Fine, I can make the apple pie, I have some locally grown apples. I can also make the whole berry cranberry sauce. But, I have never been able to replicate my grandmother's mincemeat pie. I don't like the stuff in the can/jar but I can make the hard sauce that goes on top of the pie.

My fathers favorite: "Boy, you better tell the truth, 'cause you're too dumb to be a good liar."

Sadly enough he was right on the money.

Sourland, the truthful

We have the same problem.

I'm a bad liar too. The only reason I always tell the truth.

Em is on her own. I have to go pick up my older child. She got to learn what it is like to work a 13 hour day today. I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to scrape her off the sidewalk.

I have a grand daughter who was just faced with that sort of 'reality'. She whined just a little knowing her audience, and I replied, "Well, all the more reason to work with your head rather than your back."

Well, I picked up DD from work. She was begging me to make her a sandwich because she was too tired.

She was asleep 2 minutes after eating it.

My daughter is off to army bootcamp next month so she decided to find a job to help her get into shape. She took a job pushing carts (by hand, no machine there) at a grocery store. She has been pushing carts and loading groceries for customers for the whole 13 hours. They only gave her a 30 minute lunch and no breaks.

Did I mention she has do it again starting tomorrow morning?

I have to say Taz, your daughter must be one tough gal. I've done a job of that sort before, minus the cart-pushing. Some of those boxes of stock...

I actually enjoyed it immensely. I would love to get a job like that again! Helps me sleep at night.

(And part of it might be because I do hardly any physical activbity otherwise.

)

Excerptd from the party conversations:
"The grinch sounds like a preppy girl..."
"I'm nobody, she's everybody, and you're the other guy."
"Dang it!!! Alyssa got my paper."
"Why are we talking about wrist hair?

"

We played "what if?" and I thought of you guys. I wrote 'what if we all had to wear buckets on our heads because our uncles said so?' On my paper.

Actually she used to be quite squishy. My dad telling her to become a secretary and marry a rich man because she is "just a girl" motivated her to do exactly the opposite. Maybe someday I will tell her that that is why he said it.

I'm glad you made it back safely. It sounds like you are bouncing off the walls. How much candy did you eat? Did you wear your bucket?

Yep. All the other Cinderellas got to stay out until midnight, but this one had to come home early to babysit the evil stepsister.

How much candy? Uhh... I think three truffles. Making them is more fun than eating them.

And I took my bucket off when we got there since it turned out to be a hen party.

I wonder what the evil stepsister says about you?

So, what did the other hens think about the bucket law?

That I'm a social misfit who needs a makeover and a boyfriend...

Nothing new.

The response to the "what if" question was "Then the buckets would usually be filled with tears 'cause we'd be so sad."

I didn't explain any more than was nessacary. (See above "social misfit" comment.
