failure.

this is supposed to be a picture of us looking excited...

Instead it looks like I'm raising my hand in class and Justine is copying me.

Go team.

I love pretty food.

hmm. interesting: from Alaska

My sister-in-law found this installment of "hmm. interesting" on craig's list..here is what she had to say...

I was just flipping thru Craigslist today and saw this in the "wanted" section. The heading was "shopping carts," and I was wondering if it was someone for our Thanksgiving Blessing (food ditribution) project coming up that needed the carts, so I clicked on the ad and it said...

" I am in need of some shopping carts so that we can modify them for our physics class demonstration. I am looking to get 2 or 3 or 4. I don't have a lot of money to spend on these, but i do have a hamster i would be willing to trade? Email me and let me know if you have some. Or call me or text me..." and then gave the phone numbers.

So, does anyone else laugh out loud at someone looking to trade a HAMSTER for 2 or 3 or 4 (not 2-4, but 2 or 3 or 4) shopping carts? There is so much to this simple 2-line posting...


Thanks, Laura, for the laugh! It's good to know that in some parts of the world hampsters can be exchanged for currency....

s'now what?

My dad texted me this morning to brag about getting snow....like I would be jealous that they are getting snow and we aren't....

THAT IS SO UNFAIR...I WANT SNOW.

NOW. NOW. NOW.

Our niece, Ella, is learned in the art of intimidation....

This morning as we were watching TV:

Andy: I'm going to watch through this glass so he has a big chin.

(as he looks through a glass sitting on the coffee-table)

Andy: Big chin, little head, big chin, little head

(as he moves his head up and down in front of the glass looking through different parts of it.)

i'm a lucky girl.....

Wordizzle from Baby J: so you had a bad day...

J-Diddley: First, my parents dressed me up as a FAT tiger and my mom ate my candy

Then Uncle Andrew played with me like I was a cat...

This is how I feel about this week....

Today's overheard excerpt:

"saturated fat is a lot less specific than calcium."

Good to know.
