some lovely mumbo jumbo.

favorite glasses, lists, and wishes.

me with my new favorite glasses ever.

my chamber `a coucher (a fancy word for bedroom)

this post is about me. i got new spectacles. i really really love them. they are dark, big, and have some torta-shell to them. i have no idea how to even spell torta-shell. i am so worried they are going to get broken. it is risky having glasses with an infant and a two year old. but i need to be able to see-so it is worth the risk. i read today a post that talked about 100 skills everyone should master. among them:

keep a plant alive, express condolences, be polite, make your case in writing, feel confident naked, take a decent photo, know what makes you happy....etc.

it was a great post read it. so you can tell me how to use a fire extinguisher. something i think we shouldn't have to learn, and if we do, shouldn't we be taught this in kindergarten? another great post that made me really really happy, is about details. read that one too. it will make you happy too. especially the his and hers photos.

the last photo is of my bed. i was holding jo jo at 5:30p.m. and i was trying to get her to sleep. i looked at my bed, which has become the hub of our home. every baby product you could imagine was on our bed. including baby toys, blankets, laundry, everything. at first it stressed me out, because i began to think of how much i had to do. then i realized that i loved it all. i loved the baby stuff, the diapers the little clothes that had just been freshly cleaned. it made me happy. i thought to myself that i had better not wish my life away, by worrying about all the things i have to do. because one day i will look back and wish i could be back, sitting on my bed, rocking my little baby to sleep, wondering where the time went. good thing i got new glasses, they not only make me look smarter, but they actually make me wiser.
