Ceiling Pictures

Well, the second one is very blurry.
Taking pictures in a mirrored ceiling is not easy. But, as I told Flail, it is the essence of us.

Also, because I do not want to express bias in either way, please take the following poll (closes Tuesday at 8PM EST.

Jackarooney


Jackarooney, originally uploaded by feathermar.

This is Jack. This is an old picture of Jack, really. He is my sister and brother-in-law's dog. And sometimes, he is my dog. He is gi-normous! Also, he is one of those beings that cheers me up when I am at my saddest.
I am a mopey-mo. I'm sick again, even though I was just sick, and it stinks. I'm a Stinky McLoserpants, and cannot help but mopey-mo all over the place. Bad fake allergies. Bad back. Bad saddies. It's the worst (except, really, in the scheme of the world, it's not so bad).

In the words of Sean Meagher: "Gar!"

Miss Mady is Here!
IMG_5006
and I've got a brand new baby to love!
Oh, babies! They are superfun when they are other peoples! And, they are superfun when they belong to Annmarie and Roly Boyon, two wonderful people who have already become wonderful parents. Gail and I met this munchkin today. She's bigger than she was, but she's still pretty tiny. Seven pounds and change...let me tell you, no one ever remembers how tiny babies start out...but they are tiny!
Here's Mady and her mama getting the gas out:

(I, of course, mean the baby's gas)
Here is proud papa:

Gail with that baby:

Hey, does that baby look bored? Hmm, give her to me! She'll perk right up!
IMG_5007
Just kidding, Gail! well, sort of...
Anyhoo, this little Mady has already got a slew of people wrapped around her tiny fingers. Some of you may know that I called her White Chocolate in the womb, so I made her a superhero onesie with the infamous:

Gail also took this wonderful picture of Mady squishing up her face:

I will leave you with that bit of adorableness! Congrats, Ams and Rol! You did it! She's beautiful! And already very smart!

As you can see, Gail was responsible for Rainbow Shirt Number One, an Iron-On Transfer design. That T-shirt received 62 out of 151 votes, 41.1 % of the votes. I made Rainbow Shirt Two, which was hand embroidered. I received 89 out of 151 votes, which was 58.9 % of the votes.
I will say, though I only voted once, there may have been some padding, so I cannot in good conscience, accept this victory.
We did present them to Carter today.

Which one won?

The Play-doh Fun Factory!

Yeah. Carter didn't really care. I guess she forgot about the rainbow t-shirt. She did, however, remember about the "trowing up". She was super cute. Gail and I got to decorate tiaras, while Grandpa and Uncle Joe received pens with feather plumes and heart-shaped sunglasses, respectively.

Also, there was some feather-boa-wearing.

And Pops took us to Friendly's for lunch, where I took what could possibly be the CUTEST PICTURE EVER!

IMG_4834

At the end of the day, we played a little play-doh, we saw a little dancing (Cass knows how to cut a rug), and then we went home:

Thank you for your votes. Since Gail and I both received tiaras today, along with feathers, you may picture us waving grateful and graceful waves to you from a balcony with long sparkly dresses.

You like me, you really really like me.

Here's the thing:
We've done it again! The Meagher girls are having a dispute, and getting everyone else involved!
Here's how it started: Carter puked on a rainbow shirt. I said I'd make her a new one a certain way, Gail said that was not a smart way, why didn't I make a rainbow shirt Gail's way? I said, "Why don't you make one your way?"(imagine it all with a lot snottier of tones). Gail said, "Maybe I will". And here it is: Meagher vs. Meagher. Or Meagher vs. Beyrer. I cannot reveal the ways of the shirts, as that would be giving away too much, Gail says.
So one of us made Rainbow Shirt Number One:
IMG_4710a
One of us made Rainbow Shirt Number Two:
IMG_4721
We have, supposedly, asked you to vote for whichever t-shirt makes you feel happiest inside. Whichever one is, in fact, better. Now, you could take this as: which one is better for Carter, which one is better for you (should you enjoy the occasional rainbow shirt), which one is the super-duper-est...it's pretty much up to you!
We just ask that you vote.

Now, this may not be as vicious as the old "fussbudget vs. fussbucket" argument, but it does involve rainbows...voting closes on Sunday at 11:00AM EST.

You Are Olive Green
You are the most real of all the green shades. You're always true to yourself.
For you, authenticity and honesty are very important... both in others and yourself.
You are grounded and secure. It takes a lot to shake you.
People see you as dependable, probably the most dependable person they know.

Flowers from my Flail


Flowers from my Sister, originally uploaded by feathermar.

This week I was very sick. Well, I guess it was last week actually, seeing as this is now Sunday. So, from Tuesday until yesterday, I didn't really get out of bed. Yesterday I missed a lot of fun things, including the awesome Wii Baby Shower of our forthcoming baby White Chocolate. For that I am very sad.

My lovely sister Flail gave me these tiny parade roses in a tiny little tin. They are quite tiny, and she thinks I did not properly thank her, since I was without fever at the time we talked. So, here's to you, my Sweet Potato! I loveys you and your presents. Always!

oops i did it again

Gail and I disagree over what this picture says. She thinks it says "Don't tell, I'm swiping some icing." I think it says "I may vomit." Take from this what you will.

Granting Wishes with Carter

Seriously, a Nicey Nice Christmas

Saturday, December 22, 2007

Right now, I am sitting at work.

No one is coming to the library today, and by no one, I mean about twenty people in the past four hours.

I am thinking about:
The stools I have to varnish.
The scarf I have to knit.
The cake I have to make.
The gifts I have to wrap.

Maybe I just won't wrap the gifts...
Maybe they will just be unwrapped gifts.

On the other hand, painting these stools has made for many off-color jokes (as my sister's nephews would say "potty talk"). I have to check on my stools. I hope my stools aren't sticky. Should I be worried that my stools are green? This has been endless entertainment at home.
My sister bought giant decorations last year at Target. They look like the round ornaments you would put on the tree, just gigantic.
These are her Christmas balls. Do you think my balls should be in a cluster? I have re-hung my balls! How do my balls look? And believe it or not, she doesn't even do it on purpose...

On a sad note, I went entirely through Target last night, and filled a shopping cart. Then I left my cart at the end of an empty aisle so I could manuver through the over-populated CD section. And then. Someone TOOK MY CART. I almost cried. I would have to battle all over again. I was hungry. There were more people from before. I got the last one of a couple of items. Boo. Hiss. I said the words I never, ever thought I would utter about the greatest store in the world: "I hate this place." Yes, friends, for a moment, I hated what must be the most happy place in my heart--my special love, Target.

Merry Christmas

Thanksgiving!

We went and hung out with Rich, Cass and Carter for T-giving!
Carter and I ran and ran and ran around kicking the leaves. Cass makes SUPERIOR stuffing.

Excellent.

It is born of the earth.

Gail and I were discussing how we still eat it color by color, trying to discern the contrasting flavors (if they exist).

second place

So, Seanie gets Second place.
Second place?

Dude. Let me tell you. This picture is cute. There is no cuter picture on the face of the earth. Not now, not ever.
More eloquent? Maybe.
Sweeter? No way, Jose.

Scarf in Progress


Scarf in Progress, originally uploaded by feathermar.

Burnsie's scarf. Looks a little uneven, but that is, in fact, part of it's charm. Actually, it's handspun wool, which is thick and then thin and then thick again. Blech. I no likey. But I didn't pick it out, Burnsie did. So she'll have to live with it.

Knit -a-rific!


Knit purse, originally uploaded by feathermar.

Well, kids, get your jealous hats on!
I have knit myself a purse! Could it be a knurse? Or a yurse (yarn purse)? I do not know what the name will be, but I do know that it's the cutest darn thing I ever did see.

and I made it.
Take your hats off now. They're making your head sweat.

Seanie and Loch


Seanie and loch, originally uploaded by feathermar.

The top is Seanie, on his first time to Squam Lake. I watched him eat for half an hour, straight. When Bean started to pack up the food, Seanie started to pump his arms and say "Gar!" like a displeased pirate. He got one more cracker. Seanie's favorite thing was to eat--the cheese, the crackers, the lake bottom--it didn't much matter.
Below is Loch, at Squam Lake for the first time a couple of years ago. He was younger than Seanie at the time, so though he did enjoy playing in the water, he pretty much sat and then fell asleep.

One thing in common? Chubby arms.

Gummy in the spotlight


Gummy in the spotlight., originally uploaded by feathermar.

Shannon wants some pictures of orange things to put in her brand new room in her brand new apartment. So, I get to find things that are orange and take pictures of them. It's been super fun for me.
This may be a gummy orgy, but I perfer to think of them as performing modern dance.
