Lookit me, I'm SOOOOOOOO doped up!

OK this is going to be much fonnier for those who know me if I leave the ypos in. Which is going to be hard for me b/c I usually edit them out so quickly. OK maybe I will be the only one ammused. See, I'm laughing already.

The CMG is sufering from hayfever-gone=wild. (more giggles) I mean seriously, my nose needs its own ZIP code. I could glue the Taj Mahal together with all the snot I've exhaled in teh past 24 hours.

But I ahve been serosly craving the vino this week. An d my Black Cat bar taht I got with my last coffe purchase thanks tot he JENQ discount. I mean, seriously, why send me a delicious chocolat bar unsless youre going to provide the wine with it, right? (whoa, apologies to those who followed the link and found they were out of stock right now. But it's not like I'm offering to share mine with you. Sorry Gretechen but my love only goes so far.)

So toinight I am on: one loratidien (generic claritin) + 2 cglasses ymmy wiene (yes that's supposed to say wine) + 1/2 bag of pepper jack Doritos. AND I just watched LOST which always makes one say WTF sot that's been coming out of my mouth a lot lately along with teh giggles.

For the record, I only gave the baby one dose of Deimetapp for her (proabable?:) allergies. It knocked her out cold fr an early afternoon nap which was just as well because she's been awake a lot at night lately. WHich means taht I am been too.

I hpe I don't pass out before the husband Bryan comes home from his latest travails. So far so good, I think he's due in a few minutes. And If I stay awake i'll be able to have more of my chocolate bar. oh yeah, I ujust remembered why I cam up stairs to get on the Internet. Iwanted to know why Mike Davis is leaving Indiana. That first link is teh one that I thought would hav the answer. But this one is the true one, apparetnly: here

What's really bugging me more now is that the OU coach is replacing him . World is too small for shit like thsi to happen. (And what toes tat meean, anyway?)_ But I'm also bothered bthat the coahc's name is Kelvin Sampson. That is just not the name of areal person in the 21st century, I'm sorry. If I'm not carefl I'll start calling the guy Lord Kelvin or smthing. And I am too doped to link that last one for you, and besides my hubby is home, so you're going to have to find your own amusement tonight.

Blogging from the vault: 3/15/06 Meet my dad, the chick

I've got several posts saved in here as drafts. Trying to clear them out, but some will take some editing/expanding. This one is OK as minimally is. It's a hoot b/c before my dad was retired from the Army (and divorced a second time) he used to live by a simple dressing philosophy: he picks the wife, the wife picks the clothes.

Who's been reading The DaVinci Code to my daughter?!

Seriously. I wanna know. Is her preschool showing The Last Temptation of Christ, and I just don't know it yet?

Big's been a faithful Sunday school student for many weeks. She's brought home several valuable lessons that we've re-enacted at home, including: how to be a shepherd (like Abraham and Lot), how to be a sheep, how to play Jacob's Ladder, how to catch 153 fish (like the disciples). In the past month or so, there have been a couple of lessons about Jesus visiting Mary and Martha. The first was the story of Martha resenting her sister for sitting at Jesus' feet to hear him speak, rather than getting up off her holier-than-thou a*ss to help prepare the meal. This week's lesson was called "Mary shows love" and it's the story of Mary washing Jesus' feet with perfume and drying them with her hair(I think Big was trying to call it scented oil, but it came out sounding like Sentsus. Or maybe Sentences. I don't remember. Not the point.)

No problem so far. But yesterday she started putting two and two together and announced that someday Mary and Jesus can get married and have their own babies. Just like in Dan Brown's book, The DaVinci Code. OK, so he wrote about Mary Magdalene and I don't think that's the one Big is talking about. And if my 4yo can come up with the idea on her own, it can't be that far out there.

On other Jesus themes, Big is still really fuzzy on the concept of death. A couple of weeks ago she was asking me about her friend Kenzie's daddy. (Kenzie doesn't have a daddy at home; she was adopted by a single woman.) Big asked me if K's daddy died on the cross, like Jesus. And even though I said No to that one, she informed me that if he did, then he would come back and be alive on Easter, just like Jesus.

Pastor Jen, if you're out there, please assure me that Big's not going to be struck down for blasphemy.
