What starts with “H” and ensures you are always a bridesmaid, never a bride?
Hepatitis C?

(Real answer: Halitosis)

I’m in the den knitting (an epic shawl) and watching the latest episode of QI, while Jack takes his morning nap and Ben takes a final exam.

For Valentine’s Day Ben set our DVR PC to bounce a signal around the world, ending so that it looks like I’m a UK citizen.  This allows me to use the iPlayer, sort of like their Hulu.  I can instantly watch shows from the BBC (Sherlock, QI, Doctor Who) and ITV (Downton Abbey).  Marrying a nerd has great perks.  <3

I knit a balaclava. Ben thinks it is scary.

Jack assumes a judgmental pose to watch the show.

Look at my gorgeous and talented sister-in-law on TV!

Choo choo!

I've had supplies to make a terrarium for over a month. Finally built one last night. I love it! I'm nursing back some faltering cactuses, then I'll build another one to hang on my wall in the old fishbowl.

Today is my birthday; I must say good-bye to my 20s. 

I treated myself to a 5 day break from work and it’s been mighty nice.  I have tomorrow off, so I get to stay out late at trivia tonight.  My folks have been visiting this weekend.  We saw Lord of the Dance on Saturday and have done much shopping and eating of delicious things.  Today I’m keeping it relaxed.  I slept in, said good-bye to parents and played with Jack while eating a chocolate croissant and hot chocolate in my pajamas.  During morning nap I knit and watched Black Books on netflix.  We had lunch at Garbanzo’s and went to Cherry Creek mall where I got a new dress from Anthropologie.  Now Jack is trying to take an afternoon nap (not very well so far) and I see more knitting ahead of me.  Maybe more photos to come, but I’m enjoying being lazy.  That’s what birthdays are for, right?

Watch out for those dangerous kicks!

This photo came to me while at work courtesy of Ben with the note “Needs a cup holder.” I love it.
