Even though this is clearly a terrible idea, I cannot believe I am the first one to say bubble bath. Maybe it would be better for Selma than for you. Theoretically.

The kids’ science museum around here was a big hit for field trips when I was in school — well, really, it seemed like we only ever went there and the state capitol. But anyway, they had a station for bubble-blowing, and they used a hula hoop with the bubble solution. Get friend to swish the hula hoop in solution, stand very still, have friend surround you with a gigantic bubble. very cool.

Cool post on recognizing significant moments ceremonially which made me think of you:

And my kinetic sculpture proving it is blustery these days.

Thank you, Havi! I’m glad you liked the page.

Ok, that cupcake is genius! I must have one. Except I don’t think I could eat it – I just want to admire it and take photos of it.

And that chicken. Still laughing.

If I had a giant bottle of bubbles, I would try to figure out how to blow a giant bubble and step inside. It seems like it might be possible if you covered yourself in soapy water and slowly stepped in. I’ve blown bubbles for the pup before; giant bubbles and a puppy might be even more fun.

…create a giant (possibly theoretical) bubble.

Havi, I gave my son that exact cupcake when he was a baby. Diaper changes were electric blue for two days.

My post, an item? Wow! *warm fuzzy feeling coupled with childish excitement*

Elizabeth’s about page is fabulous! I love it!
And that cookie monster cupcake? Brilliant!

@Riin: I had never thought about the possibility that bubbles could freeze, and now I’m totally obsessed with it! Thank you! I’ve got to try this next winter (because even though February is supposed to be one of our two coldest months, it’s been freakingly spring-like here for the past couple of weeks, so I doubt we’ll have cold enough temperatures again this year).

@Havi: if you are now obsessed with the idea of frozen bubbles too, and Portland doesn’t get cold enough for that, you are totally welcome here next winter to give it a try. I can see it already: a big, magical “let’s freeze bubbles” party! Weee!

Hi, Havi,

I appreciate how *sane* you are! Who wouldn’t want to keep her hands warm inside mittens and still get to play with her toy?

Oh, and that Google cartoon *cracked me up*. Thank you for providing me with today’s good laugh.
