Goin' through my head since Christmas Eve
I’d like a …dog…PLEASE.
It’s my favorite an-i-mal.
I’d like it to be ….blue….PLEASE
That’s my favorite color.
I’d like it to eat ….bananas….PLEASE.
That’s my favorite food.
And I’ll call it ….Emerson…
Just like you!
What did we do before toys you could hook up to your computer via USB so you could...
I *know* that flying is the safest way to travel
But I really, really, REALLY am dreading getting on a plane in 4 weeks.
Sometimes I feel as unpopular and unloved as I did...

No NYE plans….Not even ones to decline b/c we have to stay home with a baby. THEY don’t know we don’t trust babysitters.
I would babysit. You would trust me, right?
Sure….But then we would lose our excuse for not going to things that we don’t want to go to :-) Are you back in Tulsa now?
Sorry I have to write this down so it seems less...
I had a series of awful dreams last night….One was basically me being trapped with others in a nuclear meltdown type situation.
The second one I forgot other than it just making me uneasy.
The third one was the most vivid. If I were good at writing dialog, I would turn it into a screenplay. Or I may have swiped it from something I have already seen but forgot about. The first part of it...

Christmas Crying Spell #1
Trying to find a gift bag to use and found one from “Grandpa Shank” to Emerson from last year.
Yeah, that’s the only Christmas he got to give her anything.
Frickin sad.
Words with Friends
A totally NEW way for Rod to ignore his family every night!
Both of Rod's boys kicked my butt at Scrabble when...
No Words with Friends for me.
Airborne & Vodka
After the Flaming Moe, it’s my second favorite alcoholic cold remedy.
In Phoenix, there is rain, thunder and lightning...

That ought to feel like Christmas, right?
I lived in Bullhead City, AZ for about six months in 1994-95.
It only rained two days the entire time.
Christmas was one of them.

Now we just need to figure out a way to send this to the rest of the world w/o anybody thinking knowing we are uppity.

It would be the best Christmas present ever.
Today is the first day of the rest of your life.
Merry Christmas Mrs. Knowlton.
That’s a nice thing you said to my wife, but I don’t understand why you’re wishing my mom a Merry Christmas. :p
Both of your posts made me happy. Thank you.

Feelin' precarious
My biggest fan died this year.
Someone got into my car overnight and stole our diaper bag and perhaps other stuff I don’t even know is missing.
An actress about my age died, apparently suddenly.
A two year old drowned while her mother was tweeting.
Ice/snow storm possible for this week.
Ladies & gentlemen, I think we’ve made it here.
Note to news writers
Maybe I am alone here, but the phrasing of “So and so is dead” seems too abrupt. I guess the adjective form of the word is a reminder that this person is dead FOREVER.
I prefer it to be phrased as “So and so has died”. This way it simply marks the death as a past event.
Learning more about SOAP....
And I can’t get this song out of my head.
“Because in my mind, there is always that little slice of space I save for my...”
– in the fade: faith and agnosticism
Totally….That’s why I do my best to live my life in a such a way that if there is a God that hopefully I’m not displeasing Him/Her/Other too much. I like to think that I have never made the conscious decision to reject the idea of God - Rather...
All of my paragraphs are gratuitous
Dropped off Em at daycare this morning. There was an absolutely adorable boy about a month younger than Em. He brightly said Hi! to us as we walked in the door and gave Em a big hug. Em stood there reluctantly with an “Is it over yet?” look on her face. We went over to a friends’ house last weekend and when we left, their 19-month-old gave Em a hug as we left. Em pretty much...
“Paula is almost 4 years old now, but she started speaking late. Speech therapy...”

More like Tiger's Wood, amirite?
How about every time you feel the urge to be sad...
1) appreciate that the free service existed in the first place
2) donate $5 to a homeless shelter because you have a first world problem instead of real actual problems.
