Friday, June 06, 2008
Today's Don's birthday. I figured with my schedule the best gift I could give him was time. So I took the day off. We ate breakfast out, walked on the beach, had an iced tea at a coffee shop - ahhhh it was nice.
I took Becca and Sarah shopping the other night while Don was at the HOA meeting, so they could pick out gifts for Dad. Here's what they got him:
Becca:
- post-it notes (cuz he is always complaining we never have any)
- chocolate (cuz Becca is always complaining we never have any)
- a book light (she originally wanted to get him a lightbulb, but there were too many varieties and she felt she was going to choose one that "wasn't his favorite kind")
- a really big spatula (the kind you use to flip burgers on the grill)
- salt & pepper shakers (the kind that grind the salt and pepper fresh for you - Don likes fresh pepper)
- a model Corvette car
A MINUTE AND 40 SECONDS OF MEMORIES

Here's a bunch of events that happened over the springtime... all mashed together.
Baba's visit - during which we rode on the Duffy Boats in Newport Beach with my cousin Steven, his wife Marci, my Uncle Allan and Aunt Phyllis.
Mother's Day - during which we visited Balboa Park and some nice museums.
And my Grandpa Dave's stone dedication - during which we enjoyed very much my nephew Zach and my niece Nora becoming a preschool cousin's club.
OK the photos don't really go together - except they're people I love and days I'll remember.

MONDERWEAR
Monday, June 02, 2008
OK tip!
If you have an anally retentive child, do NOT I repeat DO NOT GET a set of underwear that is 1 for each day of the week.
"Mom?"
"Yes, Sarah?"
"Can I wear the same underwear to bed that I wore today to school?"
"Ummm... NO!?"
"How come?"
"Because... EWWWWW!!!!"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean - you know - EWWWWW!!!!!!"
"But Mom. They aren't dirty!"
"Sarah. You just took a shower. You cannot put your clean butt in dirty panties."
"But. I'm confused and I don't know what to do. The new underwear is sooooo nice, and it feels good."
"OK so put on another pair of them."
"I can't. It's not Tuesday yet."
"OK so what do you think is going to happen?!? You are going to hear a voice in the bed: SAAAARAAAAH. THIS IS YOUR BUTTTTTT. I CAN'T SLEEP BECAUSE IT'S NOT TUESDAY YET, I CAN'T GO TO SLEEP TILL MIDNIIIIIIGHT."
"Well no. But shouldn't I wear the Tuesday underwear tomorrow?"
"Oh for God's sake. OK put on some other day. Like Saturday. Saturday's party day. Par-tay!"
"Mom what are you saying? I don't understand."
"I'm saying - get a clean pair of underwear. On your butt now."
And it went on for 10 more minutes. She's wearing a pair of the old underwear to avoid day conflict. And now I need to go and buy another packet of days of the week underwear so there will be an AM and a PM pair.
My own fault, I have lived with this person for 10 years.
