• Smorgasbord of Updates

  Do you really even know what a smorgasbord is? Geez kids, didn’t you ever watch (the old school) Charlotte’s Web?

  Meeting McCain
    As most of you political nuts know, John McCain is announcing his running mate in the city we’re living in at a large rally on Friday. Guess who scored tickets? Yep. It’s me. I’m hoping he’ll have a Q&A session like I always see on TV. I doubt it, but I’d really love to hear him answer some questions put forth by the people.  I watched FOX news’ reports on the history of McCain  that was on last week. They had one on Obama too and I missed it. I keep hoping they’ll re-air it. I learned SO much about McCain and I’m really getting  excited to put my vote in his corner. I realize I still disagree with him on a few minor issues, but I’m sold on his character now. By the way, this is the most clever non-violent ad I have EVER seen in the history of ads. AWESOME.
  

  Baby Update:
  Tomorrow is the 12 week mark and I’ll post a new baby belly pic. It’s actually starting to look like I’ve eaten too many cupcakes. I’ve become increasingly convinced it’s a girl as I can’t stop eating french fries. Arby’s knows me by name since their curly fries have called me every night this week. I finally was able to eat red meat for the first time in 11 weeks. I had the biggest freakin Wendy’s baconator , all smothered in beefy, cheesy, bacony goodness. My pre-pregnancy diet is screaming like a baby inside of me.   I’ve already started ebaying cool nursery things.  Whoa. I guess the transition is complete. I’ve officially gone from “babe” to “mom”. I just used “cool” and “nursery things” in the same sentence.

  51 days
  Only  one month and 21 days until we’re back in Texas for good. I’ve been mapquesting different routes each night out of boredom and anxiety. Meanwhile, computer usage is sometimes limited due to all the outprocessing activities we’ve been doing. (Primarily, seeing all the sights of Dayton before we leave.)

  LOL-lympics:
  I’ve recommended it, but it’s not enough. Check out theblackspiderman’s latest post. Anyone who’s a fan of Lolcats knows what this is all about. http://www.xanga.com/theblackspiderman/671096934/lol-ympics.html

  Fishing with a two year old:
  Interesting to say the least.
   My daughter thinks if she throws enough rocks in the lake, she’s bound to hit at least one fish. 
  “I’m onna cats it mommy! I’m onna cats a fiss!” 
  

  Now anyone who’s ever fished before knows you have to remain very quiet to lure a fish close enough to your area  to catch it. Especially if you cast like a girl and can’t get your lure more than fifty feet from where you’re standing. Caity, however, has decided that calling the fish to her is  a more effective method.
  She’s rather inventive, perhaps she knows what she’s talking about.
  Speaking of what she’s talking about, let’s play a rousing game of “Kids Say The Darndest Things!”
  Things overheard from the mouth of my girl in the last 24 hours: (I’ll translate it so you can understand her twoish accent)
   ”I’m SUPERCAITY! Just like Super Batman, Mommy!”
   ”No Daddy, it’s my belly. Don’t take it.”
   ”I’ll kick your butt.”
   ”Silly daddy, you’re  tarded.”
   ”Mommy, your name not Manda. Your name Mommy.”
   *cat growling, Caity laying on top of  said cat* “Aww! Kitty cat singing mommy!”
   ”What a b*tch.” (apparently daddy didn’t know Cait was listening when he was cursing at the democrat arguing  on TV.)
    “That silly Daddy… *sighs* I wove him.”
