with two deaths in the family, mega meet work picking up, and just life in general, i haven't had the time, energy or thought process to put into this blog...here's hoping that that changes soon!
though next week i'm starting 'day care' here - and by that, i only mean i'm adding one kid to my bunch - the 6 week old baby of Jason's co-working pharmacist...i agreed to take him on when they were having some issues finding a day care they liked, so i'm giving a trial run until school is out...molly is BEYOND thrilled that 'baby peanut' will be here to 'bite her toys'...we'll see what she thinks after the first week!
so for today's blog entertainment, enjoy this KQOTD:
while watching Backyardigans this morning...
me: what are they doing?
porter: they are taking the pizza to tyrone, but he's going to get angry cause it's not what he wants.
me: oh, so you've seen this one before?
porter: yes, a really, really, really, really, really long time ago....
....like last week.

random things
well, if you're not on facebook, you probably haven't heard of the random things...
but i posted mine back in december (back when the list was only suppose to have 16 things on it, but now it's up to 25...)
and i thought today, hey, there's lots of people who read my blog that aren't on facebook...so why not read my random things here??
and i'll probably post some of the other 'notes' here, too...those of you in 'both places' - sorry you're getting a double dose.
so here's my 16 random things:
1. I love cottage cheese - but basically only the Meijer brand - small curd.
2. I used to be addicted to Diet Coke...but I'm not sure I actually feel better now that I gave it up (for the most part).
3. I can obsess like nobody's business. About just about anything. I probably should be medicated.
4. I never thought I'd be a stay-at-home-mom.
5. I've been to Disney World more times that I can count and I still get verclempt walking down Main Street USA.
6. Someday I will design and make a really killer gingerbread creation.
7. I have a very large collection of JFK memorabilia.
8. I never thought I liked to read until I found Harry Potter, Edward Cullen and any book by Phillipa Gregory.
9. I have very few 'real' friends. (you know who you are!)
10. I have a very strong desire to adopt internationally. I've had the desire for as long as I can remember (for a long time I was going to adopt a 2 year old Korean boy named Peter...he didn't really exist, that's just what I wanted...).
11. I think I spent the better part of my college career battling depression - I just didn't know it.
12. I could not live without my laptop. I wish I could...but I can't.
13. I wonder and worry about what it will be like to be the parent of a teenager (let alone 4 teenagers at one time!)
14. I think Ben and Jerry are some of the smartest men on the planet. As is Jon Lasseter.
15. I was disappointed when i couldn't find any Cap'n Crunch Christmas Crunch in the store today...there's still more than a week until Christmas - so help me, I better be able to eat my Christmas Crunch!
16. All four of my grandparents were still living when I was 30 years old.

neglect
despite the fact that my facebook status gets an overabundance of updating, my poor blog here has been neglected as of late...i do have great stories and pictures to share...hopefully i'll get back into the swing of being over here more often now that we're really back into the swing of things, and all signs of the holiday season are distant memories...
i have a little gem to share today - a KQOTD:
Mommie : you know what?
Molly: what?
Mommie: I love you.
Molly: I love you more.
Mommie: You love me more??
Molly: Yeah....(pause)....it's on TV.

Project 365
so i started a new scrapbooking project this year, along with a couple of my friends...project 365...a picture a day for a year. i have been doing quite well with it (remembering to take them almost everyday!), and thought that at the end of every month, i'd share a few pictures that i took.
