my kids are having a "blanket picnic" watching garfield right now eating their dye free breakfast.

can i gripe about something? i'm going to anyway because i feel like it and it irritates me. FOOD DYE! what is the point? it's banned in europe so why is it necessary here? the amount of color on that birthday cake yesterday....ugh. yes, i am a pastry chef, but there are ways to make things pretty without making kids mouths turn blue and green. gross.
 
The DH just made me four telescoping rods with bases---to hold up the netting in the run. Maybe I can FIIIIIIIINALLY fix the coop & run from the dust storm that made it all yucky. I have been *embarassed* every time a chicken friend has come over.

I also managed to hula hoe 75% of the EVIL nightshades up this morning. I started on percent # 76%, and stepped into an ant pile. After a few minutes of what grandma described as "pure hiliarity" I gave up on yardwork for the day. The chickens eat their own poop. They don't care how the yard looks.
 
Ask the new guy Critter, maybe he'll take em...

And by the way, the "new guy" is a gal.

I have gotten a chuckle as seeing me referred to as "Critter" . That was actually a nic name in High School!

So sorry Miss Critter...

When Tammy & I got married we combined her three and my three. That was 4 teenagers and 2 young'lings. TV was a major source of friction

& sucked up life.

We (she & I - the kiddies were vehemently opposed!) agreed to turn off the idiot box. No cable, no antenna, just a (at the time) VCR to watch movies.
The results were miraculous! Cut way down on the fighting / friction & more social interaction. (BTW - that first year and a half of "blending the familes" was really, really rough!

We (nine years later) still have no broadcast TV or cable in our home. Don't miss it. Although when we go away together (anniversary usually) we turn it on for a a few minutes just to remind ourselves that we are not missing anything.

I am not contemporary with my colleagues - when they ask if I saw a show last night I have to remind them.

It took me several years to figure out why my students would start chanting Jer-ry! Jer-ry! Jer-ry! whenever a classroom fight was brewing.

My parents are from Detroit. Everyone in my house is "HEY YOUS GUYS!!!"

You betcha! I grew up in MI. I'm always fearful that phrase or something like it will come out of my mouth. When I call home, it's like I'm talking to someone on the set of Fargo.
