So last Friday night, like the wild and crazy couple that we are, we stayed in and watched the opening ceremonies of the Olympics. Yep, the whole thing. I know that is the first time I've ever sat through the whole thing, and maybe the only time I've ever watched a significant portion of the ceremonies at all. I have to say, though, parts of it were really cool. But maybe that's just because I have a soft spot in my heart for Canada, being that I'm a pseudo-Canadian myself.
And I was all giddy to see Iran marching in the parade of nations. Go Iran!
I haven't watched much of the Olympics since then, though. Sometimes I'll catch bits and pieces when Tony's watching it, but I haven't gone out of my way. Though I must confess, I was up way too late a few nights ago watching curling. It's just so strange... I couldn't tear myself away.
I kind of hate being on Royal Caribbean's e-mail list. Because every time I get an e-mail from them, it makes me want to go on another cruise even worse than I already do.
On a related note, I am so DONE with winter and SO ready for springtime and sunshine and flowers and skirts and bare legs and sandals.
I was on my way to work on Wednesday morning, when, just before my exit, a police car pulled up behind me with his lights flashing.
I pulled over, of course, but I was honestly baffled. Fine, I was going 68 or 69 instead of 65, but was he really pulling me over for that? When he came to my window, he told me he was pulling me over for the crack in my windshield. Oh yeh. That. That crack that started as a chip and has been growing slowly for months now, to the point where it's now a long horizontal line that extends almost the entire way across the windshield. That crack that Tony keeps reminding me I need to get fixed. That crack that I keep saying I'll take care of, but that I keep forgetting about.
Luckily, he only gave me a warning, both a written one and a stern, almost-fatherly, verbal one. Of course, I thanked him and promised to take care of it.
And like the good little girl I am, I called my insurance company that afternoon, got it all set up, and yesterday afternoon, the windshield repair guy replaced it while I was at work. When I got in my car at the end of the day, this is what I saw on my dashboard...
Yes, it's mine--a teeny bottle of VS Dream Angels Heavenly. I'd forgotten it was even in my car. But I guess the windshield guy must have found out, figured it was important, and put it somewhere where I would see it. I was amused.
Every time we go through the automatic car wash, when we get to the end, where the huge dryers turn on, I'm always tempted to roll down my window. Just to see how strong that wind really is. But I'm guessing that's probably a bad idea.
Ari has been so thrilled to see me when I get home from work lately... it's the sweetest thing. She'll scream my name, her entire face lighting up, and run to give me a hug. And then she'll gab my ear off for several minutes, telling me all about her day. When she gets excited, she stammers a little, which means it takes her even longer to get her words out. The other night, she was babbling away at me, stuttering and stammering adorably... and for some reason, was turning in circles, too. I felt bad for cracking up in the middle of the story she was telling me, but I just couldn't help it.
While watching an episode of Dora about them helping a lion find the circus...
Ari: (excitedly) Mommy, sometime can we go to a circus and see a lion?!
Me: Sure, sometime.
Ari: (burying her head in my shoulder) But... I'm shy of lions.
Me: Um... OK... so... we won't go?
Ooh, I NEED this shirt... (from noisebot.com)
Possibly this one too...
