I LOVE the dog coat and the fact that your baby asks to wear warm things in the winter. It reminds me of Griffin - he's got such short hair too and he's always cold.

I am completely incapable of creating anything with my hands, so I kind of envy you for your talent. As for audio, I listen while cleaning, vacuuming, ironing and driving. And sometimes, if I'm too lazy to read, I listen before falling asleep. So more or less always.
