Photag!

Many thanks to Katherine at Just Lovely for the photographic tag! The rules: open your first photo folder, find the 10th picture, post that picture with the corresponding story, and tag five others. My madre snapped this photograph of me at The National Zoo in Washington, D.C. last summer. I still love the zoo as much today as I did at 5 years old! I tag: One Flew Over the Henn's Nest, Murphy's (New) Law, Life In Fun Size, Such a Loverly Life, and Tripping Down the Aisle. Get photogenic! Xoxo-BLC

Race day! Mommatella and I laced up and booked it 3.1 miles to finish our first 5k together. Shall we say the first of many 5k's together!? I hope so!! I am proud of my hip madre for going the distance!! Xoxo-BLC

Civil (Dis)Obedience

The Hens' neighbor neglected a phonebook on their roof for months. Talk about an eye sore!

So when we swung by the Hens and they weren't there to play, we decided to play a practical joke ... their roof needed a phonebook too, right!?

We were caught red-handed. Oh well! We love you three!!! Xoxo-BLC

More the Merrier

At TCSK, everyone is welcome. The more the merrier! I apologize for momentarily privatizing my blog and have no intention of controlling who stops by for a visit. In all fairness, you should know I use Google Analytics, the big brother of the blog world. I had a slight panic and then realized, what the hay! So come one, come all! Xoxo-BLC

Roll Call

Phew! I just added blog rolls and oh la la what fun. The categories are ... Keeping Company With (real life friends with blogs), Lilly Lovers With, Talking Legalese With, Wearing It Well With, and Chit Chatting With.

If you where mistakenly left off or want to be in a different category, let me know and I will be happy as a clam to amend. Cheerio for now! Xoxo-BLC

The Rolling Stones

What do you get when you cross Rolling Stone with Elsa Peretti's bean pendant? A kidney stone. Boo hiss! My doctor is a fan of the "wait and see" approach. And she wonders why I have white coat effect. Ick!!! Now I am officially tough enough to roll with the STONES. Call me Mick! Xoxo-BLC
