Adoption Day 2015

[przed]

As it turns out, I didn't make it to tonight's Taekwando class. Tomorrow is the anniversary of us adopting Rosalind, so tonight we took ourselves to Mongolian Grill to celebrate.

This is the only picture we managed to get with all of our eyes more or less open.


For comparison, here's a pic of Ros as a toddler. It's hard to believe she was ever that tiny. (For the record, we still have the fuzzy green chair, though it's nearly too small for her now, and she more frequently sits in it tipped on its back and upsidedown.)


We usually get Ros a gift for Adoption Day. This year she gets to pick out her own Birkenstock flip flops, which she has been bugging me about for at least a year. I think we have the only eight-year-old who'd rather have shoes than toys.

In other news, whilst poking around my LJ to look for old pics of Ros, I found this comment in the wake of draycevixen pointing me to halotolerant's TG fic:


I have a sudden desire for a time machine so I can show 2009!Zed just how much TT slash 2015!Zed has written. ::cackles hysterically::

Hmmm, there are a couple of alarm clocks kicking around our third floor from various visitors. Do you know what yours looks like? If we've got it, I can pop it in the mail, or bring it over with us in June.

Oh, there are? Ooh.

Obvious silly answers aside (ahem): it is small, just a couple of inches wide, and is pretty much square: square at the front and then not nearly as deep as it is tall or wide. Very dark green plastic casing. The on/off button is on the top; you pull it up slightly to set it to ring, and it is, I think, moulded to fit over the back edge, so you put your finger on the back of the button to pull it up.

Dark green doesn't sound familiar (I know there's a silver one and a brown one, neither of them square) but I'll have a cast around and see what I find.
