1. Not just a baby bump anymore!
I’d like you to meet my beautiful new nephew Jameson! He was born healthy and perfect in every way, and my big sister completely rocked childbirth and is doing splendidly. Can’t wait to go see the newest member of my family next month! Until then, I’m making his mama send me pictures every day. (And also, I totally made the baby blanket in the background of that pic :o)
2. A letter from Baroness Schraeder
You know, the one from Sound of Music. If you ever pondered what happened to her after Maria snatched the Captain away (or even if you never wondered at all) you will be delighted to find the Baroness is doing well and harbors no hard feelings. “Please, friends, don’t worry about me. While I was a bit startled to be thrown aside for someone who flunked out of nun school, I assure you that I will be fine, and my main pursuits in life shall continue to be martinis, bon mots, and looking fabulous.” Read the letter on McSweeney’s.
3. The scratch on my leg
I have a minor scratch on my shin. Why do I love it, you ask? Because it happened when my cat fell into the bathtub, and it was AWESOME. Every time I look at my leg, I remember Charlie frantically clawing his way out of the tub with a drenched lower half. Wet cats make me laugh. (And no, I didn’t push him in just so I could laugh at him. He fell from natural causes.)
4. Happiness makes everything better
I love watching things that reinforce the merits of happiness. Especially this one, in which a little girl finds a new identity as a baby unicorn. It’s a 12 minute video, absolutely hilarious and one of my favorite Ted Talks of all time. Watch The Happy Secret to Better Work here.
5. Rosy Blu’s next project!
It’s top secret right now, but I’ll be announcing it on the blog within the next two weeks. And I LOVE it. I can hardly contain my excitement, and you are going to love it too!
