Goodness, Ellie looks so happy and energetic!

Much GI~ma to those who need it.

What great eyes! And great smile! And the blanket over the back of the couch made me homesick.

My world is sepia-toned. It's the spring winds from Libya, and they are howling through Athens and carrying yellow dust - what seems like half of Libya is in the air here.

I don't have any way to keep Mal from being sandblasted, so we're staying inside, in the dim sepia light, watching the wind play merry hell with the trees and clouds. All the trash was blown away last night; some of it has fetched up, with my patio chairs, in the corner of my porch.

And I'm in a mood. I don't know if it's the wind, or moon phase, or the feeling that we should be preparing to move in a couple months (stupid every-two-years-switch-countries clock), but I am not gruntled.

Ah, still barfy this morning. Though I didn't, actually, barf this morning. Yet. I feel it may be imminent.

I'm going to be fabulous company for SA this weekend, I tell you what.

Ellie is ginormous! SO CUTE!

Was woken up with baby kisses on my face. She must be trying to say "Sorry I cried and tossed and turned and kept you up most of the night - even when you put me in your bed, mommy. See how cute I am?"

Pfft. Steph, I neglected to tell you I'm bringing homework.

Which you then have the mission of distracting me from.

ps you never answered my last email, yo.

The sound of my barfing should be a good distraction.

Hmm. I didn't, did I? I thought I addressed everything -- in a roundabout way -- herein. Will go re-read e-mail.

Cereal:

Yes, I have a coffee grinder. (But -- I also have coffee.)

coffee grinder! why? I will not tell. Though it is too easy to extrapolate.

The sound of my barfing should be a good distraction.

I will hold your hair back! Metaphorically because it's really short!

That is so sweet! I'm sure she's very sorry for keeping you up.

I think my mom got it in/near Chimayo. I really love the feel of it. Totally other topic, but did you guys ever decide about staying in Athens?

Awwww.

So, you'll come up tonight? I may have to be at work late, because my job is comically stupid sometimes.
