Off to Ireland
I realize my posts have been sporadic of late (explained at Casapinka.) This week involved a few amusing moments, such as the cat door incident before dinner. Seems he smelled the catfood which we thought was out of reach. Don't worry, as Junior went through husband ran around to the other side to grab him (after a brief argument that this photo wasn't appropriate. HA.)
You know how men are. Husband dressed Juniorette in these scuffed up trashbin shoes to take her to church. As I was intercepting this, I noticed a tubular structure in her socks. "It's my chapstick mommmy," she whispered. Daddy said I couldn't bring it ." Excellent, a child well taught.
I'm telling you, blogging has really made the world tiny. As all of you were giving me sympathy about my job several weeks back, Di Overton of Designer's Block told me I needed a break, sent me a link to a 1 cent ticket from Dublin to England to visit her in her cottage for the day. I booked it and next Tuesday I'm off to Northumberland. We're going to hit a few thrifty/antique stores and go back to her little retreat. I just hope that England is prepared! I'm off to Ireland Thursday. Check back periodically in case I can post anything. Ciao!
Have a great trip, Pink!

Happy holiday, Pink, and may suitable saints smile on Placido! Give me a shout if you plan to go west - would love to catch up and discuss how to make havoc beautiful.

Oh Crikey! Really? Fancy a trip to Barnsley? (I really won't be offended if you say nay!)
Hope the sunny weather holds up!

Hi, Pink. Your blog is effing hilarious. When I have a baby in a few years I'm totally going to steal that HODAD nickname from you. Have a great trip!
