Riot and Frolic

– actual labor.  Well, sort of.  

I'm 42 weeks pregnant (hello, 10 and a half months!), so I'm in the process of being induced.  So, I'm chillin' with some monitors and doing some crochet.  Also watching, simutaneously, Wanted with James McAvoy and She's the Man with Amanda Bynes.  Such a great combo!

James McAvoy is amazing.  I didn't know he was Scottish until I saw him in an interview and I couldn't understand a word he was saying.  Totally thought he was American or even English until then.  Love him.

– a very happy birthday girl.  She fell asleep at the table eating dinner and I couldn't resist her curled-up, dirty, little toes.

– one birthday party.  Three melons, one melon-baller.  One plate full of delicious caprese salad skewers.  With proscuitto.  And tortellini.  I'm just sayin'.  I did pretty well throwing together a party I didn't think I would be at.  

– a blue birthday cake.  In the store, we ask V, "What kind of cake do you want- chocolate, white, or yellow?"  "I want blue."  Of course.  Good choice.  Enter food coloring.  I was a little sad since the G actually made the cake and got to do the food coloring, but the end result reminded me of the Cookie Monster for some reason, so I was happy.  V loved it.  

– lots of new patterns in crochet to while away the hours.  

– a few fluffy hair pieces.  V actually let me take her picture! 

– a challenge.  Check out the link and vote for #37 "Headgear for Pregnant Ladies."
