Miscellany

Making mommy proud. Son spent an hour or two last night creating a Lego scene. As you can see here, Darth Vader is choking out this guy while his ninja henchman stands guard. Over yonder where you can't see is a group of 3 storm troopers roughing up some guy in a green shirt...and two other's in the middle of nowhere who appear to be doing the "goose step".
Pfffha! That's what I say to all those who suggest the boy is violent. Creative...yes, creative is what I shall call it.


I like to call this look, "You know it's sad to take photos of your cat like this right? I mean, I'm a cat and even I know this is sad."
The rain continues to fall. Which means the trees and plants continue to live. It also means I officially have cabin fever and if hubby isn't careful I may end up with yet more "ideas" for what we can do around the house. Dangerous. Grandma insisted the boy get a new dresser. His old one still functioned but it was broken and chipped in a couple place. Because that's what he does...he breaks and chips things. Hubby and I are taking bets on how long the new one lasts.....anyway, I put that in his room and then decided to overhaul daughter's room while I was at it. As a result we have the extra tables in our hallway. Our very small hallway. I almost walked face first into it today. I'm pretty sure the cat did last night when hubby sent her sailing from the room.
Oh, and I have also decided that this is the best idea/invention every made by the hands of man. Ever.

Words of 'wisdom' from the Rummy One (and various people I've stolen from)

I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize.
Some people are like slinkys; they serve no useful purpose, but they do make you smile when they tumble down the stairs.
When I was a kid we had a sandbox. Actually it was a quicksand box. I was an only child...eventually.
It's a mistake to think you can solve any major problems with just potatoes.
You know what I miss? I miss the old days, when I'd think up a sinister scheme for world domination and friends would show a little emotional support. I mean come on now....really.
Let me make one thing perfectly clear to you: I have absolutely no idea how this sentence I'm currently writing is going to finish. When and if it does, I can only hope it makes some kind of coherent ceramic pineapple vibraphone.
