Laowai

I had a really nice weekend thanks to Brian. On Saturday morning he gave me a much needed break from the munchkin. They went for a nice long walk and I think to the bookstore too. I was able to get out some art supplies have some creative time to myself. I started on a project I’ve been contemplating for a long time – making calendars for Christmas gifts. On Sunday we went to an interesting exhibit about Alfred Hitchcock at a nearby museum. There were lots of great sketches by set designers. We walked along the lake on our way back and it felt like the most beautiful quiet August day.

Do you love Target like I love Target? Here’s an interesting tidbit I read about sale items (via curbly.com)

“The story goes that, at Target, full prices end in 9. You know the drill, $19.99, $14.99. Every time Target discounts an item, the final digit of the price drops. For instance, that candle you’ve been coveting has dropped to $8.48. The lowest the final digit will go is 4. So, if you see something you want and the price ends in 4, buy it. You won’t get it for less.”

I haven’t been posting many Bea related items lately so here are a couple photos for her fans.

Lately she will sit in a laundry basket and play by herself while I do things around the house. I don’t think this will last too long but I’ve been taking advantage of it while I can and she is so cute in the baskets.

Here she is brushing her three teeth:
