Kid Two is playing soccer. On the first day of practice he had a question...
Kid Two: What is my coaches name?

Me: According to his voicemail message, his name is, Ulysses Valasques Chaves Padillo.

 Kid Two: Ummm...I think I'll just call him Coach.

Well played, Kid.

I Hit Snooze, Again

-
Do people hibernate? I'm convinced we do. Or I've just decided this is the reason for my wanting to stay under the covers and become a professional snoozer. The fact that I haven't seen the sun in 8 days and it hasn't been balmier than 45º has driven my inner bear-ness. I live in a cloud. Really. This town is officially a cloud.

Mission Impossible

Got Thin Mints?

I'd rather buy from someone I know....I guess I'll have to hit up the dealers in front of the grocery store. This is somewhat unnerving, considering I don't have any of their beeper numbers. But a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do. When I get them home, I will eat an entire stack, carefully, one at a time. The anticipation is almost unbearable..... I am an addict. Got Thin Mints?
