The bunny

We got a Christmas bunny! Her name is Lucy, and she lives quite happily in Katie's room. The cats couldn't care less, but ooh, boy, is the dog curious! She doesn't understand why we won't let her play with her new toy! I've been reading about bunny joy, and it seems we have a lot to look forward to. Apparently, when they're happy, they flop to their side and close their eyes. Looks like death, but is really happiness! They also do a dance that sounds like it may resemble Elaine's technique (from Seinfeld). This should prove to be amusing. So now I am feeling like Farmer Amy, where every morning starts with feeding the livestock, cleaning cages, and gazing over my acreage. I really should invest in some overalls. (But only if they're REALLY cute and maybe embroidered along the cuffs, and can be worn with sling-backs.)

Forgetting about Housework

Hello again. So last night I did my annual "sleep under the Christmas Tree." At least once an advent I like to sleep on the couch with all the Christmas lights on. Gets me in the spirit! Life is so hectic these days, the "spirit" escapes me often times. I hear this is commonplace, but I don't like to be common. In any case, last night I made Katie-kins a new dress! It's so sweet, but dang, the girl is tall. It's supposed to reach mid-calf, and although she's only 5, I put a size 6 bodice and a size 7 skirt. STILL, it only goes past her knees! She's all leg, this girl. I'll post a photo eventually. So I play all the time and have decided that housework is highly overrated. It just doesn't hold my attention like sewing or reading or talking with friends or playing with children do!
