    Thanks a lot, Shelli and SusiePie, you wierdos!

    Rules
    1. Go write (six, I think?) weird facts/things/etc. about yourself in my comment box and on your blog, then tag six more people!
    2. Then leave a comment that says “You are tagged” in their comments telling them to read your blog.

    • The second toe on my left foot is longer than my big toe. I’ve heard that means I’m supposed to be rich – whoever made that up is a big fat liarpants.
    • I cannot have naked toenails. Iew iew iew, they’re ugly! I took a photograph of my naked toenails over the weekend, and I’m afraid to post it. I picture all of you simultaneously vomiting, or something.
    • I get sweaty palms driving over bridges. They make me nervous.
    • There are so many naturally strange things about me, I can’t think of anything unusually wierd for this thing.
    • I turn a lot of things that I say to the girls into songs or rhymes. They think I’m crazy – and they’re right.
    • I rarely go out. Seriously. I can’t be the only person who thinks people out in public are just rude, and should have their licenses revoked. I’d rather not subject myself to even one moron like this. I’ll stay right here in my house where it’s safe and I can order whatever I want online, thankyouverymuch!

    There. I’m officially wierd x6.

    This post is tag free – let me know if you do it though, and I’ll link you!

    Cait collects birds. These are Audubon birds have official bird chirps when you squeeze ’em, and they’re neat. They don’t sell them just anywhere, we get them when we go to the zoo. Friday, she got a new one, a Lorikeet. Saturday morning, she arranged her collection near the front window and proceeded to call the Robins to the yard with her Robin. Once there were a dozen or so Robins hopping about the yard, she made a single call with the Red Tailed Hawk that scared them all away. Had she left my recollection of the series of events alone, she would have been a highly intelligent bird watcher. A little mean? Yes, but I really did make her out to be a 9 year old with a developed intellect about the matter.

    Now, in the middle of bragging about my oh-so-smart-daughter, she corrects me. “There were only 4 Robins. And they were out in the street, Mom. I was trying to get them to come to the yard but they wouldn’t come, and then I tried the Hawk.”

    My version is so much better. She was The Aussie Front Yard Birdwatcher. Put on your best Crocodile Hunter Voice, and follow me to the front window for a moment, would you?

      “Shhhhh today, we’re gunna have a good look at the call of the Rawbin. The rawbin is a supah cool red-breasted buhrd (fluffs up chest) that eats wuhms by snatchin’ them up right out of the ground!

      Here we’ve got a stuffed Rawbin from the Audobon collection of buhrds. They’ve spent hawrs and hawrs puhrfectin’ the call, and if you’ll have a lookie whall I squeeze, you’ll see Rawbins are really attracted to this stuffie. :squee!:

      Ohhh lookie that! There’s dozens of ’em! Rawbins are just flocking to the yahd! Let’s give ‘er one more good squeeze. :squee!:

      Wow, that’s incredibule! The rawbins are all ovah the yahd now, trying to figyah out where their mate is.

      Now, we’re gunna pull a fast one on these Rawbins. See what I’ve got heah? This is a hawk. A Red Tailed Hawk to be exact, the most ferrrrocious rawbin-eating buhrd of prey on the block. Just LOOK at this red tail. Idn’t he a beaut? Aww now, have a lookie back out in the yahd, and pay close attention to the Rawbins.

      I’m gonna give this Hawk’s butt a nice squeeze right about heah, and he’s gonna make a noise :sqwau: :squau: now LOOKIE! Wouldjya lookie that – see that? Did you see those birds scattah?

      Phew, holy moly, that’s just incrEDable. Those birds heard that hawk and it sounded SO real, they just flew-way, jus like that. That was neat!”

    Now see? My version is much bettah, aye mate?

    Disclaimer: This may not make any sense to anyone but my sister. Not intended to offend anyone with a supah cool Australian voice.

  • Smash

    2006

    So. Jay’s rash is looking great, huh? Considering it’s been just a couple of days since she saw the doc, I think it looks just smashing! Pardon the pun. It turned out to be contact dermatitis, caused by a viral infection – the infection presented as a rash, and she’s been on prednesone & steriod cream for a couple of days now.

    First thing this morning, though, there was a little-voice-a-screamin, at the top of her little lungs, “not againnnnnnn!” And I went running. And there was blood. And it was dripping.

    She smashed her thumb in the bathroom door. She didn’t just smash it a little, there’s a pool of blood beneath the nailbed, and the skin just below the cuticle was all broken and bloody. Thankfully, I kept the padded aluminum stint for little fingers that we used when Cait had stitches in her finger years ago (that’s another story for another time), and I was able to fix ‘er all up here at home. I’m having a hard time getting her to put it on an ice pack though, and it’s throbbing as you can imagine.

    I asked her nicely if I could just start calling her Smash, and she said “NO!” so forcefully that I think she’d kick my butt if I continued to do it. She definitely has my angry face. heh!

    Also see my photoblog:

    I love pink, and I love gerbera daisies! I picked out three shades of pink gerberas and planted them right in front of the house so I can see them first thing every day. As is pretty standard in my life, I notice things tend to have the shape of a heart in them. Can you see the heart shape in this photograph?

    I’m hoping to get around to all of the 13’ers who visited me yesterday, so if I haven’t seen you yet – I’ll see you soon!
