I'd like to thank the academy

I think I must be the only one in the world that didn't watch the Oscars last night. I don't even know what I was doing. I think I went to bed at nine, after reading some Spiderwick Chronicles to the kids (we're almost at the end of the fifth book and I'm not happy about it because the kids are finally interested in listening to the same books and they like it so much).

I'm kinda upset I missed Jon Stewart - I hear he did a good job of hosting, and I do love me some Jon Stewart. I went to see him live a few years ago. I don't like to see musical artists perform live, but give me a funny man, and I'm there. Actually, I just got tickets to see Margaret Cho in April, so I guess funny women will work for me too. But I really hate crowds, and parking, and eight dollar tap beer, and I don't even drink beer anyway (I'm a red wine kind of girl).

But I digress...

The whole point of this post was just to tell you that I didn't watch the Oscars, or do much of anything this weekend, for that matter. We cleaned the basement; made some brownies; googled "how to trap a leprechaun"; created some mossy terrarriums; had dinner with the family; narrowly missed urgent care after Jackie dropped a heavy glass bowl on Olivia's toe, and called it a weekend.

As uneventful as my weekend was, I still managed to take some pics of the "non events" (read: the creation of fairy habitats) and I will share them with you now:
