On the Subject of My Intelligence

Well now, that’s a daring title isn’t it? And if any of my brothers comments. . . just remember, I know where you live.

Anyhow, I mentioned a few weeks ago that easily the smartest thing I ever did was marry the Mister.   And unfortunately, it’s not too hard to remember the uhm, dumbest thing I ever did.  No, no, not dating that boy in high school. . . could we just let that one go, Dad?!

No, the dumbest thing I ever did was a bit more egregious than adolesence nonsense.  The biggest, ridiculous, most lame thing I ever did,

Memorial Day

My family will find any excuse to get together and celebrate.  And when we get together, it looks like this.

Video of My Car Being Stolen

Yes, this is a video of my coche being stolen.  But, I’ll tell you right now that there is no footage of me beating the villains over the head with my diaper bag.  Unfortunately you can’t do that around here unless you want to risk getting shot.  Nope, actually, I didn’t even see them.  But they did see me.  Which is a little bit creepy and a whole lot irritating.

And this all happened a year ago today.  Thankfully, my coche was found safe and sound.  My purse?  Not so much.

It was on a day that I went to the gym–I knew I should have slept in.

I parked around 6:10AM, did my workout, and came out about 7:25AM.

Hmm, no car.  But a nice pretty BMW where I thought my ten-year-old coche would be.

Baby Photo Shoot

First, from Baby’s perspective . . .

I had a rite of passage this weekend – - the proud-parents-of-a-new-baby photo shoot.

I nearly didn’t  survive.

But alas, I rallied my ten little piggies and came through with just one soiled diaper and two or three screams of protest.

And I documented it all,. . . just for you. . .because you wouldn’t do this to your wee babe.

Apparently a hair stylist is a must for every model, no matter how small or nonexistent your tuft of fuzz.
