In the throes of tantrum city, Hayley ripped the foot off of “Cheep-Cheep”, a little stuffed knit duck that was actually meant to be an Easter decoration but to which she has formed an odd and spontaneous attachment over the past few days. I just sewed it back on. A seamstress I am not (you should see me trying to thread a frickin’ needle), so it’s not an beautiful job but the foot is back on and Cheep-Cheep is waiting on the kitchen counter for her tomorrow morning.

In the meantime, I love this Snape and Dumbledore layout more than I should admit, just because I love the expression on Snape’s face. If you really hate it though, you’ll be thrilled to know that I’m using the themeswitcher so you can go ahead and pick something else, you Harry Potter hater.

I still have to fix a lot of things in the sidebar for each theme but I’ll try to get to that tonight. Woo.

You don’t need to be logged in to comment but that may change in the future so it’s probably a good idea to go ahead and register and log yourself in now if you have a second.
