Bob

"Mom, can I have that nut?"

"We don't eat those, sweetie."

"But can I have it if I don't eat it?"

"Why do you want it?"

"So I can keep it and name it Bob."

    Thanks to your son for adopting Bob! There are millions of avocado pits awaiting adoption - maybe you can have a telethon and let other "Bobs" have warm,loving families!

    Did you know you can stick toothpicks into either side of the pit and have it hang into a jar of water. It will then (in theory) grow roots and make a really pretty plant.

    Hi Bob,

    We are really hoping you like your new family. They are well meaning and although it may take some time to adjust to their sense of humour it is worth it. I regularly spill my cup of tea down my pj's in the morning as I catch up on life in your new house.

    Anyway your Australian Auntie Sheila says a big "Hi" from our fruit bowl. She's being quite shy and hiding behind the apples right now but there are tacos for tea and she promises she will be joining us for them....

    He can let it share a room with Chunky.

    Sounds like you've had a crazy week-I hope today finds you well!

    I thought of you tonight. I was in a major hurry ... I wore a teal shoe and a black shoe...

I am being published!

I know! It just reeks of excitement, doesn't it?  I know what you are thinking. "Who would publish that woman's thoughts?" The answer is a lovely little outfit called www.blog2print.com. In other words, I haven't been discovered. I am no closer to being a published author than I was yesterday EXCEPT that by Christmas I will be the proud owner of my very own blog book! I know. It's a little anticlimactic but here's the cool part. My friend, Becki, found me entertaining and directed me to a blog called www.josikilpack.blogspot.com.  She posted a little coupon code for 20% off which was supposed to end last week. Apparently, the code is still good and I saved $14. That said, you know it isn't exactly the cheapest way to get published but it's the best price I could find on publishing my blog!  And it requires very little technical know-how.  And that, my friends, tickles my heart. And, for a small price of your integrity and dignity, I will share the ...

Wordful Wednesday and Clever Much? Rarely!

Sometimes my brilliance blinds me! Speaking of brilliance, before we continue this discussion, if you are my mother in law, stop reading. Walk away. At least until after Christmas. Seriously. My own mother doesn't read my blog. I think it has something to do with words like "socially awkward" and "mortifying." She knows me. She doesn't have to read about me. She can just pretend like I turned out normal. Anyway, if the mother-in-law has exited the website, check out what she's getting for Christmas! TADA! I'd like to give a special shout out to the internet and whatever site I was cruising through last week for planting this idea into my head. Usually not this creative and I definitely don't know where I got the energy to take the kids out for pictures. Or go to Walmart for the frame. And Robert's for the mat. Costco for the pictures.  Yeah, I painted the frame, too. So not my style. Anymore. I also ordered a canvas print for my husband but I...
