Sarah (effing) Ruth...
Yay... Sarah Ruth contacted me today and hopefully she will get in touch with Liz and Kirsten (I took the liberty of sending her your email addresses.) So, I'm posting photos of Ms. Ruth on my blog like I did with KT and have done, on occassion, with Sliz! All my love to you Sarah... by the way, do you remember this...
"One day when I was sitting on the Tarta bus
Sarah Ruth came on and joined us.
She sat down real fast
and passed a little gas.
It really did smell,
she put us through... (and rather than swear, as we were good Catholic Schoolgirls, we did rapping noises into our hands)"

it's all in the delivery...
Like, for instance... when using the phrase "self deprecating" you must be so very careful with annunciation or one may get the impression that you enjoy pooping on yourself. You've been warned.

Something I never thougth I'd hear myself say:
Put your turtle in your purse while you eat your cake.

How to prove you're NOT a taxi driver
So i get a very official and very scary notice from my insurance company that they will no longer be insuring us due to the fact that
WTF? (oh, that means What The Fiddle-sticks, dad) I mean, how could that even happen? So, I call our agent and speak with his assistant (who sounds twelve) and find out that "somebody" reported us for using our car as a "taxi". No shit. I was like, "Who accuses some random person of being a taxi driver? What motivates someone to accuse another of this apparent violation of an insurance agreement?" And she was all, "I don't know, why don't I ask *Paul and get back to you." And I replied, "Sounds like a plan." It turns out that our adjustor (from the accident involving the drunk driver plowing into our car parked in the street) said that there were "signs" that our car was a taxi. When I asked if he meant actual, physical signage, as in a display used to identify or advertise a place of business or a product (such as a taxi service) or something material or external that stands for or signifies something (such as a taxi service) she said she wasn't sure which he meant but would I please drive the car over so she could take a look "just to be sure." The bloody hell? Theoretically, couldn't I simply remove the "signs" (whatever they may be) of my taxi service prior to running my car over? Let me clarify that I am not, in fact, a taxi driver. I'm just sayin'. I brought it to her this morning and in her twelve-year-old expert opinion, it turns out that I am not a taxi driver. Whew! I ought to report them to someone but I just don't have the time (or really the inclination) to do that. So, I'm just letting you all know that there are people out there who will wantonly spread the rumor that a person is a taxi driver. Sure, it began with me but the real question is who is next? Who is next, indeed.

Happy October...
**Addendum 12/19/2008: I just realized that I did not ever post any more of Megs (or Gracies) drawings during the month of October which partially explains why I will not be receiving that coveted "Mother of The Year" award for 2008 (incidentaly, this happens to be my 16th consecutive year of not receiving this award... some sort of a conspiracy, perhaps? We'll probably never know for sure)**
Miss Moo has made some loverly decorations for the house this year (Grace says that she's "working on it, mom" - tweens are so busy now'days, huh?) Anyhoo, she wants me to try to post a new one each day. This should last about as long as quitting smoking lasted, right? 'bout 7 or so days (each month so if you add it up... carry the two... I've quit for like 4 months now.) So I should be posting these for 4 months.
