The Power You Wield

This post isn’t much larger than something I’d put up on Twitter, but it deserves it’s own post.  Today alone I have witnessed the overwelming cutness my daughter Kari posesses.  When she’s tired she likes to have a pacifier and secuirty blanket to comfort her.  We call these binkies and wambies.  Now that’s something kinda silly to say when you think about it.  But today I heard 3 different adults say binkie and wambie when talking about Kari.  Two years ago no one in my circle of family and friends knew what these things were, but now it’s part of their nomal vocabulary.

Musical Interlude

This evening while I gave my daughter a bath, the following songs were played randomly from my iTunes library.

Jacksonville – Sufjan Stevens
Woman King – Iron & Wine
Maps – Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Croquet – Bitch and Animal
Goon Gumpas – Aphex Twin
Gravity Rides Everything – Modest Mouse
Cloud Watch – Lol Hammond
Decatur – Sufjan Stevens

Yes, it began and ended with Sufjan Stevens.  And I must say, as we were listening it all seemed to fit the mood quite nicely.

Kari Kitchen


Something is corrupting my daughter. She’s been onery lately! She hasn’t learned to say no to Jackie or I, but she has mastered the art of fit pitching. Don’t let these photos decieve you!
