Sometimes it does hurt to ask

"Does that come in blue?" --- Doesn't hurt



"When's the baby due?" --- Hurts


Not that this has happened to me... I'm just sayin, is all.

I've discovered instagram.

Today's been a good day.  Several things have happened to make it so..

-I happened to decide to take video when I went in to pick Piper up from her nap. She had been happily laying there talking to herself and I wanted to get it on video... Instead I got video of her waving hey to me. It was a true christmas miracle. She's been "waving" the last few days, but we weren't sure if she knew what she was doing. This morning it was very obviously on purpose.  And I got it on video.   Score one for, Bevin.

-While we were riding to get lunch I said "Piper, can you say hey?" and she started waving again.

I nearly wrecked.

She has since learned that not only is waving hello great fun, but it also gets people to stop and say hello.

This part does not thrill me.

I'm really not as anti-social as I make myself seem on here.  It's just hard to get stuff done when every few minutes someone new wants to come talk for 10 minutes.  

...Also most people are close talkers and have horrible breath...

-While at target returning a shirt I got in an arguement with a lady. It doesn't matter whether I was right or not. ..simply that I, a timid Drinkwater, actually stood up for myself and won.

I was right by the way and the other lady made a complete butt of herself in front of several others who knew I was right.

I love being right.

-Finally I made a new friend today. Everyone, meet Joj.

I have nothing to say anymore.

So when I was in high school I took an art class as my elective. I did it because the alternative was band or gym. I don't do physical activities and, at the time, band seemed like a certain death.   So art it was.

The nice teacher was very supportive of my abilities. I think she thought I had a gift. Anytime we'd finish a project she'd display them on the walls for a few weeks. Mine always ended up in the back...kinda hidden. 

Cause she didn't want mine to show everybody else's up. I just know that's what it was.

One time, a kid in elementary saw my "painting" and they asked if another kid in their class had done it.

He was in like the third grade.

Side note - my iPad autocorrects misspelled words and sometimes I don't catch it. It just made my misspelled third into turd. If you ever see something like that, that's what happened.
.....For I would never use such language.

So anyway, tonight when we decorated sugar cookies, I drew on all my previous art class experiences to bring you the following masterpiece.




..Nailed it.
