| I am currently having a "romantic interlude" with Avi (in the most platonic and ecumenical way). Many thanks to my Annie for pointing him out to me. If you haven't read his early works, what are you doing reading this?! Get thee to a library!
Jack's Toy for Today (last week it was Yellow Mug for 9 days straight) is an orange plastic monkey that plays "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" in an unbearably high-pitched tone (please note that only grandparents purchase such toys) every time you press it's face. Which is apparently happening often. Because from where I'm sitting, I've heard it 8 times in the last minute. Perhaps I will flush it down the toilet and hope I can find another Toy for Today.  (Have you ever been disappointed by the lack of a "sneaky" or "mischievous" smiley option?)

| Because I'm too sick to even sit up to write at the REAL computer, I'm relying on my stone-age-hampster-run laptop. I wonder if it will shut down because I just typed that.
....
nope. Ha! it's getting soft in its old age.
The apostle Paul says there's nothing new under the sun. I beg to differ .The things that come out of my mouth have probably never been uttered before. For example:
Last night. In bed. Nausea. Pain. Cough. Sniffle. Reach for Daniel.
Whisper: "Would you please pray for me?
I don't want to throw up.
I'm a ToysRus kid."
Pause.
Daniel: "This is all one long feverish blur for you, isn't it."
P.S. - What kind if cough medicin costs $92?!?!! I am horrified but too sick to fight the system. Someone take up the torch and rant about the cost of healthcare like a good liberal.

| I wish every Wednesday could be Karoline day. 
Jack has learned to make wet "mmm-mm-mmmm!" while chewing on his lower lip. He's also busy learning to scoot forward, but he hasn't figure out how to lift his chest off the ground yet; therefore, with each good leg thrust he sends his face straight into the floor. He disapproves.
I really should start baby-proofing the house. *gulp*!

| (Overheard at church because I'm a nosy person:)
20-something female: "Yeah, well, he's engaged now."
(Unheard response)
20-something female: "I know - just shoot me, please."
Amazing what insight is provided in just two sentences.
