lisah, what model is that? I swear, I have a similar Trek hybrid, but yours is much prettier! Mine's seven years old and I still love it. It's very handy for light trail riding and just getting around.
There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

That's a good question! I have a hard time retaining that kind of information...research research...ah ha! it's this one:

Random Matilda update:
When she was very wee, we used to play a game called I'm Looking At You With All My Eyes, in which we would try to out-stare each other until we were forehead to forehead, then just barely short of eyeball to eyeball (she wanted to touch eyeballs; the grown-ups had to set some limits), at which point she'd bust out in crazy laughter and fall off of whatever she was sitting on.
Yesterday I thought I'd revisit that old game, but instead she fixed me with a deeply serious stare, took my face in both her hands, murmured, "Look at both my eyes, please," and started singing "Trust In Me," Ka's hypnotizing-you-so-I-can-eat-you song from The Jungle Book.
I am mildly afraid.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I am mildly afraid.
I wouldn't worry. I think she'll turn out smart enough to realize her world-domination plans might be more difficult if she kills and eats her parents.

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

Bwahahahaha!!
BTW, Dylan can now successfully identify Matilda in pictures. If he's looking at her on Flickr and I ask "Who is that?" he'll point and say "Tilda!"
(He still refers to himself as "Baby" but this is due mainly to him being the younger of the 2 Dylans in his daycare.)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Nice bike! I have a 24-speed bike, but all those gears scare me and I don't like riding all bent over, so this weekend I have sent DH on a Craig's List hunt for a nice three-speed beach cruiser.

Be very afraid of Matilda--she has designs on you!!
Was your staring contest of days of yore anything like this one?

My bike has a lot of gears but I finally figured out how to work gears last year so they don't scare me. It's much more upright seating than my current bike which I think I'll like. My hands would get numb/tingly a lot riding my old bike.

Matilda still gets very excited about looking at the pictures from your visit here and will eagerly identify "Baby Dylan!" even in the current pictures where he's obviously Big Giant Boy Dylan. Sometimes she asks when Baby Dylan's going to visit again.
Also, the doll chillin with Dylan in this picture finally has a name, after 2 1/2 years: Baby Carl (named after the baby brother of one of Matilda's daycare classmates).
