No words.

I mean I love it.

Lil' Wayne, Jay-Z, T.I., Kanye & a very pregnant MIA at the Grammy's.

I don't think I have ever seen Lil Wayne smile before.

Totes hella totin'

Last night I invited a bunch of friends over to draw all over a drop cloth. This cloth will be cut up and made into tote bags for all the lovelies that participated.

It was super fun.

And not a penis in sight until the last 5 minutes of drawing. Then there were like 12.

Thanks JFP.

My favorite highlights are:

-the things leah ate.
-the ballerina on the reindeer on a chair.
-the quadratic equation
-dale's crush folder
-jess's letter
-M.A.S.H
-rollerskates & knee pads.

Thank you all it was too fun.

Dear Maggie!

Once more with great pleasure I embrace a few moments to write you a short letter. I wrote to you a short time since and shortly after I started mine I received a very kind letter from you. It seems that all our letters pass each other on the road. "speck" they say "How do you do" or make use of some familiar phrase.

Wish the writers could meet as often as their letters do. strange wish, "ain't" it. and not very strange neither. You know we can't refrain from wishing, but I wish that our wishes could come to pass. Oh! Maggie! I have written so often to you that I expect you are getting wearied reading my disinterested letters. but let me assure you it is not so with me. Your letters are received by me with the greatest pleasure, and a beating heart always waits a reply. I have written a good many letters to other girls. Letters of friendship, but those I write to you. I want you to receive them for more than mere friendship. For let me say that your memory is ever dear to me and if we never again meet on Earth I shall ever Cherish the fond remembrance of Thee, and think of the pleasant hours passed in your society, but let me indulge the hope that we may again meet ere long.

I cannot yet see much sign of the war Closing but I always try to hope for the Best.

I suppose You was a thousand times glad to welcome the returns of your soldier Brothers.

Well goodbye Dear Maggie hoping to hear from you soon.

I am every Yours
sincerely
Henry
farewell oh no it cannot be
Direct as before

Proper Place Setting

I looked these up in my Emily Post book last night for a dinner party.

There is nothing more beautiful to me...

Valentine

I love these woodland creature Valentines from Delphine Studio.

I think the perforated cards are what sealed the deal.

They remind me of the boxed variety from elementary school.

Good god. I would die happy if I looked half as good as this woman at 51.

I have had this page open for the past week and keep glancing at it.

Yep. Die happy.

Abstract City

The 2nd cutest thing I ever did see.

I think it was the bit about how his mind wanders while playing with his children's toys.
