it’s our time down here.

Today is a good day.

Mom, Lolly, and the kids are coming down on Wednesday, and I’m getting the house ready for company. Usually this would send me into a tizzy, but it doesn’t feel that way right now.  And of course, Johnny will be here on the 28th. Life feels exceptional these days.

Knock on wood.

P.S. In perusing the internet, which I do on occasion, I came across this little known guitarman, JM’s blog about The Goonies. I agree with his philosophy that, if we live long enough, and are truthful enough with ourselves, we eventually accept and revel in the fact that inside, we are all Goonies.

This is for you, CD!

Because I know how much you and your family will enjoy it.

 

Everyone else, watch at your own peril.

 

 

It’s either here or facebook, and I don’t think it’s facebook…

Dear Secret Spy Person~
It’s ok. I get it.
In fact, I’d probably do the same thing.
No hard feelings.
Feel free to comment, we’d probably get along.
Peace.

Lucky you!

I’m just in the mood to share today!

The girls and I are enjoying some of the first season of The Muppet Show. Candice Bergen was the guest star. Watch!

Rodents and I don’t really have a great history…

I got a voice mail today from BethyGirl1.
“Hey mom I’m just uh. I just need you to…. send, um, to get Kate first because I need… I need to get Einstein, Mrs. Bernard’s bunny, cause I wanted to take, um, Mrs Bernard let me take him home. So I just need you to get Kate first and then come for me cause… and I’m gonna leave my trombone here, too, because I can always pick… and I don’t have lessons on Monday and I can always pick it up on Tuesday… So I just need…need you to get Kate first. Bye. *kiss sound*”

Here’s Einstein:

And here’s what happened to BethyGirl2 when she attempted to pet said lovable bunny:

Bad Bunny.

Something new every day…

So Kate has developed a love for oatmeal. When she got home from school today, she asked to have another bowl as a snack. Being the good mommy I am, I said yes, of course, healthy oatmeal! Then she asked to eat it outside… which I thought was odd, but I didn’t really have a problem with it.

Next thing I know, she runs in and announces that snails love oatmeal too!

I go outside to this:

5 minutes later there were actually 4 of them eating it.

Bizarre.

update.

It’s going to be all poetry for awhile, folks. I just don’t really know how to speak any other way these days.

You know where to find me.

I tried to go to church tonight.

Nice people. Great people, really.

I made it to the parking lot. 

Maybe next time I’ll make it inside.

Sometimes it’s awfully difficult not to hold a grudge. 

But I’ll keep trying.
