Mail

If I had made a New Year resolution, mine would've been to start doing things that I used to love doing but then quit for various reasons. I used to love to send cards/notes to people. This past Christmas, I realized that I really miss sending mail to people and so with the help of Mandolin, we've completed a special Valentine's Day project (you have to do things ahead of time to get it in the mail on time). If you didn't get a Christmas card from us and would like to get a Valentine, e-mail me your address at jilliansway@aol.com and we'll gladly add you to the list. You know, earlier tonight I was making address labels and I realized that bookshelf people love to move around a lot.

Sad times

J.D. Salinger has left us. Guess we're really not getting another book from him.

Poor old Uncle Wiggily.

Want to get goosebumps?

Listen to Justin Timberlake singing a gorgeous version of one of the prettiest songs of all time.

I shouldn't read the news

I feel bad for the voters in South Carolina, but then again, they'll probably vote for the jerk and get what they deserve.

terrific twos

I was at the bookstore earlier today with my guy and Mandolin. My guy had half day of work today so we met after for lunch and books. Mandolin had to go "big girl potty" so off we rushed to the bathroom. Another woman came in to take care of her own business while Mandolin was finishing hers up and we started washing our hands. Hand washing is always a drawn-out affair. I usually ignore other people in the bathroom, as we're socialized to do, but halfway through the second round of the "wash your hands song" Mandolin started yelling at the woman who came in earlier. Apparently this woman decided not to wash her hands and Mandolin flipped out and started yelling "Mommy, that's dirty" and pointing at the woman. The woman shot us a look and quickly left the room. We completed our song and hand washing and made our way out of the room to look for daddy when Mandolin decided to tell everyone and I mean EVERYONE in the store that the woman was dirty and didn't wash her hands while pointing at said woman. Her exact words were "Eww yuck, she's dirty mommy, you gotta wash hands, yuck it's dirty" with the exuberant hand pointing and arm waiving that only a small child can do. I was mortified.
