I'm a bit tired today. I suspect I'm fighting a bit of a bug, but I'll survive it. Ha!

I've been ignoring some of my pile of work (sigh) and just playing about online. I even did some minor artistic things. Ha!

If anyone's interested, I put my hand to a small 'book-ish' blend (find it here).

I created it for Evamaria's shirasade reading rec project -- before I realized she'd already done a layout of her own! (Yes, I certainly should have checked first, shouldn't I? But regardless, it was fun to do...)

I did an actual tutorial for both psp7_beginners and psp8_fun on creating patterns. (My first tutorial that wasn't work-related in nature. Ha!)

I made a couple of icons to fulfill requests and have basically gone about reading and commenting here and there.

May I just mention how much I enjoy all my online friends? So true...

Well, I might go home for lunch and see the little one!

Her new word is something that sounds vaguely like 'ki-ki' and actually means 'cheesecake.' We introduced her to the delights of cheesecake a couple of days ago. Now she's added it to her list of food requests...

"Daddy, iii queam?" (Well, it's hard to spell it the way it sounds. Ha! It means 'ice cream.') "Daddy, pee but bam?" (Kind of like that. 'Peanut butter and jam.') And now "Daddy, ki-ki?"

She had a tantrum (very small) this past weekend. She asked for 'pee but bam' and got it sans jam. She shoved her toast aside, quite put out.

Ryan ryan_beaches has us all trying to go low carb (which has been true for some months now). Even the cheesecake is a low carb variety. I think it's a delightful idea, really. Less sugar for the kids is never a bad idea. (Or for 'Daddy' for that matter. Ha!)

Well, I'm off. I'm trying to resist buying a new toy for Caitlin every time I see one. Ryan and I both feel she's a bit overwhelmed by all the toys she has as it is.

I got many kisses from 'Ginger Missy' (her small ginger-colored stuffed cat) last night. That always means she wants me to first kiss-kiss-kiss her kitty and then kiss-kiss-kiss her, too. So sweet.

Bleeding hell, I hope I don't give her any bugs. (More likely she's the one I got the bug from. Children her age are so notorious for carrying bugs...)

Have a good day, friends!
