Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful. --William Morris

We Only Need One Box Full of Legos

If it doesn't fit in the green box (okay, okay, plus one more box that is not shown), then we don't need it.

Life is too short to own too many Legos.

Still in Its Packaging

This was a great gag gift that I really loved. Writers really should come as action figures. I even liked the packaging, which is part of the reason why I never opened it.

But it's time for this to bless someone else's home. I found an interested buyer on the local buy/sell/trade forum. She now has a perfect Christmas gift for someone, and I am $10 richer.

If It Doesn't Fit Like It Used To

I bought this sweater at an LL Bean outlet in Maine while J and I were on our honeymoon. (It was August and I had packed no warm clothes. Silly me.)

This is how it looked on me two babies ago. Now it's a little less flattering. (Note: wearing a sweater while pregnant is a good way to stretch out a sweater. And I'm going to claim that's the real reason it looks less flattering. The sweater stretched. That seems plausible.)

In any case, it's a nice warm sweater, and it can bless someone else now.
