Ha! Jesse that's hysterical. What did they say??? ?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
There are so many character traits that are similar to me. Freaks the grandparents right out. Well, and then they say COMUPPANCE and smirk.
He does have tiny fists, but only because he is six. His fingers, hands and feet are all long and skinny. My fists on the other hand, perfectly normal-sized.

My best friend when I was little was an adoptee, and it was something her parent's never hid from her. At the same time, I remember having so many conversations with her that were like yours, and sometimes it would take a while for both of us to remember she was adopted.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Well, and then they say COMUPPANCE and smirk.
Of course that's as it should be, adopted or no.
Rock of Love: The stripper said sure, she'd share, the nice girl said no way, and he picked the nice girl. Of course, I'm convinced he still thinks the stripper would fuck him over like the girl he wrote "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" about. Because she was a stripper, too.

Parents' perogative. Seems appropriate your kid is one that is like you.
I'm glad he's become so intrinsic that he is Your Son. Nature, smature, nurture, shmurture. Parents. Good ones are good ones.

I've seen recipes for sooking apples on the grill just like that, paperdol. Takes maybe an hour, maybe half that? Depends how cut up they are, I think.
Love msbelle's story of mac's height. Just love.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So on my way driving over to collect JZ at church and go to Matilda's birthday party at her Papou's house, I was going over the cake in my head.
Why did it fall apart? I was focused on the icing, doing two different kinds. Butterscotch for the interior layer and Chocolate on top. But I'd just done Emmett's cake last week and it held together pretty well. Slight breakage but not the total mudslide I had with Matilda's cake. But the recipe was so easy - I just used a mix. Some water, some vegetable oil. I stirred it up and poured out the batter.
And then I realized, all those extra eggs I bought but didn't use.
Yep, cakes made without eggs will not hold.
El Estupido!
When JZ saw the cake she started laughing uncontrollably. Then since she had to carry it in her lap, she'd look down periodically and laugh at the world's most pathetic yet highly chocolatey & butterscotchy cake. She didn't snicker. These were full on belly laughs.
She did that about five times.
And then again when we took it out of the refrigerator to serve. Except that time her dad joined in.
But you know what? Matilda loved it. So there.
It did taste good. Since the bottom layer was so egg-starved it just soaked up all the butterscotch. It was like some fantastically ugly looking British trifle, but with ice cream to make up for the missing richness it tasted good.
They took several pictures of it just to make sure it was immortalized forever.
Matilda received many excruciatingly beautiful and cute items of clothing, none of which will fit her for about six months.
She was in a good mood through the whole proceeding (as is her tendency) and Emmett kept her well entertained.

Hee. Sounds like a ton of fun, Hec and JZ. Happies to Matilda (I think I'm a little late... but still in time for the party!) Were they digital pictures? Because I really think you should share.
