I’ve got nothing for the blog today – but two days away seemed too much. I have been knitting away on dishcloths (quit smirking!) and painting the Adirondack chairs. They are waiting for a second coat. And I have also been cooking – trying out a new recipe.

Did I mention that D#2 got her learner’s permit? That she has already been driving Onslow? Yes, my two babies! But mostly she has been using our Subaru with its automatic transmission. And the news from D#1 is also very exciting – she tried out for and made a special chamber choir. As a part of the curriculum, they travel to Bulgaria and Greece for 16 days in May! gulp.

happy knitting darlings – I shall leave you with an oldie, but a goodie ….

excuses, excuses ….

A game and some explanations – pick the lie ……..

I have been oddly absent from the blog because:

1. The third and final season of Arrested Development came out on DVD. I am a rabid fan of this show and have spent countless hours memorizing lines I find especially hysterical. I insert them into daily conversations and laugh wildly at my cleverness. Naturally the release of this final DVD is tantamount to a high holy day in my house and everything came to a screeching halt as I committed these episodes to memory. Stay tuned for more hilarity!

2. With summer winding down and all the gray and rainy days we have been having, I have been very low key and not felt like blogging.

3. Julia invited me to join her in a game. Not realizing what I was getting myself into, I accepted. So did Cara. After reading both of their entries for this game, it dawned on me what a boring life I have been living and I became vocally paralyzed. No tales of breaking and entering from me folks. I have too much respect for our judicial system for that! No hair raisers about my naked ta-ta’s on exotic beaches. I have enough freckles thank you very much. What could I possibly write about? That time I got the bad grade on my english paper? How about when I skipped class with Tina that one day and we hung out in my back yard pool floating on rafts and feeling very Thelma & Louise? When you are a GOOD GIRL like me and your mother raised you RIGHT, there is very little adventure with which to entertain. ~sigh~ being a pillar of the community can be such a burden at times.

Sweet 16

P6110013

It is hard to believe that my baby is 16 years old today. She’s smart, funny & gorgeous. Kind, compassionate and studious. She’s messy and somewhat disorganized. She’s afraid of bugs. She loves reading and has written a trilogy. She’s sweet & fun to be around.

She knits!
