Another Normal Day in Austin.

Heading up Lamar earlier this week, just past 15th - something seemed a bit odd about the traffic sign:



I have had 3 different run-ins with zombies, and none of them have been particularly fun or productive - so I decided to turn around and head in the other direction - only to find this:



Great. Just Great. Surrounded by zombies. Again.

Isla is creeping up on 9 months old (this weekend!) and she has never been much for TV - no Einstein's, no Elmo, no Top Chef, no Dynasty reruns - nothing.

But the other day, for a brief moment - with a snack in hand and a comfy chair - she finally zoned-out for a few minute....what was she watching that kept her so riveted?

Shamwow! Of course! Turns out that she bought two - one for the highchair, and one for the stroller:

The Shadows.

Bath-bug.

Well...here we are in January, and it looks like things haven't changed much:
