Roundup

My evening ended on a lovely note, with cell23, aersi and verbena76 sitting around my kitchen table shooting the shit and eating bread until fairly late. Good times. I have forgotten how much I like stuffing people with food. :)

This morning has been hectic. This afternoon I hope will be a few hours of peace and work before the drükids descend, and then off and running on another fun-filled kid weekend. I also hope to get some work done in between the kid time. We'll see how that goes. But for right now, I'm going to brew up another pot of coffee, seeing as I barely had any this morning, heat up some of that bread, and chill out a bit. Good times.

fun with small people

• I've decided my newest exclamation of surprise is going to be "Great Flying Red Kangaroos of Europa!" Yep, we were playing Adventure again.
  
  
• There kinda is nothing better than sharing something you were crazy about as a kid with a new set of little'uns. To keep the two of them amused while cell23 made us dinner, I punched up some Wile E Coyote and Road Runner cartoons on my iPod via youtube. It became pretty apparent that neither of them had seen old Road Runner cartoons before then, and they absolutely loved them. Lizzy especially was giggling madly through all of them. Course seeing since I was a kid myself last I watched these shorts, i think i was struck anew by a) the fair amount of cartoon logic violence b) my own confusion regarding ACME's ability to stay in business despite what must be abysmal consumer reports on their products.
  
  Also I'm going to have "The Merry Go Round Broke Down" stuck firmly in my head for the rest of the night.

back home now... Soup, beading, Lirael, sleep. In that order.
