pretty cloud formations. my dad sent me this link
Rows and flows of angel hair,
And ice cream castles in the air,
And feather canyons ev’rywhere,
I’ve looked at clouds that way.
Yeah, she's such a cutie! Proficient and hot!
Today I have cleaned my house. Yesterday I only got as far as the bath. But today all the public spaces are presentable, just in time for our guests to stop by. They are waiting to have lunch with us, which is much of a bummer, because they're waiting, and when they get here, they're still going to have a half an hour to go before they can eat, and we're all hungry now.
But oh, well, and it'll be nice to see them. And the house is clean, even if they don't spend any time here.
This afternoon is Cooking Day wherein I cook a bunch of meals to freeze and take with me on vacation. However, I have discovered that the efficiency suite that we have booked has a full kitchen! Yay, not just a microwave and mini-fridge. So that'll be nice. And maybe I should just take ingredients instead.
Then tomorrow is Clean the Rest of the House Day, and then vacation!
Okay, and then after that, seven straight weeks of teaching. But okay.
Emmett's baseball practice was cancelled because of rain.
But I was watching a Fritz Lang movie I'd TiVoed (The Testament of Dr. Mabuse) and a thug whipped out his sap! I'd always wanted to see a real sap or blackjack and it was amazing to see how small it was, bouncing on its spring handle. Hard to believe such a little thing could do so much damage. (A little 5" sap can knock a man out and break bones readily.)
Eve has now been taught to say "Dude!"
Next: "sweet!" or possibly "where's my car?"
Awww...cute!
Teach her "tubular."
When my nephew was starting to talk, my brother taught him "perpendicular." His inflection was so musical, it was the cutest thing.
My sisters had so much fun teaching each others children to say stuff. Passing the youngins over for babysitting almost always resulted in learning new sayings Mom didn't want to hear. Not nasty, just fun stupid stuff.
My oh my, what a basketball game. Alas, Cincinnati forgot how to get the ball through the net in the end. Every single time the ball hit the rim there was an all out battle for the rebound. I think I got bruises just watching.
Man, I'm doing so badly today. C'mon Wake Forest, work with me here.
