I’ll just have a diet coke, thanks.

One evening back in August while up in Seattle for Quinn’s triathlon, the subject of Clamato came up. Quinn and I both started expressing our disgust over the existence of this atrocity of a beverage, but Lindsey didn’t know what it was. Quinn starts explaining: “Clamato is a drink made from clams and tomatoes. You know, kind of like how Orangina is made from oranges and vaginas.”

Still funny.

Fun day of fun gifts

Lindsey was in town for work this week, and we got together to eat and chat. She came bearing loads and loads of gifts from her and Quinn, for both me and Holland. We had them spread out all over our table at Red Star, and there was lots of squealing, as tends to happen when girls look at baby stuff. After a particularly crappy week, it was really nice to have such a fun afternoon. It did make me wish that they lived closer though. Sad face. Anyway, I took some pictures of all my fun new stuff last night. Enjoy!

Oh boy, do I loooove Shabby Chic. New bedding! Lindsey brought me a duvet cover, new pillowcases, new sheets (you can’t see but matching the striped pillowcases) and that pretty little flower print pillow (with an extra cover in case I want to switch patterns).

Basil, Manatee and the Other Bunna enjoying the new bedding:

Basil still has his eye on one of his invisible ceiling bugs.

Baby stuff!!

Crib sheets, changing pad cover, bibs, towel, burp cloths (to go with the bibs and blanket she sent in December). Basil was helping me take off the tags.

 Baby Pajamas!

 And some darling tennis and bunny stuff from Quinn. The bunny is a rattle. TOO CUTE.
