In Other news...

-My eldest child is off to kill something this weekend. He's deer hunting, to feed this family for the winter. And also to bag a trophy.

-I watched a dreadful excuse for a movie last night. Zohan. Seriously? Don't mess with it.

-I am back to full-caffeine coffee. For some reason that seems to allow me to get more done with my days. Go figure.

-Football is over for us. Wrestling is next. Did I tell you that M' scored his first touchdown this year? He's a stud.

-My youngest is on antibiotics for strep. Last week he was terribly ill with a high fever that resulted in delirium. It was awful. He's much better now. I love medicine.

-I have fallen completely in love. But you knew that. Tim continues to amaze and delight me, with his deliberate pursuit of myself and my children. This is the stuff of fairy tales.

-Who let winter in early? I am morally opposed to turning on the heater this soon, yet snow is forecast for this weekend. How is this possible?

-Kara brought over her mother's photo album from the '70's. I was in it. First with wispy blond pigtails, then with a Farrah Faucet Do. Does anyone else remember Hash Jeans?

-Kara's Mother, Yvonne, has been incredibly beautiful for over 30 years. So has my own Mother, as evidenced by the photos in that book. Neither one has changed one iota. I hope I age like that.

-It's Friday, and I am supposed to go out with girlfriends tonight. Mostly, I think I am getting too tired for such wild abandon. I get more excited about the thought of climbing in bed early, than about going dancing. How pitiful is that? Does that mean I've finally grown up?

Just so you know...I turned on the heater. The house was 58 degrees, after all.

Sorry to have to remind you of this, but I'm too young to have the slightest idea of what Hash Jeans are. Would you enlighten me?

Also, poor D'! I hope he's feeling much better now. If it's any consolation to him, my son is also ill but only with a cold. But I think colds hit wee ones harder.

Additionally, somehow my own mother has gotten MORE beautiful as she's aged. That's my plan.

best wishes for the young'n! Glad to hear Tim has earned your respect. You ought to post the Fawcett do, bet that was a really funny photo (but not for the time of course!). Heavens, I remember having one too! Just kidding....
