I'm still happy with the car. I just washed it and vacuumed out the corn bread that EJP obliterated in it yesterday.

Green Gables

"Mom, I never want to watch Anne of Green Gables again. I hate that movie."

Eva's Song

PS: EJP: "Mom, after I take a nap, if I'm a good cooperator and I don't fuss, can I
watch Eva on your computer?"

Aunt Erin!

Hangman

Last week, SKGP spent the day in the office, since our babysitter was playing bridge. A coworker Jessica spent some time entertaining her, by playing hangman.

SKGP won more matches. One of her secrets was to put up phrases that no one but a first grader at Rod Kelley Elementary would know.

The best one:

Monkey Bar Challenge

Jessica didn't get it.

Dog Bikini

On a walk yesterday, I noticed this shop where you can turn animal hair into yarn. Amazing.

Star Trek Interrupted

I was watching an episode of Star Trek (TOS) last night, which Tivo had picked up earlier this week. The episode was about halfway over, and we'd just returned from a commercial break. Then, mid scene, the screen changed to the G4 logo, with the message that G4 had moved. That is, they changed what channel represents G4.

Smack in the middle of a show.

Stupid Charter Cable.
