There was a time when you both were little, it didn’t last very long.
I can’t believe it
We went to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix ….. AND I FELL ASLEEP!!!!!
I fell asleep.
I can’t even believe it.
And the thing is this, I love Harry Potter! Okay, so I’m still not done with the new book, but I’m working on it. And I love movies! I see practically every movie that comes out!
I woke up just in time to see the big scene at the Department of the Ministry where Harry hears his prophecy, but the rest of the movie is all the back of my eyelids. I can’t believe I fell asleep….
272 20 4 1
272: That’s what page I’m on in the Harry Potter book. What can I say? I’m milking it out and I haven’t had a lot of time to sit and read.
20: It’s my husband’s 20th high school reunion tonight. He’s very very nervous. I just hope I can find something to wear!
4: For the next 48 hours I will have 4 dogs. My brother is going away for the weekend and I said we’d watch his dog, and his sister-in-law’s dog too. I having a feeling my life will be a lot like a doorman, because I’ll be standing at the sliding glass doors to the backyard to let them in and out every five minutes.
1: Dull lawn mower blade that I forgot to take to work to get sharpened. Oops.
297: Which is what all those numbers equal and I’m so excited that I can finally add them up because last night I FOUND MY CALCULATOR!!!! I packed up for school on Tuesday and forgot that I put it in my laptop bag, so for the last three days I’ve been searching for my calculator and have been going out of my mind without it!
Locked out
(for Wordless Wednesday see the post that follows this)
I’m totally locked out of my own kitchen pantry! My husband installed a lock for the pantry door to keep himself from middle-of-the-night snacking. He’s been a sleep-eater for as long as I’ve known him, and we’ve tried everything to curb it without any luck –until he installed the lock a few months ago. So now each night he locks up the pantry, gives me the key, and I hide it somewhere so that if he goes into the kitchen in the middle of the night he can only stand there and look around, maybe unload the dishwasher or something (which he hasn’t been inclined to do).
Well last night we locked up as usual. He got up at 4 a.m. for work, and couldn’t get the door unlocked. I kinda remember him saying something to me as he was leaving about the lock being stuck, but it wasn’t my reality until I went to get Zoe her breakfast from the pantry and found that the key wouldn’t turn in the doorknob.
We are freaking locked out of our pantry!!
Which I suppose is why my tummy is grumbling right now since I had grapes and a pear for breakfast. Luckily there were a couple frozen waffles in the freezer for Zoe. Packing her lunch for camp today was interesting, she won’t be happy to find that she’s got two pieces of fruit rather than one fruit and a snack bag …. FROM THE SNACK BOX IN THE PANTRY!!!
I tried to jimmy the lock with a butter knife, and when that didn’t work I tried a spatula. Not that I thought it would work, but cripes burgulars always get in so easily in the movies! When that didn’t work I got out a hammer and screwdriver and took the pins off the hinges, figuring that the door would practically fall off then. Not so.
So I gave up.
My husband said he’ll work on it when he gets home from work. I’m hoping that the door will be open AND still intact. I suppose we could call a locksmith, I wonder how much that’ll cost and if they’ve ever had to unlock a pantry door before?
Wordless Wednesday: Photos from a moving car

The Boss is the one having the Valentine’s Day Party
Have you heard of Dr. Floyd? Dr. Grant? What about Dr. Steve? No??? Fidgert? *gasp*
Then you definitely need to visit The Radio Adventures of Dr. Floyd , and listen to a few of the shows (they are pretty short, only about 5 minutes). Here’s the deal: Dr. Floyd and Dr. Grant are the heros and they are traveling through time and space, following Dr. Steve and his sock-shaped assistant Fidgert as they attempt to steal historical artifacts so they can sell them on eBay. Trust me, it’s good.
It’s supposed to be a children’s show, but quite honestly, if there was a line to meet Dr. Floyd and Zoe and I were running to get in line, I would push my child out of the way so I could get there first. But don’t tell her I said that.
We were listening to Season 1 on CD over the weekend and Dr. Floyd and Dr. Grant had a sit-down with Al Capone, you know, the mobster ….. The Boss. Our heros were invited to The Boss’ Valentine’s Day Party, but they politely declined, then Al Capone said he’s going to go take a bubble bath. This is where it gets rather confusing for Zoe, and the conversation following with her went a little bit like the Who’s on first thing. She was repeating that the Boss was having a Valentine’s Day party, or something like that and we made the absurd mistake of saying it was Al Capone’s party. The lawyer came out in our child and she stood her ground: It was the Boss’ Valentine’s Day party. Al Capone was going to take a bubble bath. (Geez! Get it straight people!)
You try explaining to my daughter that Al Capone is The Boss. Go ahead, I double dog dare you.
