questions/submissions

10 things i have asked myself today.

10. if i was to truly buy a car during the holidays does it come with a ginormous red bow on the top? can you buy that separate? or are they strictly for commercials? hmmmm.....i submit they should be included. and then i submit i should purchase a car in december.

9. can mariah carey give us a horrible christmas song? i submit not. here and here. so jazzy. and so easy to rock out to while making dinner. nova agrees. dan does not. but i like this song even better. sorry mariah.

8. why is mariah carey married to that guy that hosts americas got talent? i submit i don't understand. don't worry, i only thought of this for a moment.

7. is it obsessive compulsive to know how long i have to wait for the next green light at every light on the way to go get dan at the train? i submit it is--but only slightly.

6. is it strange to try to get my blinker to coordinate with the blinker in front of me while waiting for a green light? (clearly i am enjoying the california traffic.)

5. is it wierd that in this month called december i have not stepped foot in a department store? i submit that at some point in the next week i definitely will.

4. is nova ahead or behind the trend of wearing her headband like a hippie? i submit she is a tad behind, but could potentially bring it back with her sweetness.

3. could it be possible that i have mastered the chicken pot pie? i submit that i have, but am hesitant to declare myself marie calender.....yet.

2. what is the big deal with quinoa and couscous? the submission is still up in the air at this point. but i do submit i thoroughly enjoyed giving them a try.

1. will we ever get our christmas music video done? i submit that we will.

and for the grandmas who are less concerned about my random thoughts and more concerned about: WHY AREN'T YOU BLOGGING EVERYDAY????? WITH PICTURES OF NOVA????
this is for you.

nova with her representation of who-ville out of pie crust. (don't worry, i didn't actually use that pie crust after she had so lovingly worked with it.)nova and her mask she made. complete with hair accessories.
and nova and myself after she did my hair. i'm tellin ya, the headband hippie look is a good one. nova is totally stuck on it right now.





feet in the sand in december. we quite like it.


nova and mr. claus. (please note the hippie headband.) she loved him and was so excited she nearly lost control of her bladder. almost. luckily her good friend hazel saved her place in line. phew. nova and hazel at the san fransisco zoo. they had such a blast. they had more fun playing on the hippo statue, the staircase and the water fountain than actually looking at the animals, but they had a good time nonetheless. all the way home nova kept saying, "that was really fun huh mom."

we also attended a representation of bethlehem with our friends the stokers. it was crazy! they had roman soldiers, sand on the ground, booths set up to die fabric, make bracelets, taste wine, (skipped that one....) and they acted out the story. nova loved it. thanks for the invite stokers. they even had an angel come out of the top of a building singing. the angel.
and nova bundled up on the way over. it actually does in fact get a little chilly here people. a little. our blood is thinning but i will never admit that again.

Such incredibly cute pictures! I love the mask. And the tutu at the zoo. You've been doing some fun things.

love it. my parents bought a car in december and they didn't get a red bow. They ended up buying one at the store to put on it. maybe some dealerships do. I love timing the green lights, I do the same thing with the light by my house.
