February 2006 Archives
The site revamping will take a little longer... As I work on reconstructing the site, my own body is going through some serious modifications as well. I am now 17 weeks pregnant with a visible pooch and strangers ask me when I am due. The instant recognition and often excited response that pregnancy elicits is kind of nice -- rather like being a celebrity without the paparazzi or the money or the glamour.
More updates on site updates soon!!
Please excuse the mess while I attempt to get Movable Type working again. AND I'm working on a much anticipated shop section with greeting cards, prints and more. I've managed to miss Christmas and Valentine's day entirely but just in time for...what? Easter? Earth Day? I don't know, but I think it'll be pretty smashing.
From him to me.
It has been an unprecedented week of sunshine and bliss -- normally February is endlessly rainy and dreary. It feels like spring is straining to burst from every corner. To celebrate the end of my pregnancy queasiness, we decided to take a weekend trip to the mountains and spontaneously ended up in Roslyn, of Northern Exposure fame.
We spent the night in Huckleberry House, a charming bed and breakfast in downtown Roslyn. I spent a luxurious evening soaking in the claw-footed bathtub while The Honey sipped Washington brewed stout from tap (the tap is on site by an impressive hot tub). We woke up to yet another sunny morning and peering out of the window revealed a landscape of hushed snow-covered houses and invisible chirping birds. After a quick run (him) and before a long walk (me) there's nothing like a hearty home-cooked breakfast of french toast, scrambled eggs and fruit salad accompanied by good conversation with the inn keepers and fellow guests.
Next time we come, we'll make sure to test out the hot tub and watch the complete set of Northern Exposure tapes. A perfect weekend nonetheless.
Periodically my formatting goes out the window and the only thing to fix it is to post something new. Today, I thought I would brag about my talented family:
Mama recently started her own blog and I put up her gallery site a few months ago...still need to update it somewhat.
Older Younger Brother is quite world-reknowned at this point. You've probably seen his near-daily comic strip. He even has his own entry in Wikipedia!
Younger Younger Brother is also a comic boy and has a slew of blogs and portfolio sites.
Check 'em out. They'll make you want to draw.
