Misc...
- Yesterday, when Elijah was in a surly mood I invented a new game. It's called "try to look at Jonah without smiling." None of the boys could do it. (Note that Jonah himself must be in a good mood or it doesn't work.)
- Today as I was putting my contacts in, somewhere between my right eye and my left eye my brain forgot that I was putting contacts in, not taking them out. I would be embarrased to tell you how many times I jabbed at my eyeball before I came back to reality.
- Yesterday, Elijah told me I was Mary Jane.
- What did people use to make pie crust before shortening existed? Lard?
- At some point they are going to discover the mutant gene responsible for not being able to return library books on time. I have it.
- We are currently out of chocolate. Earlier, Sammy came and handed me a perfectly wrapped Nestle Treasure (the kind with caramel inside). Where he found this, I have no idea. For all I know it miraculously appeared in his little paw along with a voice telling him to bring it to me. Maybe I should of sold it on e-bay as miracle chocolate, but I ate it instead.

Lisa,
You have a great blog. I looked for a place to comment or email but didn't find one. Your list on turning 44 was great!
Making pie crust? What's that? LOL.
Uh oh...out of chocolate? I'm always out of chocolate so I know the feeling :)
Yup, lard. Ecch. Shortening doesn't get into our home, either, so for something like pie crust, I'd have to use Spectrum spread or, more likely, Spectrum's "non-hydrogenated shortening," which is purely palm oil, which I also use to make soap!
And I am still trying to process FOUR. BOYS. AT ONCE. My friend gretchen (gretchenknits.blogspot.com) has 7 SEVEN kids, and I'm simultaneously awestruck, jealous, and frightened!
see, that's why I'd be scared to wear contacts. (that, and I don't even wear glasses, so it'd be kind of silly for me to wear contacts!)
Ok, MJ...not sure I have attempted to make homeade pie crust. Things with flour, like crusts and breads just don't seem to turn out for me. I can NEVER run out of chocolate here. Just the other day I sent Zach on a special mission- Walmart. Chocolate. Mission accomplished;)
I have that gene too - it's mentioned in my 100 things as a matter of fact! (at least I think it is...)
