Comment Consideration

Hellooooo friends. Time for some consideration from me to you, covering your comments and questions that might have gone unanswered. Just don't ask about belly shots. They haven't happened yet, and the likelihood of them happening this week is slim to none. My camera is currently in mourning from being forgotten on Christmas weekend.

I hate winter, cold, snow, ice, sleet, wind, and rain. And why, oh why do you have an SUV w/o AWD or 4WD? Jus' wonderin'...

That is a terrific question, Rebecca. The answer is simple. We haven't had snow like this in at least 2 decades, possibly 3, from the conversation I overheard yesterday. Our winters have dwindled to maybe a weekend or two of snow that has to be managed (read: light shoveling) each year and the trade-off in cost for getting 4WD and the insurance that accompanies it haven't been worth it.

Snow is like little frozen drops of love. I am not sure how you can hate on something that is so lovely.

Dear friend....I love you too. Don't you ever refer to snow as drops of love again or I might go BUY an additional swan and put it in the next gift bag. I can hate because I wanted my kids to get to their grandparents and it was touch and go....should have been a NO-GO, but we forged ahead and went anyhow. Blah.

Work usually slows down in December, but this year it has been as hectic as every other month. I need a break.

Thanks for stopping by (or commenting...maybe you've been stopping in and been silent. Which would be a nice change-up from the man I live with....silence...ahhh....). Where was I? Oh, yes...this break you speak of. If you find an extra one, please notify me.

Dear mom, why did you let me where glasses the size of texas and have bangs the size of the grand canyon? WHY?

Your mom must have been way ahead of the fashion curve because now it's THE THING to wear glasses the size of Texas...of course, I'm assuming (not really) that you're referring to sunglasses and not prescription (just trying to help mom out). And don't feel too bad. My mother let me have long, beautiful hair until SHE got tired of combing it and then I looked like a boy for the following decade. Hideous. Just hideous.

I hope I was doing something a lot more fun that driving around in a reclining chair on wheels like I was in my own dream last night! Seriously, my car was a reclining chair!

I really don't think this is a terrible idea. How comfortable would that be??? AND...bonus...you can't fit anyone else in with you, so you get to be alone. Ahhh. Peacefulness. Next reunion - we're drawing up business plans.

Love your announcement Tooj, did you really say that?

I had a couple people ask if I really said "my husband decided to knock me up" and the answer is yes. I did. I loved Michelle's suggestion to tell it like I had been here...so I did. It was refreshing to be so blunt as she has been so many other times. She certainly wasn't expecting such crassness from me, so that was a little perk in it all. ;)

Hmm, I can't shoot you, we're not really into guns over here. But I could build a bow and makes some arrows if you like?

I love that, despite the totally wrong nature of my suggestion to be shot, you still come through for me. It's not about WHAT I'm asking...it's about what you can DO to get it done. Bravo Mo, for being THAT man.

p.s. don't you think winter break between semesters ROCKS!? ; )

Ummm....helloooo...reality check to AnnaJayhawk.....I'M NOT IN SCHOOL ANYMORE! I'M OLD!!! I don't get a winter break between semesters. Shame on you for rubbing it in. Of course, even when I WAS in school, I worked through the breaks on campus anyhow. Part of being a poor workin' student assistant. :)
