Design Commission held its second retreat on Whidbey Island this weekend. The difference from last year’s retreat, OBVIOUSLY, is that my hair is longer.
And oh, I am no longer pregnant.

Which may explain why Ruby is in 99.9 percent of the photos, all taken with the iPhone, at least till I get me a new camera.
Apple, I would like YOU to pay ME to talk up your iPhone camera, because, as this weekend proves, your phone camera kicks ass, and I am a GREAT phone-tographer.

The Design Commissioners discussed Design Commissioning stuff, while Ruby wondered why the baby in the mirror always copied her.

Parker brought this Beer and Clamato (clam and tomato juice, people!) drink but I fell asleep before I had a chance to taste it. Damn early bedtime, a peril of parenthood!

Zlata and Andrew prepared a delicious perogi dinner, complete with Polish beer.
I discovered I could eat A LOT of perogies.
Also, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the person who first thought of combining carbs with meat. God bless you!

Ruby The Closet Teetotaler humored us by finishing my Mimosa, to prove her point that drinking is bad for you!

Jay thought he’d died and gone to heaven when Nicole prepared this mountain of clams and mussels, freshly picked from the beach.
I, er, had one. I think it was a clam.

Okay, before you read this next line, I want you to raise your hands and clap them above your head.
Easy, right?
Okay, now take a look at Ruby.
I do believe she has a little growin’ to do.

Jay, meet Dave. Dave, meet Jay. Ruby, meet Dave. Dave, meet Ruby. Chloe, meet Ruby. Ruby, meet…
Oh, just smile and group hug already.

The retreat ended with a champagne toast and some Xbox Rock Bandin’ (I totally whupped Jay’s ass in the drums).
The sore loser said, “She may have rhythm, but she got no soul.”
