Top Secret

I just got a wrong number. The person kept calling me "Sergeant Reed"
I kept saying "hello, who is this?"
But they were talking over me. Finally she said it was "Major Leggit"
I couldn't understand exactly what she was saying but it seemed to be about something she had just "picked up."
Plutonium?
I could have been privy to national secrets!

Pontifications by Henry

Henry: "mommy, where did I come from?"

me: "my tummy"

Henry: "where did all the other people come from?"

me: "all people are from a mommy's tummy"

Henry: "That's a lot of mommies!"

me: "yes, it is."

Henry: "That's like..." thinks to himself a long second, "five people!" Then he thinks to himself another moment and comes up with this: "... and I am not Megatron, I am Wheeljack!"

I can't believe I pulled it off!

But I did, thank the Lord. Here it is, my first wedding cake I ever made. Thanks to Cara and Pam for trusting me!

Aaron's Birthday

This is Aaron handing me his cake when he decided he was done 

... opening his gift

but most of all... looking adorable. I can't believe he's 2!

Hot Wheels, part II

Cake is in the oven.

Aaron opened the oven.

Aaron inserted nail clippers.

Thumped him, removed clippers.

Came back in my room,

he opened it again.

He put in a hotwheels car and

melted the tires.

He managed to not burn himself.

I had to pry the car off the botom of the oven with tongs.

HOT wheels, get it?

 

dream dream dream

I had a dream I was in a musical version of Pride and Prejudice on roller skates and my coach was Richard Dreyfuss.

I think I was Mrs. Bennett, but I don't know for sure. I just remember my knees hurting. (which they do in real life right now-thanks to this Mastitis infection of death) It was a performance and a competition and the opposing team kept putting like, 6 or 8 different kinds of salt on the skating surface.  This fascinated my coach, Richard Dreyfuss, who was surprisingly gullible in real (dream) life.  I kept sweeping it up with my scrub brush, hoping no one would notice what I was doing.  Then i was at County Market (grocery chain in Champaign) and I bought some stuff. It was just regular food

but I felt so guilty so I returned it all with the excuse that I would come back and buy it next week when I had some cash.  They felt so bad.  Then Aaron tried to escape so I had to go catch him. When I got back, my shopping cart was full of even more food which the store had given me but I didn't figure that out so I was walking around the store asking people if it was theirs.  Oddly enough, some people said that it was theirs, so I gave all the food away. But I had really wanted a steak sandwich. In my dream a steak sandwich is not what it is in real life; it is a sandwich with steaks as the bread in addition to a tasty meat filling, and I think some avocados. Sounds good, right? I wouldn't know, I didn't ever get one.

also, once I convinced my mom that Julia Louie-Dreyfus was married to Richard. She believed me. It was funny.
