As you all see, I have had too much time at home lately. :) Jay working late nights, Sienna sleeping, I'm too sick/tired to do much, computer is on... You get the picture. :) I'm seriously thinking about doing most of my Christmas shopping online this year. I really don't enjoy shopping that much (a bit here and there is ok but none of that running from store to store during Christmas rush kind of stuff for me, thank you very much) so why not. Lots of fun stuff out there. I'm not buying it all (well, duh) but I always enjoy a good "what's new out there". Hope you do too.

Most of the above stuff is from Bibelot: www.bibelotshops.com

Eilen kun kaytiin syomassa fast foodia, niin karpanen lensi Siennan viereen ja voi etta Sienna pelastyi. Siennan ahdistukset tulee aina tuollaisissa jutuissa selvasti ilmi. Vaikka kuinka yritin reippaasti jutella etta "ai kun ihana, tuo karpanen tuli sanomaan meille hei.. kato nyt se lentaa tuolla kaikille niita moikkaamaan..." niin silti Sienna oli selvasti peloissaan otokasta. Tasta sitten seurasi tosi huonosti nukuttu yo. Siennalla oli painajaisia ja herasi monen monta kertaa. Itkusteli ja sanoi "ladybug" (kutsuu joskus kaikkia otokoita leppiksiksi) ja piti halailla monta kertaa ja muistuttaa etta Mr Murphy (Siennan yopehmoapina) on sangyssa halailemassa myos. Voi meidan pikku raukkaa. Heti kun tulen parempaan kuntoon niin vien Siennan uudestaan homeopaatille. En tieda oliko se eka remedy oikea kun ei auttanut. Mulla on viela toivoa homeopatian suhteen. Jos jokin auttaa Siennan ahdistusta niin se toivottavasti. Western medicine ei tee mitaan asian puolesta.
