A-Day 2007

We celebrated A-Day this year a little early, because the pumpkin patch isn't open on Monday, the actual anniversary of the day Jooj was sealed to us in the temple. She had a great time, and only a few meltdowns. The cow train was a big hit, as was roasted corn. Oh, roasted corn. Nature's perfect food. I add salt, lemon pepper, and Parmesan sprinkle. Delish. Oh--and as always we are grateful Jooj is in our famdamily. And we are grateful for roasted corn.

Dear big fat man in the store,
Congratulations! Your three-inch chin piercing distracted me from noticing that you were big and fat! For about 30 seconds.

Dear disapproving old lady,
My child is crying because I am disciplining her. Because we have talked about how she needs to sit down if she wants to sit in the basket. She knows this. She is testing me. Do not give me dirty looks because my kid is throwing a fit. Better a fit now than burning your house down in ten years. Suck it.

Dear "cool" guy wearing Palazzo pants while walking around my neighborhood,
Palazzo pants are not even in style for women. So even if you were a woman, which you are not, you would not be cool.

Dear couple visiting from Lesbia,
Live however you want to live, but for the love of everything good and decent, walk faster or move out of the way!

Dear Jooj,
Thanks for bearing with me while we ran a ridiculous amount of errands. I am glad we are still friends. You are great.
