Flickr Bickr

I'm moving my pics to Flickr, after being convinced by my friend Sundry last week when she and Mrs. Breedorf came over for a playdate. It was a really successful one - no meltdowns at all! And Theo and Riley found a new use for Charlie's toy box:

Sorry, Mr. Breedorf, but I've giving up Gallery. My simple mind cannot hold all that is required to manage a Gallery. I'm but a simple girl.

So I talked to Gayle King the other day. Gayle "Oprah's best friend" King. I have spoken to Gayle before, so I feel pretty comfortable labeling myself as Oprah's best friend's best friend. This time, though, Gayle called me. It's a real give-and-take relationship we have.

She called to see what I was up to - we talked about crazy Britney a bit. Then I told her about my awesome boss Peggy. My awesome boss who, after she heard about my latest miscarriage, which I learned on the same day Oprah aired Gayle and her visit to Miraval Spa in Arizona, Peggy booked us a trip to Miraval. Gayle was FLOORED. She insisted she break her own rule about mentioning names of companies and asked me to state for all to hear the name of Peggy's company (Lone Buffalo) and where it's located (Ann Arbor, MI) and gave her a huge shout out, telling her she loved her and she rocked.

Peggy listened to it the next day and cried. She got multiple emails from strangers giving her a shout out. It was cool.

Lots more has happened. We sold out house!!! In the worst market in 20 years, we sold our house! The funding just needs to go through, but our buyer is preapproved so hopefully there will be no issues.

We're looking for a house down in San Diego. I'll post pics - and I promise I won't say "This is our final move" ever, ever again.

Check out my adorable kid:

Look, Ma - a perfect fit!

Watch how fun it is to close the door really really fast!





Whoops! Pinched my finger!




(Note that I decide to take a picture of his agony rather than drop the camera and rush to his aid. Mother of the year!)
