not of the snot variety

the other day, i was bragging to pat how i bought a book light for only $2 at christmas tree shops (a fantastic northeast store - think upscale big lots). his response was something like "cheap isn't necessarily good." i just grumbled in my head about how i saved money, but sure enough, that night when i went to use the light, it fizzed out after about ten minutes of use. Booger.

i have taken to wearing my reading glasses some days for fun. previous to this, the only time i would wear glasses was when i had my sunglasses, and i have this bad habit of sometimes staring longer than normal at other drivers when i'm in sunglasses because i figure they can't see me looking. well, i've caught myself doing this a few times in my reading glasses. Booger.

finally, who do you think looks more pregnant.

A. cute six month preggie friend


B. me: mom of four kids who keeps getting asked if she's pregnant, but ISN'T (sorry i made grace take this with fancy camera and must have had it on wrong settings. didn't look so blurry after we took it).

yeah, you guessed it, BOOGER!

"mom, you can go with my teacher and i'll stay home with japie and evan. daddy can go to work, and i'll be the mommy" -lily, in response to learning that she would be going to preschool next year instead of this year.

"mom, if you don't get rid of that smell soon, you're going to have to buy a new car." -gracie when it took me a couple of days to clean out my car after returning from a road trip.
