today

uh oh!

or if you're Simon

good oh (!)

{photos unrelated but snapped today so somewhat relevant ormaybenotatall}

Blame it on the grapes turned raisins in Julia's highchair or the five semi empty bags of flour hogging unorganized space in the pantry or the muffin batter crust cemented to the stove top...and I'll stop there before I scare you away f-o-r-e-v-e-r-r-r-r-r

I solicited Julia's help and she went at it guns blazing

in the opposite direction

(yes the majority of her toys consist of tangible junk mail
... she counts her blessings on a daily basis)

she lovey a good and fast drawer empty

mother's girl

she was a helpy little lady in the bathroom and cheered my scrubbing and sweating onward with some tight-lipped smiles

(not a piece of plastic feces on her head just a nice brown bow she found while sweeping under her sleeping cage...which she loves and will never remove)

so...lest the productive spirit understandably moves onto greener pastures...I'll be flitting about cleaning, brow dabbing and head scratching should you need me

and

as my mother, Bettina, would say...

"I got a wild hair"

and just might do an x-small to small giveaway tomorrow

I predict there will be two interested parties in the prize out of my whole wide readership

maybe fewer...we'll see.
