Blue lipped Boy...

Don't worry, no Heimlich horror stories to tell...

I was just reminded by SM's post of something Samsbane pulled on me Monday. I was working in the kitchen when he walked up to me grinning & holding up his arms, apparently wanting me to pick him up. I did..... and then had to wonder why on earth his lips & chin were brilliant turquoise blue?! So I wandered around the house for a good 10 minutes... just KNOWING we had nothing that he could have been eating that would have stained his lips so well.... but his lips were blue so obviously we did. Finally I found it... He had gotten hold of one of my birthday cards--a cool little one done on this weird paper that looks black until you write on it with a special pen--then the writing looks like funky ink splatter--all different colors. Anyway.... apparently Samsbane had decided that in the absence of the special writing pen he'd just lick the card for a while, hence the blue lips. (The "black" background is apparently just a concentration of blue pigments.)

Silly blue-lipped staple-eating boy!! I just can't wait to see what he pulls when he hits the "terrible twos" :-D

8 weeks to go....

...but I prefer to say 2 months, because that sounds like more time..... :blushes:

...'cause I still have a lot to do. :smiles:

...and 'cause I procrastinate (which has a habit of biting me in the butt). :grins:


But hey.... only 8 more weeks til I can sleep by myself again!! :very big grin:

Blue-eyed Phillies fan....

There's still time....................

Ice cream & sodas a-plenty..... go get your friends, then come & get some... We'll be here all day.................... :-D

Come one, come all....

Hubby came home early from work today with 2 gallons of ice cream (fudge ripple & Neapolitan).... and a 1/2 sheet cake... and a ton of 2 liters....

Y'all feel free to drop by tonight & help us consume this mother-lode of sugar... anytime after 6:30pm.......... if ya need directions, give us a call (though you might have to call LJ for our number ).

Southerners.....

With the forewarning that I am a Yankee through & through, I have a comment.

Southerners.... can actually be genuinely nice people--and good neighbors.

That's all.....

91....108....56?!

Fasting blood sugar: 91

2 Hr post-sugar intake:108

So far... so good.

Blood sugar before lunch today: 56!! Whaaa?!??

Aaah.....

Feet up, reading a book (Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time) found whilst unpacking those 24 boxes of books...

Ladies BS is over... only 10 or so weeks to go before BabyDragon2 arrives... gotta get the books read now--no time later!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa................

Cheesecake is in the oven & will be for about another hour....

Bookshelves have moved indoors to finish the varnish curing process... humidity outside in the shed has hampered things a bit. Either way they will be filled with books by Tuesday night.

My men are both asleep, but my little girl is staying up to keep me company (or at least to give me a swift kick now & again as if to say "would you go to bed already?")

Wish I could, dearie... wish I could!!

Meh........

People are SO annoying!!

Especially when they don't know the difference between the definitions of hypothetical and rhetorical....

Especially when you find that out after taking every available waking moment in 13 hours to give input on a "hypothetical scenario"....... and then the basic response you get is... well I disagree, but I don't feel like taking the time to explain my position, but it's biblical... so I guess this is just a sticky wicket thing.

WT...????

Do not EVER invite me to respond to a hypothetical scenario, (and then after I do) inform me by way of your own lack of response that you weren't asking a hypothetical question after all, but a rhetorical one. That's what they call it when you ask a question you don't really want anyone else's input on...... or one on which your mind is already cemented in its own opinion... or at least that was the definition of rhetorical when I was in school.



end of rant... I think.....

Ramblings, rantings........ meh.... Just life!

Have sent more rambling e-mails today (well, actually yesterday) than I care to count. My sincerest apologies if you were on the receiving end of any missive from yours truly. I tend to babble on and on and on and on when I'm thinking, and I've been thinking. (Didn't ya smell the smoke?) I also tend to babble when I'm high.... and I've been sanding, staining, sanding, and varnishing bookcases all weekend & today (well, Monday)...so I've got dust in the nose & fumes in the bloodstream... AND I had a big mug of highly caffeinated coffee after supper tonight..... not a good combination when my e-mail "IN" box is full. So, yea, my apologies to those who've heard from me recently.... I'm sure you heard more than you wanted to! :-P

Speaking of sanding and varnishing, I would rant about having to scrape newspaper out of drying varnish with a putty knife, but this sentence pretty much says everything printable on that topic!! Naturally it was the tops of the shelves that dried with newspaper adhered....... These stupid bookcases WILL be finished in time enough for the varnish to properly cure (and quit stinking) so I can drag them back into the living room & load them with the 24 boxes of books currently piled in the living room before I host this month's ladies Bible study at our house a week from tonight! *runs away screaming* And while I'm ranting about having 20+ women & teen girls invade my living space, may I mention that I have to provide food too?? Granted that I volunteered to host this month, and granted that I don't have to give the lesson (took my turn at that in February to get it over with for the year....they only thought I was kidding!)..... and granted that it's not a full meal, just finger food... but still!!! Current menu is blackberry cheesecake & "death by chocolate"-- (hey LJ, can I borrow your trifle bowl for that??) for the sweets, and chips -n- dip & a ham/broccoli/cheese braid for the non-sweets. Oh, and prolly a good thing if i had drinks too, eh?? I'll sure need one when this is all over!! Actually I like entertaining... it's just like I told LJ earlier this morning... why is it that I'm happiest when I have something to bitch & moan about??

Anyway, guess I've put off answering that last e-mail for long enough. As it actually requires some thought, I saved it for last...............

G'morning!!!
