HAS ANYONE SEEN AN ADULT CAT

Ten Reasons Why I love Rebecca and Madeline
10) Rebecca screams out BABY FISH MOUTH seconds before those words are uttered in the eternal soul fest movie "when harry met sally"
9) madeline plays at least 2 hours of Snake on her nokia a day. theres nothing like being woken up to the f'ing DING of a cell phone every time she gets to a new level
8) there was a PARADE outside of our window this morning, complete with tubas (ok, so mad and bec had nothing to do with this... but they were there, and enjoyed it just as much as i did)
7) rebecca's mom sent her a limerick to send to me... and i shall publish it here
There once was Rebecca's ma
Who read Victoria's blo(g)She thought them very clever
But knew she'd match them never
So will hang up her limerick pen forever.
classic. thank you momosauraus reilly.

i dont know, whatever. they are spectacular human beings... but here are 5 reasons why I hate them today.
5) they are Ladybrand TEASES
4) they are trying to have an ice cream sunday party tonight without sprinkles. that hurts my soul.

ok, so i only have two reasons. but they are valid with a capitol amas amat amor.

and then Namibia with five of my favorite people to wake up before effing dawn, NOT having champagne interludes, and watching sunrises and sunsets and listening to rebecca say Windhoek until i pee my pants. (or my sleeping bag)
so much life to live.

BECK RULZZZ

So, no loose glitter, eh? Might as well take away our souls.
Burning Man, South Africa. Mad scientists (pun intended...) Mad, and Rebecca will ingeniously develop a way to pack glitter so intensely on our bodies that there is no way a fleck of colored matter will fall from our bodies.
We will be glitter moguls.
So much room for love in my life right now (is that a john denver song...) but the past week has been borderline magical. Instead of sitting at school all day wondering why the heck i am here, i worked with my favorite student on some exams taht he had to finish before discovering that, interestingly enough, he cannot read or write. So we are working on that. He is the Rhett Butler of 5th grade. He has a steed.
Ten Things That Quicken My Heart About My New House
10) its purple. not previously painted purple, but passionatly painted purple, which is just as good.
9) my new little brother. swoon. he makes a lot of awkward sighs. but i have been making him crossword puzzles and me, becca, and nao will sit and do crossword puzzles before counting our gray hairs and brushing our dentures. (no offense, crotchety old people of the world)
8) there is a massive baobab tree on my wall. well, maybe not as baobabbish as beautifully and wonderfully green and fruitful. and on my wall.
7) i have woken up every morning to two of my favorite things in the entire world a) rebecca reilly... and b) my pregnancy pillow aptly named Bryan Adams.
*sidenote about bryan adams. When he is wrapped around your body you feel safe. Warm. Loved.
(same with rebecca)
6) There are no Potato Chip Crises. I am the master of the spud. I have made the most delicious french fries/potato chips with velvetta cheese and a healthy dose of sodium.
5) PEOPLE ACTUALLY COME VISIT ME. At my house. I am no longer isolated from the world. One of my teachers came over for dinner the other night, and then my brothers came in and then i realized that i had the potential from dying of a swollen heart of joy.
4) I have been introduced to the magical world of Veronica Mars. Aka approximatly four hours of mystery, mayhem, and wonderment. If you are unfamiliar, it was a show on UPN about three years ago, probably sandwitched in between Moesha and reruns of Saved By the Bell: College Years. But its a good time had by all.
3) Being the Lucky Pierre in the middle of a Rebecca/Madeline sandwich
2) my new sofa that broke three seconds after sitting upon it. It took them more time to fix the sofa than it took them to make it... but its worth it.
1) umm... my family will be sitting in it. soon.
More to come later...
