And I am a chia pet.

Woot! Man, it is pure chaos around here. It's the really BIG MESS before the Clean... or something like that. The attack of the new furniture has left new and old battling for space with laundry, baby contraptions and stuff-on-it's-way-to-the-post-office. I'm feeling a little overwhelmed at the moment, but it will pass and I wil EVENTUALLY FIND MY DRIVER'S LICENSE! HAPPY No.1: The picture above - is a peek at the new thank you cards that Botanical PaperWorks created for me. SWEET. This wonderful little custom job makes my heart flutter. Thank you BP! I designed the little Pilot graphic and then they printed these adorable cards on PLANTABLE paper. I just LOVE this idea. No waste. WOW.

Happy No.2: I am a lucky, lucky girl to get JOURNAL REVOLUTION in the mail straight from Linda Woods herself. Autographed. Sweet deal. I guess the Art Army is coming for me. ;)

Happy No.3: Happy to report that I'm 5 pounds less than my pre-pregnancy weight - sad to say that I have been pleasantly redistributed as random flab. No sweat - I'm gonna spin myself back to normal. Exercise bike target today: 45 minutes on Level 7.

Happy No.4: Crash, Pilot and I kicked major ass on a powerwalk-of-all-powerwalks. IN THE SNOW. ON THE ICE. Pushing the Uber-Stroller. OH. huff. MY. huff. GOD. huff. huff.

Happy No.5: I love this backpack. Ms. Leslie Good sent me this site. IS it terribly UNCOOL to get this pack for Pilot? Too obvious? Too tacky? I love it.

Happy No.6: WATCH THIS very short video clip. I love Zoe.

Happy No.7: Dan being Dan and doing GREAT things like paint the spare room to SURPRISE ME and also put together 4 hundred pieces of complicated furnitures. LOVE.

Happy No. 8: Watching Pilot's new brain compute the WEIRDNESS that is Baby Einstein... hearing the squeals of delight and thoroughly enjoying her beautiful expression of awesome.

Today: I have to catch up. Post office here I come. Too many things to list. Groceries. Gifts. OY! My heart is going into small palpitations just thinking about listing it all out. Here I go. No day like today to stand up and punch hesitation in the face. Woot! GO! GO!

Wow, she really has your eyes. I could see it before, but that look of wonder at the computer just looks like you. Isn't it fun to watch them see the world expand before their eyes?

Kal, What a super list and what a great idea, we have been working on looking on the bright side over here too, but instead my 4 year old says she wants to look on the "Silly" side...*chuckle* too funny...

LOVE Pilots amazed face, that photo is priceless...

LOVE LOVE LOVE (boldtype)Zoe...that is the cutest!

Way to go! "wooOoTT"(like Zoe!)

YAY on the PP weight :) :) .. and as for the backpack.. well.. it is a plane.. not a pilot (does that help..LOL)... i think those hats with the fluffy ear covers in brown leather and a lil set of flying wings attached to her PJs.. might be going a lil far.. *but funny!*...
And... the back pack description says... " go, go, go! and take what ever you need along!".... so GO GO GO for it..
