Scenes from a drive

Sunday, August 31st, 2003

Scenes from a 3 hour car ride that’s been extended into 4 hours by various and sundry silly things. Conversation includes Mommy, Caroline (2), and Jo (almost 4 and renowned for her ability to translate for Caroline).
Caroline: Aaaaaa! The sun! The sun!
Mommy: Put your blanket over your head and hide from it.
Caroline: [...]

More proud parenting

Saturday, August 30th, 2003

I forgot to mention something else Jo said today. Hub was telling her about the ranch, and how we would take rides and see deer and stuff, and Jo said “And Daddy, I want to kill a pig.” Just out of the freaking blue.
We’ve been playing family games of hide-and-seek in the bedrooms. [...]

Oh carp.

I always know trouble is brewing when hub loads my web page, gives me a “look”, then starts typing furiously, interspersing his pounding on the keyboard with “How do you spell suchandso?”

Proud parents

Friday, August 29th, 2003

Jo said her first “y’all” tonight. We are so proud!
We’re going to the ranch tomorrow, so perhaps I will have some nice creepy crawly pictures for y’all when we get back. This is the first time we’ve gone with the kids in a long time, so it’s kind of a trial run to [...]

Hall of shame

Friday, August 29th, 2003

Ok, I’m sick and freaking tired of the same person sending me this damned virus over and over and over and over and over.
If you’re a Pacbell customer, check your computer for viruses. I’m getting it from Received: from HP (adsl-64-161-224-41.dsl.lsan03.pacbell.net [64.161.224.41]). Fix it, for the love of Pete!

Weird, weird cat

Thursday, August 28th, 2003

Caroline’s been running around the house without a shirt on. We seem to have a hard time keeping clothes on that one. Earlier she climbed onto my lap and was hanging out watching TV. Max the kitten jumped up too and snuggled up with Caroline. I heard uneasy laughter coming from [...]

Hmm

Thursday, August 28th, 2003

I feel like I would like to write a nice long entry tonight, but can’t think of what to write about. Similarly, I feel like shopping for something, but can’t think of what to buy. I guess I’m still feeling a little pent-up after Jo made me come home from Nordstrom early because [...]

Haw! Haw, I say!

“First of all we wish to thank you for hosting with us during the past year.
We certainly hope doing business with us was a very pleasing experience.

Nordstroms report

Monday, August 25th, 2003

I took Jo to Nordstrom today. That is a dangerous place for me to go. I have a feeling I will be spending a lot of time (and money) there. Heck, it’s not even like going to the mall. I can pretend I’m in a stand-alone store like Steinmart, only [...]

Seeing-Eye Cat

The Seeing-Eye Cat made another foray, this time to Lowe’s.
