A life-size doll
So Briar and Connor and I were playing the Planet Earth DVD game. When it wasn’t his turn my darling son kept climbing all over Briar who was laying on the couch. One time I said: “Connor, be gentle with Briar.” Briar piped up : “Why do you say that to him? I’m not a doll ( Read more... ) -

A friend of ours lives in a small town and is currently going to AA meetings. Unfortunately the town is so small that the meetings happen in a church and he is weekly asked: “Have you found God yet?”, which will likely and unfortunately result in him quitting. I think he should get one of these shirts and just point to it when they ask. Maybe ( Read more... ) -
Some days you're the bug...

I am such a suck
I took Connor to see the movie Ramona and Beezus and I cried. Three times. In my defense, Connor climbed into my lap and cried too at least one off those times. (he climbed up for the first and definitely cried, stayed in my lap for the rest of the film, and one of the other times I saw him wiping at his eyes so I presume he was crying again.)

Goodbye. -

By the end he had a real appreciation for the amount of work that goes into vacuuming (and doing a good job), and the last of our dust ( Read more... ) -

The Honest Lawyer (pub)
I went out tonight to spend the evening with a couple of friends and a bunch of people I didn’t know at a pub. I had a really good time, met some very nice people, had some good conversations and a lot of laughs. And somewhere in the middle of that I seem to have volunteered my house for a party. O_o I wasn’t even drinking ( Read more... )
