Several things are dancing around my head this morning. Should I blog about…

* My kids’ lack of taste in good music? Sniff, sniff, where did I go wrong… I’m listening to a rock mix my friend lent me. Guns-N-Roses’ classic "Welcome to the Jungle" came on, and I’m singing along, mildly rocking out. (Yes, mildly. I’m getting old enough that anything more than a head bob gives me a headache. Sigh. Yes, I know… headbobbing to metal is just wrong.) Sweet Girl and Kiddo came over and asked what on earth that noise was, and could I please turn it down?

* Sweet Girl’s perception of life? There is a cartoon on Nickelodeon called ‘My Life as a Teenage Robot’ that Sweet Girl just loves to watch. The main character (XJ9, or Jenny as she prefers to be called) is - you guessed it - a robot programmed to be a teenage girl. Sweet Girl was drawing her in her notebook this morning - and she did a pretty good job, really. I was able to guess what she was drawing before she told me what is was, LOL. Anyway, she drew a pretty good likeness - except she put the robot in a dress, with a tiara - and named her Princess Jenny. Because, you know, deep down, we all want to be princesses.

* Little Man? He was eating some Cocoa Dyno-Bites this morning. He held up a spoonful and said, "Wook, Mom! Dis is da same cuhwah as my eyes!" After he ate it, Sweet Girl teased him - "Little Man! You just ate your eyes! Ew!" He grinned, scooped up some more and said, "Don’t wowwy - I tan stih see! Yum yum. My eyes taste dooood!" Don’t worry, I’ve already started saving up for his therapy.

* Withdrawals? The MOFia’s board is broken, and has been for a few days. Oh well, we have our old board as a backup, right? So what if it’s slower than molasses in January and is nearly physically painful to use… chatting with the MOFs is worth it. It’s all good, right? Except that today even our backup board isn’t working! I’m going through some serious friend withdrawals… it’s hard to start my day without checking in with my gals! Especially since one of them is overdue and had her membranes stripped yesterday…  And another’s husband is going in for minor surgery today to remove skin cancer… And… and… and… I’m an addict. (Not necessarily in time spent, but I do need to check in with my friends daily!)

* My new Shelf Reliance rack? - A couple weeks ago, I was able to purchase a really cool food storage rack. Now it takes up a large corner of my dining room and is quickly noticable when you come in my kitchen. The other day my sister came in, eyed it, and said suggestively, "Hey, nice rack." Ahhh, she’s so funny. (And no, I’m not jealous that my food storage system gets more compliments than I do… why would you bring *that* up?)

OK, off to try the MOF board again… and if that doesn’t work, well, then I guess I’d better go get dressed!
