Another reason I love Paula Deen: She sells a pot just for warming butter. Amazing.

DH and I went to see the new 3D Shrek movie. It was great. This lady was standing in front of us at the ticket counter with her shirt on inside out. Heh heh.

Today I decided to tackle cleaning our coat closet. We've just been throwing junk in there all winter, and the mess had finally gotten to me.

I got to go see Baby Amery and had lunch with her mama today.


She had fun playing with my shoes and trying to walk around in them.

I also got some barefoot running shoes today, and she tried those on for me too. I can't believe how big she's getting!

Might need to zoom in to see the humor in this one.

Exciting stuff: we bought a grill today. Here's DH putting it together and the finished product with the handle on the wrong side. Yep, we had to reassemble it.

I went and got my hair cut (and darkened a bit) today. I had accidentally let it get really long, purely from being too busy and not making time to go get it cut. She cut off 5 inches. Look at these little teeny baby braids. (compare to April 18). I'm having a little bit of regret, but I know it'll grow back, probably sooner than I realize.

I saw this random little origami crane up by our lecturer's computer this afternoon. I don't know what cranes symbolize, but today was our last day of lecture for the year, so I'm going to hope it means something good.
