Now let’s play “Where’s the wasp?”
Soooo…. I came home from work, threw a couple of slices of old pizza in the microwave, went to grab a cup, and there was a wasp on the window.
Wait. Cruicial detail: on the inside of the window.
What the what?? I took his picture before following him around the house. I smashed him with great skill, strength and accuracy with absolute calm. There were definitely no little whimpers.
So, now there is a strip of tape over the lock of the window with holes in the screen. Do. not. open.
A little bleh
I have laryngitis from my dumb stomach. I don’t know why it flared up – I’ve been doing so well up until now. Oh, well. It’s annoying but it makes me appreciate the many times when it doesn’t happen.
What else can I tell you? I didn’t write about confirmation Sunday because I went to bed super-early. The day was great. I was in awe at how smoothly the service went. They processed 30-some eighth-graders and four adults, served communion to everyone and we were out in just over an hour and a half. Afterward we joined Bethany and family for lunch and an Open House. It was a beautiful sunny day and everyone had a great time. Glorious!
Oh, and more stuff the kids say: “Why do we say the fire alarm is going off when it’s really going on?”
Deep, huh?
Where’s Ralph?
Home camping and cinco de confirmation
I spent Friday night on the porch in my tent, because I am going camping, dangit! Even if it is fake, it still counts.
Our dinner was a feast at Sam and Rachel’s. Gracen is getting confirmed on Sunday (along with Bethany and many others), and they decided to have the celebration the day before. As Gracen says, “Nothing says Jesus like Cinco de Mayo!”
It was delicious and fun!
That kid.
So, …what did I call him last time? Elisha? Eddie? Emmett? Anyway, out of the blue he asked me today in his gravely voice, “What’s marijuana?”
Hmmmmmm.
“It’s a plant and some people smoke it. It’s pretty dumb.”
That seemed to satisfy him. Say no to drugs, buddy.
Oh – Happy Star Wars Day!
