I was out cleaning up my flowerbeds today and found a Hershey's Kiss buried in the soil.
Was someone trying to grow a chocolate tree? The idea tickles me, like when Diggory grows a Toffee tree in the Magician's Nephew.
It was fun to get a peek at someone else's misplaced optimism.
Sometimes, getting married young is a terrible, awful idea.
But once in a while, it is the best idea of all.
I love you, David! I'm glad we have had so much time already to grow old together.
Daylight savings time 1 day before Halloween = sleep-deprived, cranky, candy-jacked kids. If they could just wait to mess with the clocks until the first week in November, my life would be a whole lot more managable.
Any woman who has had to deal with this week would make this her first legislative priority. Hey - first woman, or even first man - heck, even first ape, to make this their #1 campaign issue has my vote!!
Mommy 1: (Looking around at house party is in) So I hear you guys bought a new house!
Hostess: Yes, it's just up around the corner, on the other side of the fairway
Mommy 2: Looking for more room? How big is this house?
Hostess: Oh, only 3100.
Mommy 1 and Mommy 2: mmmm. ( shaking heads)
Mommy 2: And how big is the new one?
Hostess: Well, it's 4300, but it feels like 5.
Mommy 3: Oh, we looked at that one. Yes, it's a bit small, but it does feel bigger than the numbers.
Mommy 1: Well, you'll manage
Mommy 2: Yeah, you can make it work.
Hostess: smiles weakly at me, as her child has had a playdate at my 2100 square foot house, which is the very most we could afford and usually feels palacious to us.
