal best. Yum.

It's too cold to constantly be searching the yard for errant stuffed ducks, so when the yard iced over last night the toys were trapped in a FROZEN DEATH. Clyde found it alarming that I was taking pictures of all his toys. He could not actually pick them up and take them away from me, so he just kept walking over to stand on top of them. (The tennis ball is my official 365 pic for the day) I like ice when I don't have to drive anywhere. It's interesting. Especially when you have a macro lens. Taking REALLY CLOSE pictures of things is fun. I also liked how the ice filled the paths Clyde makes in the yard - he's too dainty to walk just ANYWHERE.  Yay, ice! Happy weekend, imaginary readers.
