Cute kid story coming up. Feel free to skim or skip.

Got this e-mail from her preschool teacher today within minutes of her coming home from preschool:

We are learning the letter "Ll" this week. Every time we learn a new letter, we glue something to that letter. We were getting ready for that today when I picked up a piece of lace and asked:

Me:"Does anyone know what this is called?"
Norah: "B00B stuff?"
Me:That's close, it's called l-l-lace.
Can you say that with me?
l-l-lace."



I can't imagine where she gets this stuff from!

I dare you to say "ketchuppy quip" 5 times fast!

Ok. Yes, now it makes sense - but it raises SO many more questions -

1. Why on earth did you send me to a press release from 2004?
2. Why on earth did you send me to a press release from Heinz?
3. Is the prairie in a different time zone?
4. Is it really 2004 and not 2009 there?
5. Do I need to say AGAIN: Step away from the benadryl?
6. Is there a Dr./Nurse in the house?

 

[MommyPoppins]

Wendy - **** stuff! Save that letter or write that down somewhere! How precious!

 

[UtahMama]

I will!
Included in the e-mail was a Photo of Norah holding up a piece of blue lace to be glued on her "L" worksheet. I love her!

 

[Backstage_Gal]

WOW, ya'll set a new standard for a posting frenzy today!

Too much to even attempt to comment on.

Wendy, too cute about the B@@b lace!

I love the teacher's response "that is close!" .... no wonder it so hard to learn the alphabet when grownups keep calling things by weird names like Lace

I thought the limit was 3 questions. However I will be a good sport
1. Did you notice it was also from Pittsburgh? You are in the ketchuppy quip heartland
2. Because I couldn't find pictures online of the cute lil' labels with ketchuppy quips
3. Yes, Prairie Standard Time is the civilized time zone.
4. I thought it was 2009 but that would explain a lot of posts from this time zone.... and the lack of new good ketchuppy quips
5. I didn't take any benedryl. I like bbn am high on life and ketchuppy quips
6. No- but if there was I bet they would like a ketchuppy quip too

I forgot, there is Knitfreak news:

Her fiancee, who now lives 4 1/2 hours away in Tallahassee, has been applying for jobs here. He had a phone interview last week with a company, and went for an in-person interview/testing today. And he got offered a job on the spot! He starts in 3 weeks.

So now the hunt is on for a bigger apartment or rental house.

Anyway, he came after the interview to have lunch with her at the hotel, and stopped by, so I got to meet him briefly. Seems like a nice guy with a sense of humor.

He is supposed to come to lunch tomorrow to meet the regional group for lunch at ESPN, but I think I will have to miss it, since I am taking the day off. Or maybe I will change my mind and go to work after all

Lynt, Twinkie and Sandy, DO NOT READ THE FOLLOWING!

DH replaced our desktop with a laptop. The estimate was for $384 repair and they didnt know if it would even work after that. Apparently a power surge MAY have killed things, even though it was in a surge protector.
So he got a laptop for himself, plus a new printer and a new router, and Microsoft Office, which I really need on my PC.
Nothing is installed yet. He wants to buy a new surge protecter first. And read directions on Saturday. He is totally clueless about computers, so wish me luck that somehow my highspeed will be fixed this weekend. I am NOT hopeful!

So he is looking forward to spending more time on the interweb sitting on his bed instead of sitting in a chair. Can't say that I blame him.

Goog reads!!

Brilliant people!! I miss hanging out with all y'all!

DH and I precelebrated for the wedding. Valuable lesson: dont drink champagne after midnight! (it did a goog job of reminding me not to overindulge at the wedding!!)

DH has to go back to work, I have 10 min left of my 20 min puter time - I had to post a Las Vegas Question - ds wanted to know if I knew anyone that knew anything on LV (see why I need to hang with brilliant people? I am lacking in brilliance!! )

DS and fdil are using my Christmas gift - they are taking Dancing Lessons!! If it works out goog - dh said we'd give it a go!!

ok, gotta check out the comp forum - I still cant believe I have... get to run another Half marathon...

ANAHEIM -- Disneyland management has fired the four actors who played pirate "Jack Sparrow" at the Southern California tourist attraction. But, officials and former cast members say the firings had nothing to do with reports that young female park-goers were flashing the swashbuckling actors late at night.
Brandon Pinto, the original "Jack Sparrow" and former pirate at the happiest place on Earth, says the termination of the characters was simply a business decision by Disneyland officials and he knows of no incidents of flashing. According to Pinto's personal assistant, the "Jack Sparrow" character was moved out of "New Orleans Square" and onto the newly renovated "Tom Sawyer Island." That move resulted in a drop in popularity for the character, in part because park goers couldn't find the actors, and thus led to the firings.
The pirate actors said they were told they were no longer needed at about the same time that additional fairies were added to the park's cast, presumably to promote Disney's new movie "Tinkerbell."
Disneyland officials confirmed that the pirate was indeed fired (due to declining relevance and diminishing visitor requests), but flatly denied published reports that the dismissal had anything to do with female fans flashing their breasts at the swashbuckling actors who portray Jack Sparrow at the Anaheim theme park.
Disneyland spokeswoman Suzi Brown called the breast-flashing rumors “absolutely false” and “simply not true.”
The animatronic characters on the Pirates of the Caribbean water-wide will remain, according to Disneyland officials.
The fired "Jack Sparrow" actors greeted visitors and posed for photos on "Tom Sawyer Island" and occasionally wandered around "New Orleans Square" near the "Pirataes of the Carribean" ride. Disneyland promises the bad boy buccaneer, made famous by Johnny Depp in the trilogy of movies, will eventually return.

Rob- I was going to be helpful and post snark in your name and hono(u)r but thought better of it. Have a smilie instead.

Thank you Twink.

Twink: Now then, please refrain from being nice to Rob in all future posts.

You can just keep your rules/requests to yourself "Lady"!

then my snack can wait.

Whaaaaat? Who hijacked the BBN computer and/or signon and typed that phrase? This has to be another sign of the approaching apocalypse.

But clearly some of the people on this thread ought to be barred. Or maybe they should just be IN a bar? IDK.

Or maybe they HAVE been in a bar? And hitting it hard for most of the morning apparently.

W@W! Today's frenze took me all evening to read!!!!!! Thanks for the laughs, everyone!



Peej - I saw the for a few minutes today before it was blotted out by the snow.

Mony - When should I BMOSH??! 47" is a great size TV. The price seemed to take a big jump for the next size up. We went with LCD too (Sony) and we're really enjoying it and kicking ourselves for not replacing our old one sooner.

MommyP - I wonder if that Hand and Foot game is a regional thing. I may have to get some friends together and see if we can figure out how to play!

Cel - Interesting questions. I keep thinking that maybe the Breadman will realize how stupid he's being

Marita - That sounds like a Disney cover story if I ever heard one! They'd better not fire the WDW Jacks!!!

 

[Backstage_Gal]

The Gators won. W00T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[RobInBigKC]

The Gators won. W00T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep. Now, when do they get to play Utah?

NOOOOOOO!!!! wonder if it was my (alleged) goosing???

The bolded part cracked me up!

Exactly. Hummph!

 

[RobInBigKC]

Whaaaat?

Utah, it's all your fault! Harumph! And I never even seen any of the Jacks!

Rob, who needs to play Utah after beating Oklahoma? I am asking this out of sheer ignorance, honestly....

Should I go to bed now and go to work tomorrow and potentially go for a long lunch with Knitfreaks new fiance and crew at ESPN or waste a vacation day at home doing nothing?

Hmmmm, I think I just answered my own question......

Bed, here I come............

 

[RobInBigKC]

Rob, who needs to play Utah after beating Oklahoma? I am asking this out of sheer ignorance, honestly....

Honestly, Marita, I'm not one who gets too fired up about this but some would say that Utah deserves to be called National Champions since they are undefeated this season and DID play SOME very good teams during their undefeated season (3 teams ranked in the Top 25 for the Utes while the Gators played 6 teams ranked in the Top 25). Florida, on the other hand, has a loss on its record this year (to unranked Mississippi by 1 point).

The reality is that Utah may not even be voted either 1 or 2 in the final end-of-season polls.
