I still haven&#8217;t received a cost estimate from the vet, which means that I&#8217;m definitely not buying the sandals that I considered buying the other day. Until someone tells me otherwise, I&#8217;m going to assume that everything is sunshine and roses. That&#8217;s my story and I&#8217;m sticking to it.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-style: normal;\">I realized today that I am so far behind on posting photos, it borders on the ridiculous. One of the trips that I still need to edit and upload \u00a0occurred when a friend was newly pregnant. She has subsequently given birth, full term and everything. Basically, you could cook a baby (in your uterus please, not in my calphalon!) in better time than I can post-process.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-style: normal;\">I know that looking at vacation photos used to be considered a form of cruel and unusual punishment, but I choose to believe that you all wait anxiously and expectantly for me to bestow my photographic documentation on you. As far as delusions go, this one ranks somewhere between &#8220;I might win the lottery&#8221; and &#8220;I am the one and only Queen of Siam.&#8221;<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-style: normal;\">Please allow me to distract you from my procrastination and navel gazing with cute pictures of my niece and nephew. These photos are 100% guaranteed to make your ovaries hurt. If you&#8217;re male? Well, I&#8217;m sorry, but you just grew some ovaries. I hope that your spleen and appendix don&#8217;t feel too crowded.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>My nephew still loves the cape that I made for him. Why wouldn&#8217;t he? It&#8217;s totally awesome. I kindof want to make one for myself.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"IMG_8365 by hopers, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/hopers\/4682866952\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4020\/4682866952_dc5b3bd85d.jpg?resize=500%2C333\" alt=\"IMG_8365\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>All of the best aunties bring monkey stickers with them when they visit.
