Day 40

Kyle hurt his foot yesterday and was limping all day today. We can't figure out quite what is wrong--he doesn't cry or flinch when we touch it, and it isn't swollen. But he insisted on having a bandaid on it.

Day 37


Kyle and I finally opened up his new crayons. He colored for about 5 seconds before finding something else to do.

Day 36

I have an abscessed tooth, so my main focus today has been on antibiotics and codeine.

Day 35

Today, Kyle told me that he is going to buy a pet lion and it will eat tacos and sleep in our bed (Mommy and Daddy will sleep on the couch). And he will take it to Shopko.

Day 33

Another view of the skyline as I was leaving work. I really like the contrast of the trees against the gray sky.

Day 32

Doris was sunning herself in the most delicious patch of sunshine you could ever imagine. I had to take about a million pics of her. She was only slightly perturbed by the paparazzi.

25 Random Things about Me

I know I just made a similar list for my birthday, but I got tagged so many times on Facebook so I decided to do another list. I tried not to duplicate any of the facts.
1. I have an irrational fear that I will accidentally walk into a men's restroom because I wasn't paying attention. Because of this, I will usually check the sign on a restroom door at least twice before entering.

2. I am allergic to penicillin.

3. I have a major phone phobia and will avoid using the phone at (almost) any cost.

4. In college, I rode the city bus to class a lot. I got bored and decided to memorize the Spanish translations on all the signs. As a result, I can say, "At the request of the driver or other authorized person, please vacate this seat for the elderly and physically disabled" in Spanish. I can also say, "Stand behind the yellow line when the bus is in motion" and "Pull the cord to indicate the driver to stop" in Spanish. I don't know any useful Spanish.

5. Even though I suck at most math, algebra has always come really easy to me.
6. I'm a good speller, but I have a hard time remembering how to spell "separate," "desperate," and "embarrass." In fact I had to look them up just now to make sure I spelled them correctly.

7. I don't like olives.

8. I have recurring nightmares that I am back in high school and I have forgotten to go to math class and/or band class for the entire year. Either that or I can't remember where my locker is, and even if I find it, I can't remember what the combination is.
9. I love to take naps.

10. My favorite kind of pop is Vanilla Coke.

11. I used to think U2's song "With or Without You" was "We Thought We Found You."

12. I hate playing board games. Absolutely hate them.

13. I think of myself as a pretty talented whistler.

14. I'd love to learn how to tap dance, but I really have no rhythm at all.

15. I hate biting into apples. They have to be sliced or I won't eat them.

16. Most of what I eat comes out of a box.

17. One of my favorite sounds in the whole wide world is the sound of my son giggling.

18. I'm convinced I will die in a car accident.

19. I can't resist paint chip samples at hardware stores. I have a drawer full of them.

20. My parents (and many of my other relatives) were teachers. As a result, I used to think that everybody had summers off. I still sometimes forget that I have to work during the summer. I catch myself planning summer projects.

21. I once won first prize ($2000) in a poetry contest.
22. I taught my son to say, "The dog did it!" after he farts, even though we don't even have a dog. It just cracks me up.

23. I can't resist Target.

24. I am horrible with money. My eyes just kind of glaze over when I try to understand anything to do with budgets, banking, investments, or insurance.

25. I spent way too much time obsessing over my answers for this list.
