Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Stupidity is in the eye of the ex-spouse.
Essie dropped a chair on her foot. The nailbed has all turned colors. Yesterday she asked me what was going to happen. I casually said "Well... it might fall off - but don't worry, it will grow back." Essie proceeded to go into hysterics boarding on panic attack... repeatedly asking me "Really? Fall off???" and I would answer "Yes, but really, nothing to worry about, it'll grow back." And then finally she wailed "BUT I'M NOT A LIZARD." She started to calm down after about 20 minutes when she look at me and said "Mommy... my toe is really going to fall off??" ACK!!! NO!!! Not your toe - your toe nail!!!!!! You have NEVER heard an 11-year-old give such a sigh of relief. I still kinda chuckle about what must have been going through her mind as I was so casually indicating that her toe would fall off but that it "would not be a big deal."
Guinea pigs are not NEARLY as predictable as you would think they are.
We FINALLY have the go ahead from the bank to put in for our first draw and get some action started on the house. WOO. HOO.
No matter how much they think they know, 21-year-olds are toddlers.
I may already be a millionaire and not know it.
i've never had a season of american idol that i care less about than this one. see... i'm so unenthused i can't even be bothered to capitalize anything.
Some days I'm REALLY disappointed in myself at the end of the day.
Twitter sometimes reminds me of high school.
I miss having a coffee table to stand on while I sing....
Pink's song "Glitter in the Air" is getting heavy rotation on every music playing device I have. Mostly it makes me miss being able to play piano.
Do you live in San Diego? I may be there in May. Do you live in Denver? I may be there in July.
Have you noticed the prevalence of plaid this spring? I think I should be paid royalties.

I am laughing SO hard at the whole toe conversation. Poor child, I'm sure she was horrified, but OMG that is FUNNY!!!
And this quote: "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Stupidity is in the eye of the ex-spouse." is my new fave!
I can only imagine the horror going through her little head at the image of losing a toe!
Gonna be doing some traveling, hmmm? Whatcha up to?
You TOTALLY deserve all plaid royalties! I'm writing the president right now (after this comment, that is).
I only Twitter once a month. Kinda defeats the purpose, I think.
Did you watch Glee this week? "Dolphins are just gay sharks". Loved it.
LOL. You are so right about Twitter. Maybe that's why I dislike it so much!
I live down the street. We need to get coffee. :)
Poor Essie! But that made me laugh so much that I may be laughing all day. Can you imagine her horror? Thinking you were so nonchalant about her toe falling off?!? ROTFL
No wonder she was upset! LOL! Of course I would pissed about the toe nail too b/c it would mess up my pedi. I'm such a girl. Which I guess is a good thing for my husband. :D
Idol is lame this year.
Oh yes, I'm right there with you - Idol is so, so weak this season. I don't know if last season just ruined me forever or what, but even though I like Crystal and hope she wins, I can't get that enthused. Even the judges' critiques bore me this season. Perhaps it's jumped the shark? Or the dolphin? :-D
OMG, I nearly peed reading about poor Essie! THAT is some funny stuff, though!
I have a pair of plaid ballet flats that are pretty much my favorite shoes right now.
Twitter definitely reminds me of high school. You've got cliques and mean girls and immature behavior. But it can be kind of fun, too.
Idol. Yeah. Not my thing. I keep hoping it will go away so they'll put real shows back on.
Poor baby. I can understand her being so terrified.
I opened a twitter account, but have only tweeted two times at the most. I mostly do not understand it.
I am still watching Idol, but I am pretty through with the judges. Especially Randy. Yo Dog, I don't know man, blah blah blah.
OMG the toe falling off? Had me laughing SO hard! Loved this post. American Idol sucks major balls...I don't even watch. We happened to catch a little "American Idol Rewind" the other night with Daughtry and Kellie Pickler. You just can't compare the talent on this season.
And yes, plaid should definitely be paying you.
Oh, that Essie.
One of Target's "deal of the day" today (or yesterday?) was a plaid Conair hair dryer. I kid you not.
Are you coming to Alaska in August? It's beautiful......
poor Essie. I'm pretty sure she and Ben are cut from the same cloth.....that would be the DRAMA cloth.
plaid, where? I don't see any plaid.
Totally with ya on AI. I took it off my DVR rotation. I'm just not gettin' it this season.
Glitter in the Air.....hmmmm. I haven't heard it, but I would like to.
I'm uber sleepy and should really be in bed. Why I'm still up can only be some leftover insanity from spending a week at DW.
Twitter reminds me of high school, too. So does blogging, sometimes. But I can always rely on getting a good belly laugh over here. Hope you're doing well!
