Best Sewing job EVER!

A recent text discussion with Christina...

Christina (out of nowhere, I will add); I know. I'm sewing the stupid thing now. It's Friday, I'll take video and send it to everyone.
Me (maybe she meant to text another friend who was in the recital's-coming-up-loop):  LOL Sewing what?
C: The costume.
M: For a dance, I assume?
C: Did you see the picture?
M: Nope. Send it!
C: I sent it twice, I'll try again.

(This is followed by about twenty minutes of us going back and forth about how I haven't received it yet even though she's tried multiple times through multiple channels including text, email, time travel machine and Morse code device. I finally get to see it, which is good because the suspense of it all was K-I-L-L-I-N-G me!)

M: FANTASTIC!  Did you sew that?!
C: Just the straps.
M: The straps are the best part! I was gonna say "look at those STRAPS!"
C: LOL

Yummy Milk

I was recently reading old blog entries and am finding myself quite disappointed that I have so seriously fallen off the wagon. If that makes sense. I'm not sure it does - I think I might be misusing that term. I mean that I have not been a very good blogger for a while.

I would make the claim to try and change that, but in truth, I have not been witnessing things that warrant writing lately. It's been a while since I have really.

Here's a cute little blib though; I spent sometime yesterday with my friend Christina, who is a month away from delivering twins (poor woman). When I arrived at their house, her daughter Ava, 2, was very excited to see me which was very flattering. In the past, she's been a bit reticent at my arrival. "You've been great leverage" Christina told me, "If she was being difficult I'd tell her you wouldn't come." Worked like a champ, she said.

Ava sat on my lap and we chatted a bit. I did something silly and she said, "You're a nut case". Sometimes she calls me a nut job, but this time, I was a nut case. A very verbal two year old, this one is.

My favorite came at lunch when she took a big gulp of her milk in it's plastic cup with cartoon characters and a straw and said "Delicious and nutritious!"
