you can't win if you don't play....

  haven't been in a writing mood lately - spent the weekend cleaning our filthy house (and I mean that obsessive dust-the-top-of-picture-frames kind of cleaning) and enjoying just staying home.  Got onboard the Battlestar Galactia train and we're both big fans after watching the 3 hr 'miniseries' on DVD.  We'll be catching up in the next few weeks/months w/ the other seasons.   Lost is gettng so sucky that I'm ready to quit it and shift allegiances, and who knows what's going on w/ Veronica Mars' absence...

Played with Ben a ton - he's standing like a champ, but not crawling or shuffling his legs.  He's doing the Dad Dance (you know it...the bent knee head nod) and has learned to gracefully plop down from standing.  Put him on his stomach and he'll lift his butt and scoot backwards a bit, but then stretch and roll over to get what he wants.  Guess he'll be one of those straight-to-walking kids.   (and 10 1/2 months, for those of you counting)

While thumbing through the mail last night, saw this room (page 17 of the PDF, called 'Soothing Space) in the Lowe's monthly project 'magazine'.  me want!  (although I'd add a daybed from West Elm and a drafting table for crafty things/laptop table, but then I'd have to keep the crafty stuff cleaned up so that it would remain a Soothing Space).  So, the Next House List of Wants now includes:  space for Katherine's Chill Room.    The windows in the pic MAKE the room.

Otherwise, just plowing through the assembly of my 2006 year in review Blurb book, which I was suppose to have done in Feb.  Oops.
