~ this week, with the blinds closed to keep out the heat, the houseplant in the window grew by about four inches. apparently we all crave our time away from the direct light.

~ 15-minute photoshoots with emma, when we’re both enjoying the process and goofing around and no one’s withholding eye contact, are my favorite zen-restorers. this is the kind of quality time that makes me smile all day.

~ a friend of mine has a callback interview for a reality-tv show today.

~ i do not like the colors purple and orange together.

~ the doctor says i’m low on vitamin B12. is that an energy-boosting one?

~ i absolutely love this twirling tooth-fairy link (thanks EB!); it reminds me how easy and fun it is to create magic and fun in the everyday. we need a little more magic around here (and i’m not inclined to wait for lost teeth).
