M = Megatree Maker
The 2010 Grand Lighting was last night. Oh…my…gawd. The boy has outdone himself. Craziness…sheer craziness.

I’m the Ebenezer Scrooge of Thanksgiving
I’ve been a bad blogger lately. Bad blogger. No cookie!

Hats off to Zozer
Zoe and I were eating lunch together Sunday and she told me a story about one of her experiences at school. I’m not sure why she chose this particular time to tell me, but I loved the story and so I don’t really question the machinations of her mind.

Another Zoe question
On the way home from school last night, Zoe and I were talking about her day as we always do. She is very excited as Monday is a pajama party day at school and they’re going to watch a movie and have hot chocolate and smarshsmallows and Junior Mints. Then she was quiet for a minute, and then out popped some of those questions only children ever ask.

Kindergarten Tour
A few weeks ago, we received a postcard from the school at our church, inviting us as prospective Kindergartner parents to come tour the school and meet the principal. I promptly entered it into my calendar and RSVP’d. I knew M would be in Rhode Island, but I figured that since he went to school there himself, it’d be no big deal if he missed it.

Fluser
Wouldn’t it be lovely if I could sit here and tap out everything I accomplished this weekend? Feel full and fat and proud of myself? Yeah. That would be great.

Rearview
Sometimes the view in the rearview mirror is better than what's ahead.

Sweet!
Checked off another item on the "I should do that some day list."On a residential street near our home and my work is a house with a small sign in the front yard. All it says is HONEY. I usually go flying right by and so it took a couple of passes (over weeks or months or maybe even a year) to realize there is a small bookstand in front of the house with jars of honey. Then it took a few more passes, at much slower speeds, to see a small cash box on top if the bookstand. This idea, this concept of selling homemade honey through the honor system, is so cool to me. I always thought, "I need to stop by there." I love honey anyway and use it nearly every day in my tea. For awhile, until my local grocer started selling local honey that's not mass-produced, I was cajoling Stef into bringing me honey from the Ann Arbor farmer's market. I guess you could say I'm a honey snob. Tip from me to you: avoid the stuff in the plastic bear-shaped bottles. Bad, bad honey. So I'm pretty keen on small-operation, locally-produced honey. Today, on the way back from lunch and on a whim, I finally stopped at the Honey House and bought a jar. Plan to have a cup of tea tonight and see how it is. Mmmmmm, honey.
