I really mean it....

I need to go to bed. But how can you stop when you come across stuff like this?

Which led me to...

This one's for you, dad

Cursing the GibbonJockey...

I have definitely cursed the GibbonJockey about many things over the years- the primary one would be abandoning my husband in Hopiland a few months before we made our exodus. But now, one more reason, he introduced me to another time sucker. Thanks for nothing, GibbonJockey. The website kind of reminds me of Uncle Matt's trips in Fraggle Rock. And I'm a little embarrassed that #74-76 have all applied to my life this week. I am a new owner of a decreased carbon footprint, decreased plastic leeching water bottle. Must go to bed... Oh, and how great is it that there's a muppet wiki website?

Another time waster...

Just what I need, another website to suck up my time. Check out www.goodreads.com. It's like a facebook for book readers. Completely addictive.

For my birthday...

Since I know you all like to buy my birthday present months in advance, kudos to the person who trumps this present. For further giggles on the same subject...

Deep Thoughts...

Jacklet came up with a couple of doozies today.
1) You know, days do keep coming even after you die. We know people who have died and the days still keep coming. So after we die, the days will keep coming.
2) I'm glad we have ears. You know, if we didn't have ears, we couldn't hear. I'm glad we have ears.
3) What happened to dinosaurs? What does distinct mean? Will people become distinct? If a meteor comes, let's move somewhere else so we don't become distinct? (I tried to correct the distinct to extinct... just didn't happen).

Hmmmm....

What should this blog be? I continue to ask myself this. Just fun stuff about the kids, rants about this or that, me trying to get everybody to giggle once a day? I still haven't quite figured it out. I was trying to think of something to blog about today. There were a couple of cute things the kids said or I could write about happy things that happened to friends today. And then I came across this. Probably the #1 (or maybe #2) reason I turned down the Peace Corps. Finally, a little more proof coming out that I made the right decision. And that it would probably be the daily (or not so daily) update from L blog instead of L/J/E/J.

You go, girl...

Well, I did it. I've been threatening it for years and I finally tried downhill skiing. No one wanted to go with me- Jim didn't want to go and all others I asked made up some injury (you know who you both are). I bought myself a first-timer Learn to Turn package at Wa-Wa-Wa-Wachusett. I did much more and much better than I thought I would on my first day. Went down all the green trails they have to offer and even managed to not fall getting off the lift. And I don't even feel all that sore (yet). If only I had my ipod loaded with New Kid tunes, it would have been a perfect day.

Saving face...

Just to make myself clear. I never really liked New Kids, nor do I like them now, nor do I want tickets to go see them in concert (nonetheless for Valentine's Day). Although some how I do know all of the words to all of their songs.
And I never liked the Spice Girls either. And I hate Victoria Beckham's hair.
