Pictures and My Obsessions

I found my camera the other day--in my knitting bag. Sigh. My knitting is like some sort of gnome that steals and hides stuff. Most of the time if I am missing something and I find it--I find it in with my knitting.

Of course I found it after Mic's birthday and L.'s wedding. I just developed the film I took over Christmas and for Mic's birthday.

The Thomas the Tank Engine Cake I made. Inside it's chocolate, blue and yellow cake (what Mic wanted) and I iced it all by myself. It's actually the first cake I decorated totally by myself. I think it looks pretty accurate to the sketch I made.

Here's Micci playing hot potato with his party guests. It's sadly the only picture that came out showing the people at the party.

Lorelei eating crckers waiting for the party to start.

Micci insisted that he wear the birthday crown and the party hat. This was before the hair cut--which he thanksfully got a few days before L.'s wedding.

This was NOT Mic's birthday, but a pic from Christmas. It took me ages to clean up after Christmas.

On to other things...I finished up the last Harry Potter book last night--well the last published. I cried so hard. Mind you I have read this book 4 times...and I still cry like a baby at the end. Actually I cried twice. As Jamey handed me a tissue, he said, "It's just a story--it's not real." Yeah, but J.K. Rowling is a terrific writer. It's roughly 145 days till the seventh and last harry Potter book comes out. (I am tempted to put a count down banner up...really really tempted) I can barely stand the wait. I spend my days reading The Leaky Cauldron forums and essays. I want to start knitting something Harry Potterish as a count down to the book and movie...yip yip. Which gives me a real fun idea...I could make tons a wee hats in honor of S.P.E.W. and donate them to hospitals for infants. Hmmm--that is a neat idea.

It didn't fit right into my story yesterday, but we also bought Micci a computer last night. A refurbished tower for $139--we already have monitor, keyboard and mouse already...Mic was so excited. So am I--no fighting over computer time! Mic was confused however, because he kept trying to find the screen on the tower. My computer is a Gateway Profile (a flat screen with a computer inside) and Jamey's computer is a laptop--so neither of us have working towers.

We may still end up fighting over internet time. We aren't, for now, setting his computer up to the 'net--so there might come a time when he wants to go to nickjr or noggin. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
