Hey Alibelle!
Congratulations, Anne!
 Hec and other hairstyle people, I need your expertise! You've seen the V8 commercials with Jackie Chan? The one with the woman walking down the street, and Jackie does a move with a random baby stroller? I think I want her haircut. What do I tell a stylist to get that cut? 
This commercial at 0.33 seconds?
	
 
		
		
 Rubber mallets are a fantastic wedding idea.
And housewarming!  Not so sure about baby showers, though...  Would be a hit with a two year old!
	
 
		
		
The last wedding present I gave someone was a gravy boat. It was on her registry, and I wanted to tell my grandkids one day that I had purchased one. It felt very old-timey and historical. And then, because it was like fifteen bucks, I also gave cash.
I just vanity searched my name for the last few natters, and so I'd like to respond to some comments that are about 3 years out of date:
1) Princesses ARE cool. Full stop.
2) I do not remember asking Scrappy why my office was shaking, but an earthquake does seem like a better reason than an air conditioner.
3) I respond to my real name and Alibelle equally in my real life. My mom almost always calls me Alibelle. Kat, weren't we going to go to lunch sometime? I still have presents to give you.
4) I DID go to the Twilight Eclipse premiere AND I AM NOT ASHAMED. That movie is hilarious, and they had little bits of meadow in sandboxes at the party.  Also, a giant moon over the fake mountain covered in snow. I really wanted to lay down in one of the meadow boxes and quote poetry, but my dress was a little short so I opted not to. Worth it.
5) ita, is your sister still in the UK? I'm visiting again and would love to see her.  You too, actually. But I am totally happy seeing you in LA, if you don't want to go to the UK. I'm generous like that. 
Seriously, I really did miss you guys.  Virtual hugs for all!

Matilda totally agrees with you.
	
 
		
		
I always knew Matilda was a bright sort of princess.
	
 
		
		
Oh, Anne, congrats!  You deserve it!
Alibelle!  Hi!
	
 
		
		
 I always knew Matilda was a bright sort of princess.
She also makes an excellent Alice in Wonderland.
	
 
		
		
Matilda makes a truly excellent Alice. She looks so much like a tiny Mia W. in that picture.
Hi, Anne, Aims, Hil, Lee, Hec, Calli, Jesse, Liese!
