Made

Crocheted ball for my nephew, stuffed with yarn! (He loves balls.)



I gave it to him, then all hell broke loose.









Then someone got upset!



Sob!

It reminded me of the time I put the gerbil in the cage with the hamster.

I let my brother supervise.

Airplane!

Hudson River:



Good-bye!

Oooh, snowy fields!



Top secret spy pictures of Greg:





By Greg:


YI-I-I-I-I-IKES!!!!!

Oh, hello fleuve Saint-Laurent:



Yay Montreal, Quebec, Canada!!

"Hanukkah's over"





"I think we can put that montage of Grandpa out on the curb now."

I seriously took this picture on December 18, around ten at night.

What not to do

Eat it 'cause it's there.



Pre-holiday conference-table carnage.

Scourge of New York

Crappy cupcakes:



Everywhere!

Montreal

Remember these?

We visited my sister again, last week! Here are a few more things from her apartment.

Drawing she made on the inside cover of her music notation book 20 years ago:





Hee hee.

Picture of our mom when she was a kid, taken, developed, and printed by my grandfather:






















Fat little legs and short bangs!

And here is sis and me at the beach:











That's her on the left.

Man I wish I had that green bathing suit in my size now . . .

Cautionary display

The dry wrinkly frozen hand of someone who hates to spend money on gloves:



Lesson: be like a normal person and buy yourself some damn gloves!

I'm back!

I was away, but I have returned!

Much to report. Updates soon . . .

Yay holidays!

Note

I edited this book.




































Best of 2009, that's what I'm talking about!

(My contribution may or may not have had anything to do with it.)

Hewo kitty!



Will you be my friend?





Hey, where you going?

Come back kitty!



Becky will pet you!





OK, well . . . you are busy today.

I understand.

Sunday night

I made pizza!





Can you believe it? I never made it before.

It was shockingly good.

December 15, 2009

Ha ha!

Mr. Cactus peed his pants!



He fell over too.

I think he's been drinking again.

GOOD LORD!

They are multiplying!





Where did this towhead come from?

Time to seal the crack under the door.

A good Friday night

Stay at the office until 9:30 getting stuff done. Meet Greg in Brooklyn.



A bottle of wine, a steak, puddin', and coffee.

Home together.

Sleep for ten hours.

Yes.

50 cent books



Weekend purchases.

Yep.

Division of property

We used to share, but now we divide em up (apparently someone is a selfish hogg in her sleep).



Greggy gets the red duvet. I get the white blanket, the blue quilt, and the Hudsons Bay blanket.

Despite having more body fat, I seem to require more insulation.

Portrait studio

Edmé.



Pensive. (Also: cute belly rinkle)

December 11, 2009

Sorry if this is you

On the E train.



I really wanted to see the dog's face!

I took like 50 pictures.



No dice.

Erosion

Remember the mint plant I had on the fire escape at our old apartment?

Well, when we got to the new place I stuck it outside on the air conditioner then neglected it.



It got rained on, blown around by the wind...and look at what has been revealed!



Some little skorl is skwatching his haid. "Now where's that nut at?"

December 10, 2009

See these boots?



Something inside the sole is detached on the right foot.

See this hallway?



I walk up and down it, like, 75 times a day.

Step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step . . .

It's driving me up the frickin' wall.

What to do

Write things on little pieces of paper. Then forget why.



Also draw a few pictures.

It's the best way to stay organized. (I find.)
