  1. Finished my first term in nursing school. I am 1/5 a nurse! On vacay until term 2 begins in August. Margarita time!!

  2. Just realized we didn't make it to watch any of the Nat'l Fencing Championships this week.  My excuse will be that it was too hot to think.

      No, but it seemed like we should go since it was right here in town.

  5. What a lovely way to wake up. DH screaming GS4's name because he can't find him in the house. Fortunately we found him in some cabinets before calling the police. Later today I think we'll be making sure he can

      She's at the American Art Museum doing lighting for the exhibits for the entire time. And, yes, excited for her, but pity party for me that she's totally independent these days.

  11. Interpersonal relationships can be so challenging!

    1. GailV

      GailV

      Yes, they are challenging. Maybe that's what makes them so rewarding.

  12. Just because a packet of seasoning says taco seasoning, don't assume it's regular in any way. It might be the flavor of Dante's Inferno!

      Love the phrase "the flavor of Dante's Inferno"! I might be borrowing that. Good luck with your mouth's recovery.

  13. Got the new edition of the WTM for Christmas!

  14. Why can't high school biology be enjoyable and not quite so technical?

    1. GailV

      GailV

      Then there are the kids who think the technical bits ARE the fun stuff.

      Now I want to know what she did with the next line -- rhyme Ford with ... gourd? Make the Ford purple and gold?

  18. dd came home smelling just a bit LOL. Those are her hands in the black gloves. She's an expert skunk handler. https://www.instagram.com/p/BIIn8Cygp-R/

  19. I've come up with the title for my first book: "Parenting--Expect the Unexpected" :P

  20. My DD is arguing with me that pi is not an unending nonrepeating number. Because, you know, her 6th grade brain and reasoning skills are obviously superior to centuries of mathematical geniuses and thought.

      Ugh, "scifi" not "scuff" short story. Autocorrect strikes again!

      I remember a scuff short story about a group of kids who were stuck on a space ship and were supposed to work on figuring out things like that -- the highest number. Since they were going to be in space for the rest of their lives they had nothing else to do but work on this type of thing hour after hour, day after day.

      I understand. When older dd was 5 she threw a tantrum about the indefinite article "an", which she was sure did not and should not exist. She eventually went on to excellent scores in English on the ACT, so she apparently got over it.

  23. Dd: I want to start an interior decorating line that's called "The Well Trained Mind Palace"

  24. I hate unwrapping Nestle Crunch eggs. But apparently not enough to stop eating them!

    1. GailV

      GailV

      I'm reading a book (fiction) where one character talks about slicing chocolate eggs with an egg slicer. Now I wish we had some around to try it out.
