I've been...

...so excited that fall is here/coming.

I've made pumpkin waffles twice already. 

And I don't plan on stopping there. 

...hoping that my doc fixed up my spine for good.

A simple outpatient procedure over fall break 

may have changed my whole life for the better. 

...addicted to Rush Hour.

These plastic trucks and cars are starting to upset me

more than actual rush hour does. 

...reading this book.

So good. Don't let the creepy cover art deter you. 

...consuming Higley Hot Dogs.

Our family's form of currency.

...staring at this cute face. Not mine, the baby's. 

Unfortunately, the mustache pacifier is MIA. 

Now you're all caught up on what I've been doing.

Hopefully I'll have some good dreams to share soon.

As of late, they've been less than compelling.

Letters of Recommendation

Here are a few reasons why my students would recommend me as a teacher:

1. She is a nice teacher and she teaches me stuff very good.
2. She'll never leave you behind!
3. She loves teaching! (and owls.)
4. She never raises her voice.
5. When I rais my hand she coms to me right away.
6. She rocks!

and my favorite response is...

6. She rights fast.

and the best dad award goes to...

Hey Dad!

I wanted to say thank you 

for the AMAZING Dutch oven apple cobbler!

You're the best!

Love,

Boppy

P.S. It was totally worth poking a toothpick in there 20 times.

I wasn't smart enough to take a picture of my dad's cobbler.

This is the closest I could get.

It doesn't really even compare.

Helicopters and Heat

Recently, my middle-of-the-night activity mostly includes me waking up and thinking that it's morning. It's rather confusing and getting kind of old.  Last night, though, I slept all the way until morning!  Awesome! Plus, Mr. Sandman brought me a dream! Double awesome! So many exclamation points!!

I logged into facebook (or faceboard, as my mom would say) and opened a message.  I've received dream texts and dream emails, but this was my first dream fb message. 

The lengthy message was from some kid that I knew in high school.  He told me about how I had totally missed out on seeing a helicopter landing. It was so cool.  I really should have been there.  Why didn't I go?  Everyone there loved it.   

While reading, I thought, "I wasn't invited to the event where this took place, so how could I have been there?" and "I've already seen a helicopter land.  It was pretty neat, but it got dirt all over the place."

Basically, I wasn't very enthusiastic about the message. However, there was one line in there about how I was as "hot as magma." That's 1300 °F to 2400 °F, people.  I was hoping to provide a super cool hot picture of magma for you, but since magma is below the Earth's surface, there only seem to be pictures of lava, which is not as hot and would be a false representation.
