Dear you guys,
Thank you so very much for all of the incredibly thoughtful comments to my worrisome little post the other day. I swear, I need to read and re-read those comments 10 times over to try and absorb all of the wisdom that you gave. I am the eldest child, which may be part of why I feel especially happy and fortunate whenever someone will share advice with me...especially such kind and smart advice. I've noticed that several people touched on my openness or bravery... and even if I wasn't just a heart-on-the-sleeve die hard, I think I would still feel comfortable and happy being open on le blog. Because I feel so beautifully understood by the people that read this.
So, now I'm going to take you on a wee little "reenactment tour" of my trip with K&C to the Natural History Museum (my second visit in as many months!). As you can see, I really have a thing for the fish-ish dinosaurs (sea monsters! real ones!) and also for dioramas in general.
and then, my personal favorite:
"Portrait of Keith with Komodo Dragons"
Later on yesterday evening, we went to see the famed Avenue Q, which really was as hilarious and charming as everyone seems to think it is. My houseguests were so wonderful. Even when I was dazzling them with my traditional singing of "My name is Stegosaurus" (a song I learned in kindergarten, and oddly still remember every word to) when we reached that part of the dinosaur wing of the museum. Hey, little one and taller one: I heart you guys times 100. Really, I do.
Today I'm back to the usual packing and Post Officing, and then, after Sarah gets home, we are going to make our traditional yummy Project Runway night dinner! I'm thinking maybe Alicia's apple pie again, because it is damn good. And I think I'll obnoxiously refer to it as "______'s Victory Pie" when we learn which of those fashionistas wins. All season, you KNOW everybody (myself and my apartment included) was thinking Michael Knight was an absolute shoo-in for the win. After seeing those sequin patches, though, I think we all know that tonight is anyone's game...

The Natural History museum use to be one of my favorite places to go as a child. Hands down loved it especially the animals!
I love Jeffrey's collection, it is beautiful and he deserves to win!

just a few inches more to the left and it would have looked like the dragon attacking keith!
