Peace Love & Chocolate

By Da Mama

Long day today. I couldn't sleep last night and was up to all hours sewing a Frankenstine-ish Pillow out of one of Bella's baby blankees which recently became mysteriously fringed in silly putty. Had to cut the silly putty out. It was fun to make something nice and comfy out of a blankee that would have otherwise been tossed, but interesting to hand stitch with only a sewing repair kit.

Anyhow, I was tired, quite tired all day at work and daydreamed all day about sleeping. Todd is out tonight at the memory service of the dad of some of our closest friends here in town. Very hard, long battle with brain cancer. We send out love and strength to our good friends Jarred, Tara, Charlie, Rex, and Tommy.

The goal this evening: quiet and relaxation. And a whole lotta chocolate. The girls and I made a box of brownies and I found licking the bowl to be better than a spa to recover from my day. What else does a mommy need then Peace Love & Chocolate:

The Artist Known as Bella owes several of you art pieces. She's still in the creative-musing part of her process, so do not yet lose hope.

Kate, my mom mentioned you left a comment, but I don't see one from you. Wouldn't want to miss hearing form you. . .
