My son, the flippin' genius

Lately, I have been very down--no need to get into particulars. However, it takes a 6-year old to give perspective sometimes. We were playing frisbee in the backyard, and he says to me:
"Mom, don't you love today?"

"Yes, of course, but don't you want to know about tomorrow? Don't you think tomorrow will be good?"

"You don't know what's going to happen tomorrow. That's why I love today."

Bunco News Edition, April 6, 2010

Last night's events at the Hilltop mansion brought out the people in droves...for the first time (in a long time) all members of the Bunco News group were in attendance, some with allergy eyes and hairy legs. This was all ignored and the festivities began without fail.

Does your dog turn around in circles before laying down? Does it bite all of its own fur off, only to choke on the hairballs afterward? Does it insist on having all of its kibbles separated by shape and flavor? Then your dog might have OCD. Dog expert, Tracey, reported that some dogs experience this phenomena and their owners merely think it's a "cute quirk" and gleefully indulge their canine in its excentricities. Other experts, like Shannon, responded with "as soon as your dog demonstrates human-like idiosycracies and mental illnesses, it's time to get rid of the dog."

This just in....yes, Virginia, the carpet does match the drapes.

Guess who I saw? In this episode of Guess who I saw, we have reports the Jack Deveraux is starring the Fox's production of "Mama Mia." Tony G. is involved with select volleyball, and some A****** posted a picture on their A**book page. Sheesh.

Want to know how to get rid of warts? Visit "Wart Queen" located in the beautiful Gravois Creek valley. No genital warts, please.

No one knows how a fire broke out in Sunset Hills recently. Reports are sketchy an indicate a court jester, several women (who apparently were drinking), and Ty Pennington. Police have tried to investigate, but to no avail. A woman from the group was interviewed briefly. She had this to offer:
Reporter: Ma'am, what can you tell me about what happened?
Woman: Gee, I'm just not sure. First, we were entertained by this fellow wearing sweatpants, only he had one leg in two different pairs of pants. The other leg was tied around his waist. Anyway, this crazy music starts playing, and he starts juggling. Well, then the fire started, and only liquid we could find was a 12-pack of Bud Light Lime. Not wanting the beer to get warm and age prematurely, we drank that while we brainstormed what to do next. You know, cream cheese dip and hummus don't really help put out fires. I guess what we needed was some other liquid, but from where?
Reporter: I guess the mystery still stands. Thank you.
Woman: Sure. Now I gotta go--Ty Pennington is here to help draw up some new kitchen plans.


As sure as one chapter of a book ends, another begins. Dear R, we hope that in the next chapter, the heroine really kicks some butt with the help of some cute kids and a few good friends.
As for S--this hereby ends "The Year of Firsts." I went to the calendar I got when my Grandma died and flipped to yesterday:
"Speak your kind words soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late."
For today:
"God never put anyone in a place too small to grow in." In the most mundane and tedious tasks--like pushing a pencil, changing a diaper, or packing a lunch, it's those everyday things that mean a ton to someone else.

That's all from Bunco News!
