Pipe dreams

Things that I want but that do not exist:

A squirrel print leotard.

Well, that's it actually, just one thing, a leotard with squirrels on it. Or even spandex with squirrels on it and then I can make my own (not likely)... It's hard enough to find any fabric with squirrels on it, and I'm talking real looking squirels here, none of this cartoon, cute, little kid stuff.

Although I found this guy.. he'd look pretty awesome on a leotard.

"Hello there, I am Mr. Squirrel and I am quite professional. Yes I am."

This one is more like what I'm talking about though. Without the nut, of course.

who's a professional?

it might not look like much but that is progress. i am a taker of action. i even showered and slept less than twelve hours today. i am the winner when no one else is around. (if you were wondering, this just took a little common sense and some plastic.)

I get messages on my phone

So every once in a while my dad will leave me a gem of a message that I decide is too good to erase. Here is one that he left me while we were on vacation.

more shuttlecock!

p.s. it's a lamp.
when it stops raining, we'll go outside and play.
