Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Egad Noah is absurdly cute! I love the way toddlers walk.

I graded two paper sets this weekend. I am almost more proud of that than I am of not killing anyone over Thanksgiving dinner.

“Not dead yet!”

Barb probably way to late for me to chime in on your slow cooker, but ... might you consider Ropa Vieja?

It's a thought, but my family's recipe for ropa vieja doesn't use a slow cooker and I'm almost afraid I'd be courting bad mojo if I messed with the tried and true.

Has no rhyme or reason, I know, but it's just a feeling I can't shake.

hip deep in pie

What does it say about me that I had NO idea that Tina Fey has a pretty significant facial scar?

I have noticed the scar, but I didn't have any idea that it was as significant as it looks in that picture.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I am so impressed with hiking!Noah!

Dylan spent most of our post-Thanksgiving hike like this.

I've got to ask, Jess. Can you get him in the ergo unassisted? Because I can in a pinch, but it's always touchy, like I might drop him at any moment.

Can you get him in the ergo unassisted?

If I need to, yes, but it's easier on both of us if he's lifted in by a third party. If I'm loading him in solo, I try to do it over a couch just in case.

HA! I usually am out, so I try to do it while sitting in the back of the Saturn. It requires an underarm pass and scootching him. NOT pretty and frankly very scary. I wish he'd just learn to embrace his spider monkey side and hang around my neck.

(and I'm only talking about back riding, of course).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am fretting about the economy and all the work I have to get done in the next couple of weeks, and the enormous degree to which I don't wanna!

Oh well. Time for my next meeting.

I'm creating awards certificates with a severe case of the don' wannas.
