Good morning, Dreamwidth! So I spent all day yesterday on journal design - lotesse - what do you think? It's fun to have Snow White back around; she was my first icon, back when I got my livejournal, so it's all nice and circular.

I feel all excited and wiggly about this.

We're watching the original Star Wars trilogy with The Baby, who's never seen them before. I suppose he's not really a baby any more, as he turns nine next month, but he's an orphanage child and he's this tiny little loveball who wants snuggling all of the time. Anyway. We got through Empire days before yesterday, and it was fantastically fun watching him watch it. Lots of interesting questions re: Luke and Vader. We have a date to watch Jedi next time we get the chance.

The Boy's parents are here for a visit, which means lots of fun restaurants. And they brought me my desk! It's a thoroughly excellent desk - it belonged to my maternal great-grandmother, but it was originally made for a select boy's prep school, and the desk part folds into a pretty little oak bureau. I adore it.

The Snow White layout looks great. Hyman's illustrations are so fantastic. I still remember parts of a dream that I had several months ago: it was a story I was writing, and everything in the dream looked as though it were one of her drawings. I'll have to go to the library and check, but I think Mercer Mayer may have also illustrated a book of fairy tales. You'd like those drawings.

Thanks! I had a print, once, of a Mercer Mayer illo called "Amanda is Dreaming of Dragons." I would so iconfy that if I could find it around, but no.
