My friend makes jewelry. She made a custom nursing necklace for Charlotte. Her LJ is here:

<lj user=diamondseeds>

Her store is here:

Here is the Charlotte necklace:

She mostly does seed beads but she will do custom orders. She is donating part of her sales $ to Launchpad, which provides transitional housing for foster and at risk (of homelessness)  youth. Lauchpad ROCKS. Seriously, it's one of the best social services ever. It has really helped some people that I know.

Dear Diary,

We got our economic stimulus package and it's OMG sooooo cute! I think it likes meeeee. I'm going to see if it calls me this weekend. It said we should get stuff together like maybe a Wii or a computer for Brian. I think we should wait until Christmas for the Wii. I don't want to blow it by going too fast. OMG!

I think we're going to Fry's Electronics this weekend. I so totally love/hate that place. I need a new keyboard. I had to take the keyboard from Tenzin's computer. I liked my blue keyboard but it was acting all crazy and adding random characters and opening windows and stuff. I want to get:
Keyboard
headphones- phone and for tenzin
?desktop computer?
?Portable video player or mp3 player?

I wonder what the theme of the Wilsonville Fry's is.

OMG I was, like, so sick this week.  I, like, totally was like hurling.

That's all for now!

Diamond: Move up here. I miss you.

Tenzin says "Mommy, it's too hot in this house."

I have "sense of impending doom" which is a sort of fear/angst that sometimes visits me. It's not too bad this time.

Charlotte is super cheerful lately. She has all my good mood, but her good mood can help me snap out of it.

I should go swimming.

We're back in pdx metro and I'm fairly tired. Yesterday on the way back from Hum we went to the Enchanted Forest in Salem. Tenzin liked it. I'm too lazy to hyperlink to it.

We listened to David Sedaris on the way down (library book on tape) and Little Brothers (?) on the way back via Brian's work ipop.

Charlotte is showing signs of walking soon.

The house is messier that I thought it'd be when we got back. Oops.

I need to ... sorry, interrupted by a wardrobe change for Charlotte. What was I talking about? Who knows.

Yay!

I had a migraine so bad I pooked, and I slept all day yesterday. I mostly feel better today.

Ryan is making us pasta shells with white sauce.

I hurt my foot by stepping on a water faucet. It's pretty bad. I'd take a photo but it's just gross and I don't like to indulge the weird fetishists, sorry/

We're going to visit Humboldt/CA for a few days.
Happy Canada Day

I read back 260 entries on my friends page (and STILL didn't quite get caught up) and I decided to do this book thing that [info]nicked posted.

Hey- people of my flist, I have a question for you that you should ignore if you don't like having people couch surf into your home. I love to travel and I love to stay with people I've never met in person. Do you feel like hosting me and </lj>[info]vajrabot  and [info]victortenzin  and [info]charlotelucinda ? If you really think you could handle that if it were timed right, let me know. I'm not even sure where all of you live, and the thought of the four of us staying with you might strike TERROR into your heart. I wouldn't take that personally. I'm specifically thinking of trying to go to these places at some point in the mists of future time: Australia, New Zealand, Normandy (France), Great Britain. I'm planning somewhat sooner trips to: Seattle, Sacramento. Oh-but bad news. The August trip to Sacramento was cancelled due to Brian's promotion and heat and lack of $.

And... lj cut ( Read more... )

So it looks like I've read about 38 of them.
I doubt this list is serious; for one thing it's flawed and has books listed separately that are part of series otherwise listed.

We've been house-sitting in Forest Grove and I haven't been on the interweb 24/7 for the past week.

I say good day.

We're going into Portland today. Peter and Sara Lou live over there and we're all going swimming. We're about to leave- today is Free RPG day so we're going to go around to some game stores to see if they are participating.

I can't find my cell phone for the last week. It's got a California number anyway. I feel so disorganized today. Merrr.

I didn't end up going anywhere all week because I had a migraine on Monday, Tuesday, and Wed.

Brian just got a promotion at work and now he works in Forest Grove. It's put me in a bit of a weird mental state because I feel like we just got settled in Hillsboro and started making friends.

I'm having a poor mental health day, I don't know why I let myself get so stressed when I should be happy. I will try to grab myself by the scruff of the neck and shake this mood.

Meh. I think these things are stupid but I'm bored.

The name johari is particularly annoying. I learned about these things in an undergrad major required class that I hated. The class was called "Interpersonal Communication." Blah.

Tenzin has taught himself to read. I read Frog and Toad books to him and he asks what the words are and now he helps. He knows: no, on, it, not, said Frog, Frog, said Toad, Toad, is, and some other words. Charlotte is clawing me and whining. She still has no teeth.

Diammmmoooonnnndddddd.... do you have a new phone number? Argh.

I can't concentrate with Charlotte whining at me. It's such a hideous sound.
We've been watching Ashes to Ashes, the sequel to Life on Mars.

Brian is nice. But you knew that.
