  1. Tried to dock our 41 foot sailboat for the first time in the 7 years we've owned her. It did not go well. Thankfully, no boats were injured in the making of this post.

  3. Funniest thing ever- the train conducter refusing to give my 8yo the student fare without a student id. Clearly he could be a 3rd grade drop out....

      Or a prodigy. He could be a hedge fund manager trying to scam the student rate. Can't be too careful.

  5. PSA: Predominate is a verb. Predominant is an adjective.

      I wish somebody would tell the editor of our local newspaper. Keep up the fight!

      I couldn't wait to get to Alexander Hamilton in US History so we could use Lin-Manuel Miranda's Hamilton Mixtape.

  8. Why has my normally aloof pet turned into Velcro Kitty?

      I know! I can't help thinking of that nursing home cat who always knew who was about to die. Not that this cat would care, though.

      It's like I'm under house arrest with a furry ankle monitor. Very odd.

      Carl Sandburg would ask, was the one thing you told DS he must not do was put chocolate up his nose? :)

  12. At Dh's company's Christmas party ds4 out of the blue announced to Dh's boss "My Mommy makes BABY MILK for my sister!"

  13. I'm so suggestible. Browsing through Cyber Monday sales, I see a "gourmet melon knife," "cuts thick rind on melon, like a hot knife through butter." Suddenly I've always wanted one. Then I start thinking, isn't cutting through a melon with a sharp knife always like cutting through butter? All shopping tabs now closed.

      Amazon is close to convincing me that I need a panini press. I'll try to follow your example and hold firm.

  16. I had a list on the kitchen counter of things I needed to do for ds17's birthday dinner tonight. One was "make tea." I just noticed that beside it, dh wrote "WOOHOO!" :D

  19. Resisted the urge to yell, "Woo!" when I got carded buying wine. I've almost turned 21 twice.

      Nice!

      Though I did misread your punctuation as an "l" and wondered why you'd shout about wool at such a time.
