Love hurts...

...my eyes.  Lucy was born in the year of the Rat.  I was born in the year of the Horse.  I learned this at dinner one night while pregnant with her.  I also learned that; The Rat and the Horse make quite an interesting pair! As opposite Signs in the Chinese Zodiac, their relationship may be marked by friction.  Well, you said it Chinese Calendar!  Below is one of Lu's latest battles, one I am glad to let her win with only the slightest of winces.

Congratulations William and Kate

Good Job and a Box Lunch

I put together these home-made box lunches for our teachers at St. Pat's today as it is "teacher appreciation week" and I was excited to finally be able to put these "civilettes" to work.  I found them at Oblation in the Pearl District last year.  Instructions on the box; Use in the event of a job well done by colleague, family or friend. and the back of each card reads, Please reuse responsibly.  Love it.
