Your Marching Orders

I sense a great disturbance in the force... and as such I wish to make the following things known to all: Firstly, a very Happy 1st Birthday on Friday to little Alex, son of Wskrz. Ginny Grace says to tell you 1 is the new 0 and go easy on the cake. Also I've noticed that several of my newest blog friends haven't updated their blogs recently. To me this is disturbing be a) it means they have lives and b) I cannot therefore vicariously live through them if I remain uninformed...such injustices must be stopped. Finger update: swelling down, mobility solid, bone a wee sore to the touch, however the limited mobility of yesterday cost me in my paper, rock, scissors sparring match with Gracie. I did not do well, despite the fact that she's one and has no idea what paper, rock, or scissors IS and is therefore rather easy to beat. However I was sort of stuck only playing 'rock' and she managed an accidental 'paper' when opened her hand flat...so therefore my winning streak is over. The only positive about this is that she'll be too young to remember and when I one day challenge her again (after I've shaken off the humiliation) I can just pretend like it NEVER happened. And now you are all in on the conspiracy of silence, thus binding us as a unit, a family, over the 'secret' a picture now Here's a few more things I require... A new post from Life In The Pumpkin Shell, because they are always filled with whimsy and pictures I need to find out what happened to Laura's BonTon blog which was down when I checked earlier...damn those servers...it's bad enough I just can't drive to her house and give her a hug anymore because she's so far away, but to be cut off by probably some nerd in a server room...makes hulk mad....HULK ANGRY...Hulk calming...hulk enjoying cupcake and a latte...hulk...good. There was a news report on CTV tonight that apparently cereal is now added to things that might kill you. So....let's review our list of what can kill you: smoke fire earthquakes violent crime meat eggs milk nuclear weapons the terrorists water SUVs not driving an SUV air no air clowns a midget hopped up on ludes the President (but he just has others do it for him) an angry member of your family an angry member of someone else's family an angry girlfriend an angry wife, who's angry at the girlfriend drinking too much smoking too much eating too much Vegas (where you drink, smoke and eat too much) crayons (it's a long story) a herd of rampaging buffalo OJ- the juice AND 'the Juice'- that's a two-fer and now cereal there's more but I now have carpal tunnel which can't kill you... yet I haven't seen the new list.
