Intro Window to Evasive Domestic Bliss...

and maybe you, like I am, are pressed up to the window to watch.

Newest addition to the stuff I'm lovin is the Suburban Masquerader. I asked to link, she says yep- Official heart for cynic girl. Hopefully you will heart her too.

On to peerage at aforementioned bliss... had Indian tea at DeeDee's house over the weekend. DeeDee or Didi is Hindi for sister. Her daughter calls me so because she calls me so... so for blogging purposes- she is DeeDee. She just had a new baby boy and he is amazingly beautiful and precious and perfect and wonderful and small, and I want one... just not now. DeeDee is a testament to how it works. Hers was an arranged marriage and too look at her and the dork she is married to, you know that it could not have been any other way.

So little D's birthday was Friday and I brought her present last night and stayed for dinner. The child is lovely, and it helps that she adores me. The presents she gets from me are never stupid stuff like clothes or educational toys (I'm not knocking it) I'm just saying that as a child I remember how important it was to have people in your life that were normal, responsible, well-adjusted adults... and spoiled you rotten. So it was the perfect Belle doll, w/ bracelet and ring to match, and a barbie mini suitcase to carry all of her doll stuff in. DeeDee follows me around the house fussing that I spent too much money. But to see the face of little D... the big one could talk forever and it wouldn't matter.

Wonderful sound bytes from little D...
1. "How come no one talks to me at dinner?" She was edged out of a grown up conversation and reprimanded when she threw a mini fit... her byte was the rejoinder.

2. "Daddy, DeeDee is laughing at you" The child is quick, she might not understand every adult joke, but she gets when a joke is being made.

3. "Early dismissal is not inconveinent for adults... If I got out of school early and mommy couldn't get me, I would call DeeDee and we would go to McDonald's" This makes her list because she is all of 7 years old. and you cannot shake a stick at the simple faith and love of a child. and Obviously her mom was annoyed that the child is out of school early today.

Today it is funny that it is a 7 year old that takes care of my heart. and it's good.
