two boxes better

Wow, I've gotten three emails in the last two weeks saying "hello, are you still alive." D'oh. I've gotten so sucked into the world of blogging I completely forget about sending out email anymore. I'm a baad girl. But yes, I'm alive and well.

Didn't get things hung up on the wall like I was hoping yesterday. Instead we watched a special Mythbusters (my hubby's current fave show) in which they debunked some of the plot points in the movie "Jaws" which we'd just watched on New Year's Eve. How's that for coincidence. After that finished, I had to exile myself in the kitchen to make jambalaya, which turned out really well.

Every day after his shower, my sweetie throws his terry cloth bathrobe over a box for Lily to sleep in. Don't ask me why, but that's one of her special places. Well today during vacuuming, another box got added on top. Guess Lily figures if one box is good, two boxes is better.

I took a few pics off the balcony right outside my apartment - I live up on the 4th floor, which would be the 5th floor in American reckoning. I had to wait 'til there was a day off so the workmen weren't out there sanding down plaster. I can't wait until they're finished. Anyway, Ma'adi is probably far greener than you were expecting. I did warn you the sky had been pretty gray.

Bonnie, who must move at least 20 times faster than I do, has put together my bloggy bits into a tutorial for making the free-pieced letters. She's done a lot of work on it and I think it looks pretty amazing, tho I'm incredibly biased. You can check it out here or click on the link in my sidebar. Thanks, Bonnie.
