little galaxies

i'm really falling for these earrings, made from recycled materials in my beloved asheville. dan, maybe for my birthday?

the skipper

dan has gone through many, many nicknames since we've been together. here are just a few:

danma (because sometimes when his hair grows out, the back of his hair looks like a grandma's)
danorexic
dandy
dandle
danel
the finisher (because if you have some food you just can't finish, he'll take care of it!)
danelskiver (given to him this summer when we ate abelskiver in solvang), eventually shortened to just "skiver"

and now, i introduce to you the skipper!

















we went for a walk on the beach in south boston yesterday (pleasure bay!). turns out my little danelskiver is very good at skipping stones.

(this action shot almost earned him a new nickname)























trust me: in person it was very graceful and adorable.

the cake that amelia made

was delicious.

one resolution

after hearing last night how many books my friends are reading (along with seeing my writing friend's facebook status say that he had read three *real* chapter books yesterday!), i felt lame. and, therefore, i have set a goal of reading 100 books in 2010 (a very modest goal compared to some).

i'm starting here.
