Reflections from a PDA
In a little over a month, Lactina and I will part ways. The journey has been long and tiring, and I hope worthwhile.
Mother’s milk is supposed to boost a baby’s immune system. Poor little guy has another cold. And therefore, so do I.
The PDA. Christmas 2004. The last of the big splurges before the baby came. A cry to order and organization. Fast forward to December 2005. I barely know how to use it. The money was not well spent.

December challenge: reflective surface

Reflections from the kitchen.

Living on the edge. Is there anybody out there A face, distorted, on a waste can. A wasteland. There is a ghost in the faucet. A shadow of a person. A shapeshifter. It’s not the real her. Or is it Living on the edge. Resting on a thin sharp line. Hoping not to get hurt.

I like the things one can do with graphics software. This is a paintbrush effect. Boo is snuggled against me in a mei tai wrap, also called an Asian Baby Carrier (ABC), which I made using this pattern and some gorgeous blue batik fabric. I love batiks!

My dear friend Pea Soup participates in Self Portrait Tuesdays. I think this is a blogworld tradition, but as I am new to blogging, I’m not very certain. I have precious few shots of me and my Buggaboo, mostly because I’m always holding him and taking pictures of him. This was a very difficult pose, holding my camera up and taking a picture of our reflection in a mirror that is propped in my office. Sort of reminds me of the Statue of Liberty. Bring me your huddled masses, yearning to breathe free. We spend alot of time here, and I put the mirror there for his fun and enjoyment. He recognized me in the reflection and looked at my reflection intently, then tilted his head back to look up at me, with a puzzled look on his face, then back at the reflection! He kept doing this, wondering, why are there two mamas ! He’s SOOOOO darn CUUUUUUUUTE!!!
