Good morning! Happy 4th of July!
Wow - busy night on here last night. I was caught up until about 8pm, but then DH and I watched a movie (VERY rare occurance around here). I think it was originally made for British TV (Terry Pratchett's "Hogfather") and it was in 2 parts and much longer than I expected. It ended around midnight and I collapsed without checking the thread again. I really enjoyed it, but I don't know if it would all make sense to non-Pratchett readers.
Hope everyone is having a great holiday! DH & I are just working around the house. DS9 is still at the cabin with my parents (Looks like they are bringing him home on Saturday evening) so I might be able to get the house clean without it just getting trashed again in 10 minutes! Only negative is that my allergies are terrible this morning and I'm having trouble getting myself moving.
We could open a store! I go size 2-8.
A few months back I had sizes 6 to 14 in my closet. I decided to bite the bullet and did a thorough closet cleaning. I threw out EVERYTHING that didn't fit (except a couple sentimental items) right then! I tried on every item (it took a couple days!) and if I wasn't happy with the fit, color, condition, etc - it was put into the goodwill pile. It was really hard to do and my closet was very empty looking, but it has been nice knowing what I really have and what I need to get. I just kept telling myself that if I ever get back down to an 8 or 10, I will reward myself with a whole new wardrobe
So far my kids Dumb Move Award goes to DS8 who rode a boogie board down the steps when he was 2. Put a lovely hole in his head when he ran into the stereo speaker at full speed.
DS9's dumbest move was probably running into a tree! He was 4 or 5 and was at his pre-school. He was playing tag, running full-tilt and watching the kid running behind him. One of the teachers shouted "Look Out" and he turned his head just as he ran straight into the tree. He had a huge gash on his forehead and there is still a small scar (although it does seem to be fading as he grows). He tends to be accident prone (not through being awkward or gawky - he is actually pretty coordinated - he just doesn't pay any attention to what he is doing sometimes) so there are LOTS of smaller "dumb" moments! He knows the school nurse so well, we gave her an end of year gift like we give to the teachers!
We have noticed that when he first encounters a new school, camp, or whatever that we get called for the first few times he hits his head, cuts himself, and so on. After a while, they figure out this is just "normal" and we only get called for the big ones!
Ratz - outbid right at the end.

Haven't you been practicing your sniping skills? DH is an expert and seems to have it timed down to the second. (I imaging it is sort of like Tom and Roger's pirating ability!)

They must also be walked to there car by a male member of the staff.

DM had to lock me in a room to save my life.
I have all the Discworld books and a few of the others. He is the only author that I CANNOT wait for the paperback version and buy everything in hardback.
