Confessions of a Fugitive Mind

Come 'n' Get 'Em
- I finally uploaded my photos from Chinese New Year. There are a few I'm really proud of, but most are just OK. More than a few seem to be just a second behind the action I was trying to capture. I'd like to blame my camera, but I think I really just need to practice holding the shutter halfway until I get the perfect shot.
- Last weekend's scrapbooking retreat was relaxing and productive. I didn't get everything done that I had planned, but I spent a lot of time chit-chatting and sharing with everyone. And really, that's the whole point of going. I can be creative here in my own space, but it's not very social. I have to say, even with all the crafty goodness, my twenty minutes in the massage chair might have been the highlight of the entire trip.
- I haven't mentioned my birthday yet, which was terribly indulgent. I had waffles at our company's February birthday breakfast the Friday before last and it all seemed to go downhill from there. I wanted a low key birthday, so Jon took me to Pizzaria Uno for deep dish pizza on Wednesday. We followed it up with homemade carrot cake (my favorite). He also gave me dies for my Cuttlebug and made me a card with his squirrel stamp. The card said to "go nuts" and was filled with cash to use for the retreat. Thursday was my lunch at the Cheesecake Factory with my coworkers where I nearly overloaded on White Chocolate Peanut Butter Truffle Cheesecake. So. Rich. And perfect for birthdays.
- Silly has a new trick. She has learned to take tissues out of the box. She must have practiced for hours on Friday because when I woke up there was a giant pile of tissues next to the bed and a half-empty tissue box. The little scamp. Not so cute is her taste for tender crocus shoots.

I sure do wish I could have indulged in some of the birthday delights. Everything sounded so scrumptious. Mmmm.
Love you,
Mom
