Boy that #2 is just full of interesting comments lately.
Here are 2 count 'em TWO just from today:
This one was directed at Beloved after he enforced the Snow Bear Stays Home Except on Overnight Visits to Someone's House Rule. After moments of pouty silence in the car..."Daddy you just don't have any room in your heart for love."
The next one was directed at me as we walked home from the grocery store. We are walking along and #2 is giving me some love pats on the stomach. Then....."Mommy your tummy looks like you are going to have a baby. I am not trying to say you are fat or anything...but your tummy does look like you could have a baby."
You had best believe I whipped out and completed the Pilates DVD tonight after a vigorous session on the treadmill.
If only she had said something BEFORE I consumed that half carton of Ben and Jerry's after dinner.
In the interest of equal exposure let us discuss #1 for a moment.
She is currently learning how to ride a bike sans training wheels. Yes I do recognize that this is a skill that should have been mastered a few years ago...but you must take in to consideration the fact that she has lazy parents. So stopping is a challenge for her. She tends to just try to jump off the bike instead of using the brakes. Something she comes by naturally. According to legend when I was going through the same learning process instead of stopping using the brakes I would steer in to the grass and jump off. She is making good progress. Only hit one parked car and tonight nearly rode straight on to a busy street. I have learned not to watch as she and Beloved practice. Unfortunately tonight I happened to look up just as she was about to go into the busy street. You probably heard me scream "OH MY GOD" at your house. Regardless of what state you live in. I gotta hand it to #1 once she gets her eye on the prize she sticks with it 'til she takes it home. So I imagine if her parents discontinue their lazy ways and keep up the practice sessions she will be riding in no time. If you see her ask about the Zen practices she uses to help her stop successfully using her brakes. It is facinating.
On a totally random note....check out this CD.
Be sure to listen to the samples. Everyone should have their veryown copy.

The True Meaning of Art
Bonjour Fair Reader(s)!
I know......it has been far too long. Alas my time has been occupied with all the events that seem to come at the end of the school year....more recently preparing for, taking, and returning from a 5 day trip to see Beloved's family in Ohio. That my friends is no small feat in my world. You see when I am preparing to travel my brain is overcome with the idea that if something is forgotten there is no way I can remedy the situation wherever it is I am going. I get some kind of weird amnesia-like syndrome that makes me think there are no stores wherever it is I am going. I'm working on it.
So this post will be short-ish because we just arrived home late this afternoon after spending way too many hours in a car.
I just want to share this little bit of information courtesy of #2.
The other night she was drawing in a journal-type book. I asked her about the artwork and she replied that the book was the true meaning of art. I then asked her what is the true meaning of art? #2 stated that it was hard to explain, but the true meaning of art is doing art the best way that you can in the way that you like.
Works for me.

Happy Mother's Day
To all you mommma's out there...hope you are "honored like you are a queen" as #2 says.
To all you out there who are not momma's...honor the one you have like she is a queen.
Honoring like a queen is easy.
Just bow down to all wishes of the queen-like person.
No big deal.

nope I did not expire
I finally recovered from my ailments. Took longer than I thought it would/should but what are ya gonna do?
Not post on your blog in my case.
Just haven't been feeling it here lately and there is little to share.
My beloved husband did give me an idea, and that should be coming through soon.
In the meantime just thought I would let you both know that I am still among the living.
Now I must go and eat.
