Some off-season dental work?

Looks like someone in Edmonton is trying to make the Oilers look better.

Countdown!

Tonight I was sent a link to download this pregnancy countdown thingy-majigy. It's a little freaky, actually. According to this, we have 56 days or 1,322 hours until launch date. (It also counts out the minutes & seconds, but let's not even go there!) It has told me that we are 80.333% 'done' and that the baby's irises are reacting to light now. (All the senses are up & running, although I guess smell might be difficult what with the lack of air and all.) I guess I'd better get busy with these last 79,295 minutes - still have a crib to put back together (assuming all the pieces are still around), some baby items to buy (little things like a car seat), and some decisions to make - doula, no doula? A NAME? (Just minor issues, really!) Crap, down to 79,293, I'd better run...
Tick...tick...tick...

Smiles of the Week


So, Jaela was having a pointless "argument" with a friend about where to put certain toys away and I finally said to her, in mock Dr. Phil tone, "Jaela, do you want to be right, or do you want to be friends?"
Without hesitation, she says, "I want to be right!"
Ahh - not the 'right' answer, but can't fault her honesty. ;)

For those of you who don't know her, this tells you quite a lot about her personality. I have (almost) learned to never ask her a question I don't really want the answer to. This includes "What have you been using those scissors for?" "What just fell in the toilet?" and "What kind of bug is in your hand now?"

Second best quote came in the car after she sneezed with a mouthful of crackers in her mouth. "Ewwww!", she says from the backseat.
"Bless you", I say.
"Never mind that," she says, "I just blessed all over the place!"

That's pretty much the week in a nutshell. What else is new?!
