this and that...

• i spoke to my  cousin, kasey, on the phone the other day. it was the first time in easily 10 years. she sounds just like her mom.
• recent quote of the day: 'i accidentally kneed myself in the head!' matthew
• another recent quote of the day. 'why do you like that guy?' [matthew, speaking to me, referring this his father.]
• i'm ready to put up my christmas tree. i am listening to christmas music and watching elf instead. 
• listen to the song below to hear one of our family favorite songs from my childhood. when i listen to this song, i am upstairs in the house on camelia in meridian, dancing while the record plays on the giant stereo. i actually feel a little choked up, thinking about it. here is the link, in case you are reading this post by email.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOL0LyCloso

• i have started sewing again. i'm working on 4 quilts right now and a christmas project. the quilts are awesome, my project is super exciting and i have to say again that i love love love my new sewing machine that i've had for almost a year. i should throw him a party. and give him a better name than mr. bernina. i think roger.
• another quote of the day. 'mom! look! i'm growing teeth!' anna
• i think that's it!
