More tape, please, Mama


This is what happens when I don't want to get off the computer--I bribe her with office supplies. Who needs toys when you have scotch tape?

The Big O LOVES tape.

If he sees you with a rool of tape he gets very excited, then starts pointing at the parts of his body he wants you to put tape on.

I always thought this was a little strange, but am so relieved to know that S Boogie, whom I regard as highly developed, likes tape too!

And now I learn that Miss R also enjoyed tape.

So glad to know the Big O is normal.

"Who needs toys when you have scotch tape?"

I came to a similar conclusion when preparing for a family road trip when my kids were young. Bandaids, tape, all those things that we normally don't let them play with - we usually say "no", b/c we "can't afford" to waste things. But then I compared these items to the cost of toys, and said, "YES!" (You can imagine what the back seat of the car looked like, but no harm done, and it 'saved the day'.) :)

Debate 2008

One of the features of our new apartment is a working garbage disposal. It's been a few years since we've had one, and Mr. Fob and I are suddenly discovering a new source of marital conflict. According to Mr. Fob, movies and television have taught him that you should never stick your hand in the garbage disposal, even if it is turned off. I prefer to rely on common sense and the fact that the off switch means "off" and stick my hand in to make sure no utensils are hiding before turning it on. Mr. Fob thinks I'm crazy. What do you think? Do you stick your hand in the garbage disposal or do you like to grind up your spoons and forks?

Happy, Happy Blog-day Foxy Dear

Tomorrow marks the second anniversary of my blog. I had no idea where my life would go when I started this blog, and it's fun for me to read back through the archives and remember feelings and events that I have already forgotten. I think the most surprising thing about blogging that I have discovered is the sense of community. I have about fifty blogs that I follow somewhat regularly; many of them are people I haven't ever met in person. I still consider them to be my friends. I've been very grateful for all the virtual support I've received from so many people who don't really even "know" me. Miss Nemesis recently celebrated her blog's special day by asking lurkers to come out of the woodwork and reveal who they were and how they found her blog. She got 52 comments. If you want to make my day, see if you can top her numbers. Maybe then I can change my blognym to "Queen of the Universe".
