found a good dilbert comic strip .

reminds me of my pajama day tendencies and ability to avoid putting on shoes for a few days in a row (not counting slippers).

i love tulips. they are among my favorite flowers: just the perfect amount of prettiness without being overly fancy, soft but not too delicate, and with the perfect shade of green that leaves you feeling fresh. i like watching them grow a mind of their own depending on where the light is coming from.

this weekend the mayor hosted a Kite Festival at the Museum of Science & Industry. it was very cute watching all these tiny kids (and not so tiny kids) concentrating intensely and zooming around as fast as they could in all directions while looking up and behind them. and of course in a sign of old age, the first thought that crossed my mind was, i hope they don’t crash and hurt each other.

i stumbled onto this stamp set by Cavallini & Co. while browsing the U of C bookstore (in the non-books section). it’s called “Birds & Nests”. i couldn’t put it down and so i had to buy it: love the metal case, love the blue scalloped label, love the vintage-looking stamps, love the ink pad. can’t wait to make my first card…
