The Girl Who Thinks She’s A Bird made her signature cake. I painted. And I’ve been sick for the last few days: bone aching, mucus filled, head feels like it’s going to explode, I have the chills kinda sick.

The Handsome Husband made mini burgers for Sunday dinner. I ate two of them. Monkey Boy ate 4. Got some free coupon crack in the mail. And made some spicy chicken stir fry. And drank tea from a “coffee” cup. I made another 250 cookies. And dreamed about a Bee Haus. Yep, it’s been a Read More >>
