Birthday Conversations
2 Weeks Ago
"I don't want a party for my birthday."
"Really?"
"I don't want a party."
"Okay, fine."
"Good."
1 Week Ago
"I don't want you to get me anything for my birthday."
"Are you sure? I think the kids might like to get you a little something."
"I don't want anything."
"Okay, fine."
"Good."
Last Weekend (shopping with daughter)
"Shall we pick up Daddy a card?"
"Well, you know he did say he didn't want anything for his birthday."
"Yeah, that's right."
Yesterday
"I was surprised that no one got me a birthday card."
"You said you didn't want anything."
"I didn't say I didn't want a card."
"Sigh."

Lunar Lunacy
Did anyone catch it? You know, about a month or so ago?
That was when NASA decided to bomb the moon. Yes, BOMB the moon! You know, that lunar orb so bright in the night time sky? The same one that affects the cycles of women on earth?
Since that time I've had 2, (yes 2) periods! Thanks a lot NASA for interfering with my cycle!

The following is a conversation relayed to me, by my daughter, between her and a friend.
Daughter: "You know how every person kinda has a different scent?"
Friend: "Yeah, it's weird! Usually it's how their home smells."
Daughter: "Yeah, like you smell like fabric softener."
Friend: "Oh, really? Thanks. You smell like soup."

It's Election Day!
Exercise Your Right to Vote!
Which brings me to my funny election story.
Yesterday, I had one lone election sign, for a good friend of ours, in the back of my yard facing a well traveled road.
I left to go to the grocery store and upon my return, a mere 30 minutes later, this is what I saw.
Can't leave those wily election signs alone for one moment!

Last, but certainly not least, I want to thank you all for your very kind comments in reference to yesterday's post on the kids' Halloween costumes. In case you are wondering, I did make those scarves the boys were wearing. It was relatively quick and easy (if you don't count my initial miscalculation ending up with a 5 foot long scarf!). Maybe I should do one as a giveaway? What do you all think?
