and i'd help them bury a body if i had to.

Needless to say that I have the two best bffs in the world. Today we were reunited and it was such an awesome day. Both of them are the two strongest most amazing people I have ever met. And today one of them blew my mind. I am so proud of my Ricky. And so happy for the weight that has been lifted off his shoulders. A new chapter begins - and it's going to be a wonderful one.

My besties are extraordinary.

Baby Landon's quilt...



Okay here's the final result of my Martha project for Baby Landon. It's not perfect but a good first attempt at a quilt. Hopefully I'll get better with time. I hope Baby Landon likes it!

I'm a really bad blogger. But today something funny happened and I actually thought, that'd be a good blog post. So here goes...


We've been having some copier troubles this week, and so on Tuesday I had the service man come out. I always like calling the copier service people. They are friendly and come out quickly which never happens with repair people. Also, our copier man is the cutest guy I've ever seen. If I ever wrote a novel he would be the main character. He's balding and has mousy poufy hair and big thick glasses. He always smells like old cigarette smoke. He's a bit short and has a round belly and always wears short sleeve dress shirts with black pants. He has a big suitcase that has all his copier tools in it and he is very serious about fixing copy machines. He even made me a list once of all the proper supplies I'd need to keep in stock for our machines to ensure we wouldn't run out of any toner, ever. Point being, I love him. So I was very sad on Tuesday when he wasn't the guy who came out to fix things. The man who came was nice and definitely smelled better but I just wasn't as excited when I walked up front to greet him. Luckily, he did a bad job and made the copier dirty so I had to call again today for another service call. And it was my lucky day because our normal service guy came!! He came when I was on lunch and just showed himself back to the workroom( I love some self sufficiency in a repair person) and by the time I walked by he had his whole suitcase out and laptop and was vacuuming out the machine (seriously!!). I didn't see him though so I went to my desk and started working. A couple minutes later I was walking down the hall and I saw him - he had a new mustache! But it was a hitler mustache!!!! And I was so disappointed, this was a serious conflict of interest. He most certainly couldn't be my favorite service man if he was a nazi! I waved hello from a far and kept on my way. About 30 minutes later I went into the workroom to get something I needed and asked him how things were going. He looked up from the copier and said it was good and he would be done soon. That's when I noticed it wasn't a mustache but rather copier toner on his face. Moral of the story: He is SO my favorite service man and I think I'll start jotting down notes for that book.

I don't know if you're all aware, but a super serious artist did a portrait of me the other day. I'm the blue and the green is my sister.
