gray as the sugarplum fairy- with her little ponies underneath her dress (tutu)
time for a good things i love list. really. i need one.
*just finished smudging my humble and chaotic abode. although i feel much better now that it's smudgalicious, the whole experience has left my house smelling like i just smoked a big fat blunt. hum. must reconsider smudging. or start smoking.
*gray's newfound love of the nutcracker. in particular, the dance of the sugarplum fairy. thanks to aunties jo and lib's visit this past weekend, gray's curiousity about the nutcracker was sparked, and now it's the nutcracker on record, the nutcracker on cd, nutcracker books and some serious nutcrackin' dancing going on.
*my peeps. you all know how much i love my peeps. but seriously. seriously! i've been going through a particularly suckyass situation at work with a client, and some of you peeps have saved my life by listening and processing and prebriefing and debriefing and encouraging and validating and did i mention listening?
*deep discussions about blogging- the why's? and the how much's and the why even bother anyways?
*my little man turning one tomorrow. one! planning a photobooth trip (surprise surprise) to commemorate the day.
*a new stack of wool blankets to accomodate our ever-expanding snuggle couchy clan at nighttime
*leftover california three bean chili
*loving thoughts and healing vibes to a little person's broken pieces
*my upcoming free afternoon, with much crafting and snuggle to ensue
*s&s's upcoming MA visit from TX- we can't wait to see you!
*city shopping yesterday- exploring the hugest asian supermarket ever invented, and finding treasures amongst the clutter and live crabs
*wondering if "amongst" is a word but leaving it anyway
*the upcoming date with femiknit this weekend to bizarre bazaar...and the mad props she's always giving to me, even though she doesn't have to.
*is it possible that ever thursday my heart explodes a little more with love? you guys must be sick over this sun-shiny-ness and love all around, for sure.
xo!

Oh, no, there is no sickness going on. I love your lists. I look forward to your lists. Your lists make me happy and smiley.
I am sorry to hear that there have been some work "issues" with a client, and hope that all has cleared up and that you are feeling much better.
Happy Friday to you Nina!!!
xoxoxoxo
i love your lists
and love the time that we spent together this past week. much needed respite, indeed.
my guess at smudging = waxing floors? or else, some form of cleaning.
oh - and HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY JOEY-BEAR!
I am glad you smudge, was it sage? Let me tell you about this native american opera where we smudged our space at the top of the performance, but my sensitive throat could not handle singing so soon after the smudging. I and it survived, but I chuckle to myself thinking about it. Happiest birthday to your little guy, first day of Hannukah, I will light the candle for him. I don't believe that a year has gone by since he made his miraculous manifestation out of utero.
happy happy to the lil man!
HELLO to my favorite mama! I so miss you this week! I finally have some time to sit and catch-up with the blog. Teaching went well! The kids and staff were amazing! Your musical gift to me really helped me collect-myself at the end of each day. Thank you!!
And, I just LOVE this picture. You have such an "eye" for photographing!
Much love,
Tabatha
Oh, there is a great store in Derry, NH that sells the best smudging stuff. Lavender and sweet grass are wonderful! Sage is a bit smokey for me.
Love,
Tab
I love that her ponies are kneeling before her, great pic!
Smudging can make for an interesting smell about the house (probably more common here on the island!).
I have been having some blogging issues lately too, I am just going to see where it takes me, we will see...
smudging- the burning of herbs (usually sage and lavender and sweet grass) to cleanse yourself or your space. totally helpful, totally stinky.
angela and jen- thank you bloggie friends for the incredible christmas cards! i love that i get to see your beautiful families. thank you thank you!
jen- client issues- we'll have to discuss sometime. i wish i could go into it here, but you know the deal!
steph, we may have to reschedule for tues because i don't want your beans getting this stomach flu of gray's for christmas (or ever!) we'll touch base about it tomorrow. xo
janess- you've got to come and get a piece of the nina beana clan craziness. you and your wonderous husband can be honorary members of the craziness. please let me feed you! i would love to take some pics of you, too. and debrief.
THANKS FOR ALL THE JOGEYBEAR BIRTHDAY WISHES!
and melba, i wish i could've met you at BB! i felt like the most uncoolest person there- everyone was gorgeous and tatooed and freakin' hot! i had a blast though, and only managed to spend $4!
gracie's tutu and her mylittleponies make me smile, too. i love this list! happy (late) bday to that little bobbleredhead.
huggins to the queen of lubbins.
