I always thought I’d have boys. Little twin boys. 3 different psychics told me that I would have twin boys. Shows what they know. Now as it turns out my sister has 2 boys and since we’re adopting from China we’ll end up with 2 girls. And I’m so excited about it! I can’t wait…

She Tagged me! I’m It! Lisa Tagged me! The idea is to pick 5 and complete the sentences, then pass this little meme on to 3 more of your blog pals! But no tag backs! If I could be a scientist… If I could be a farmer…If I could be a musician… If I could…

All things Chinese are appealing to me right now. I love these silver items. The fortune cookie is actually a little trinket box. And the take out box can be used for all sorts of things. I’m such a party planner at heart that I can see these being used at my shower. But you…

I’m having a really hard time not buying all the adorable baby stuff I’ve been seeing. Luckily (for my willpower and pocketbook) we are poor, I am still jobless, and we don’t know how old Lingling will be. So there’s no sense in buying certain things now. Plus, I can’t go too crazy and put…

Jon’s parents took us to dinner at this cool restaurant downtown named Palomino and when the waitress brought the check she also passed out these cute little quotes. Mine is so perfect: I am always doing things I can’t do—that’s how I get to do them.-Pablo Picasso.

Just another gratuitous pug shot for you. They were so cute sleeping all piled up on my MIL’s lap the other day!

Ok, so the picture has nothing to do with this post, but it’s just so daggum cute. I took this picture of Jake a week ago on my Mom’s stairs. I love this picture- he’s very photogenic. My Mil is a librarian and there is this older couple who volunteer at the library. Their son…

Ike loves to perch up on the back of the sofa and watch what’s going on in the kitchen when I’m cooking or cleaning. So cute. I realized it’s been entirely too long since I’ve posted pictures of our puggies. Here’s one of Miss Kea. She’s recently discovered the joys of the belly rub and…

When Lisa was in town last time, she noticed a major difference in how us Southerners treat time vs. up North. We had 10 am appointments that were supposed to last 2.5 hours. We didn’t leave the salon until 3pm. I had to call the nail place twice to push back our appointments there since…

I discovered Story People at a tiny gallery in Blowing Rock, NC about 7 years ago. I became addicted. Brian Andreas is the artist and he creates prints, cards, sculpture, furniture, the works. But the thing that gets me in my heart are the words, the little stories. I gave this one to Jon on…
