Do you think I'll get in trouble for this photo?

no not this one - (although, scary, right? i really need to get a nice one up. quick.)

this one.
it was HIS idea! I swear. and I didn't realize that fletch had taken them as separate photos until later, but it kind of works. you know in a why-does-that-lady-have-a-crazed-look-in-her-eyes? oh-that's-why kind of way.

the past few weeks have been foggy. Not the-weather-is-foggy foggy but my-brain-is-foggy foggy. How many sentences can I make in this post, do you think, with dashes between the words?

we have had two cars most of the month thanks to the Generosity of Friends, and craig's hours at work have been Worse than Ever Before (i think capitalizing Important Words is more fun than dashes. it's very AA Milne. Who was awesome.) However those hours are supposed to go back to normal very very soon (yes, i HAVE been saying this for several weeks now. this time it's the truth) and there will be much joy and rejoicing in the land.

the boy being gleefully strangled in the photo above is home sick today, with a yucky stomach. naturally his younger brother cannot abide going to school without him and as soon as he heard that his brother was sick he Declared a Sore Throat and Began Coughing Uncontrollably. i would have sent him to school anyway but i know that kid and he would have convinced them that he was dying and would have been sent right back.

It seems like everyone is sick right now.

Dear Everyone, Get Better Please. Love, Me

Hey guess what! I've been All Productive today:

2 dishloads of dishes

4 loads of laundry

vacuuming

cleaned off the balcony

and guess what? it hasn't seemed to do anything for the state of disarray in this apartment. GAH!

so I suppose I ought to go and trudge through some more. here I go! (can you FEEL the Enthusiasm?)
