C is for cookie... that's good enough for me.

Last night, Koda wasn't listening to me, so I found this phrase coming out of my mouth, muttered in a low I'm Serious tone, "Koda Hess- you get over here right now." Totally a phrase my mom would have uttered. The only thing we're truly missing is a middle name to add to that phrase. I'm not sure if you're aware, but Brandon was a HUGE Barry Manilow fan as he was growing up. No, seriously. Ask his parents. In light of this, I think he should officially be "Koda Cobana Hess."
Speaking of Scrinny- it's her birthday today. Happy Birthday Mom!

Just truckin' along, which is the best we can find ourselves doing sometimes, right? I am keeping busy with work and people are still requesting custom charms, in spite of my self-imposed custom charm hiatus which will allow me to focus on spring cleaning which will be beneficial to our pending move to D-town.
Through various groups such as Craigslist and our local Freecycle group, we have given away: one ugly dresser with drawers only tall enough to stack clothing an average of 1.5 shirts tall- MAYBE 3 pairs of underwear if you're lucky, a box full of white tiles that I had received for free at a garage sale- talk about recycling!, and best of all, we got rid of our heaviest couch in the world hide-a-bed. It was good while it lasted, right? The springs were a bit worn and the thing was starting to get holes in odd places, but a sweet soon-to-be-married couple came and reclaimed it as their own new couch, fit for a father to use during their upcoming May wedding. We tried searching for housing in Denver this weekend- well, were more trying to scope 'hoods, as you can be in a dreamy, charming neighborhood one minute and a scary neighborhood the next, such is the way in many a big city, I'm guessing. It's hard scoping housing long-distance, as you see housing advertisements in the paper that state, "Beautiful Baker neighborhood charmer!" and have no idea if that's truly a good thing or just witty housing advertisement copy. "Great place in Capitol Hill!" means nothing to us newbies. Bran's got a few co-workers who are trying to give us leads, but I think it's going to take several more trips down there to actually discover what the H-** the Baker Neighborhood is all about! I think Denver will be a good thing, though. Eventually.
In other news, subleasing one's house is never fun. It's a hard time to be renting in a college town, since most college kids and rental property agencies are on a strict August to August lease schedule. Maybe I can Freecycle our house.
