Sleeping Beauty

I have a hilarious daughter, even in her sleep.


It began at an early age. When she's sleepy, there is just no stopping her.

She grew out of her highchair, and the laundry basket became a favorite sleepy time spot.
Our issue was, girl WOULD NOT sleep in her bed, and when she got tired of sleeping on the floor, she found a whole new array of places to sleep.



And then she got really good at sleeping in her bed, but didn't grow out of her "sleeping in inappropriate places" fetish.

She had BARELY enough space to even fit here, let alone balance and snooze. This represents about a 3 1/2 foot fall. Risky business.


And this is the aftermath. She is entirely asleep, angry that I moved her from her oh-so-comfy kitchen counter top!



And her most recent exploit. 4 and finally toilet trained, but not sleep-in-your-bed-and-not-the-toilet trained.


And we never know what's coming next. Better not let her drive til she grows out of this one!

What I Did During Finals Week

I've finished the enormous coffee table that is really more like two storage benches pushed together.

Proof that I did it myself:



You narrowly miss a fantastic view of my bumcrack (lucky you).


The top, I've used giant gate hinges I fell in love with.

Shows it's in two pieces.



It's finished in brown mahogany, with a satin clear coat.


And it opens!
