My new teddy

Isn't he cute? It seems everyone I know is preggers these days. I haven't decided who this one will go to but I have a few more to make. I got the pattern from knitty.

Extra! Extra! Read all about it...

So it turns out Josh and Alia aren't the only recently converted to emoism (just check out their blogs for evidence). Yesterday Jason admitted that he's joined the herd by default. He just recently discovered The Smiths in their full glory of the queen is dead. He likes them so much I think he listens to them every day now -- maybe it's just a phase. In my mind that doesn't make you emo and definitely not indie but what do I know. Anyway, I told him of Morissey's claims to celibacy and his remark was: "That's so emo". Knowing there was no way he could backpedal out of that one he said he thought that was cool and that maybe he should become celibate as well and emo by default.
Honestly, I think he's just using the celibate/emo card as a way into playing hard to get.

Spring at last, Spring at last...

Finally! There's nothing that says spring like the Cherry Blossom Festival.
I was getting kinda worried with Thursday's snow storm. We went to the festival in Fairmount Park with Kevin, Andrea, and Baby. The weather was beautiful and they had all things Japanese -- Ikebana, Origami, traditional dancing, tea ceremonies, sushi and so on. There were also some really beautiful magnolias To finish we went to the Japanese house to see the koi. See more pictures here.
