And They Lived Happily Ever After…..

-

As you may have noticed in yesterday’s Wordless Wednesday, my daughter wanted to get married this week.

To our imaginary cat.

She decided that day was the day and put the blankies wedding dress on herself, but I encouraged her in her endeavors. And of course, every wedding needs a photographer and I was more than willing to document the occasion. At a reduced rate. Family is family after all.

So in my post you saw the bride. You saw the first dance. You saw the (air) kiss. And the goodbye wave as they went off on their Disneyland honeymoon. To which I was of course invited because they were “too young” to go alone.

But not too young to wed.

Clearly my daughter doesn’t really understand what marriage means. Someday she will. For now I am content to watch her practice, and I am sure I have not attended – or officiated – or photographed my last one.

I took this picture after the wedding and almost included it – but I didn’t want there to be any confusion:

My daughter did not marry the dog.

She’s just giving him a treat.

Thanks also to my dad, for suggesting that this picture looked like a scene straight out of Star Wars:

"Help me Baxter Obi Wan, you're my only hope."

We met you in May of 2004 at the Humane Society. You were the only dog who could have cared less that there were humans walking around.  While all the other dogs barked and barked at us, you lay on the floor curled up and awake, yet quiet and uninterested.  We almost passed you by but after mentioning you to one of the employees they said you were a good boy and that we should take you out for a walk.  Once outside you perked right up and wanted to sniff everything and explore and didn't seem at all like the dog you were inside.  We were hooked. We agreed to take you home and took care of the necessary arrangements.  Your name was Champ because the Humane Society had picked you up on the side of the road, very injured in what they assumed was a fight with another dog.  We were told you were maybe two years old at most.  The Humane Society fixed you up and you healed like a, well, like a champ.  We decided to rename you Baxter. We brought you h...

I’m more than just a stay at home mom.  I read. (see, the stack has grown since last time I showed this picture) I watch television. I exercise. I floss every day.  I go out with girlfriends. I spend time with my husband. I pay attention to current events.  I enjoy cooking. I enjoy drinking wine. I enjoy cooking while drinking wine.  I love trivia games. And Boggle. I make sure most of the food we have in our house is healthy. I love music. I am silly. I am serious. I DON’T like to be scared (meaning that my husband really needs to let me know when he comes home unannounced in the middle of the day and just lets me come downstairs to find him standing there staring at me like a criminal because for a split second I was sure he had just broken in  and that is the ONLY reason I screamed bloody murder and about lost my lunch before realizing who it really was). I am anxious. I am focused. I like schedules and routines. ...

Except Death and Taxes and School Pick Up Problems

-
Dear you, Hi there! We haven't met so I thought I would introduce myself.  I am a mom of two, a fifth and a third grader, at the school our kids attend.  You might recognize my car, as you drive by it nearly every day when you pass me (and plenty other parents) 10 minutes before school gets out to park at the very front of the pick up line. In a spot that is not a spot. Genius!  I mean why should you get to school early like many of us other parents do and park appropriately in the pick up lane when you can just come nearly at the last minute, go around a line of 30 vehicles, and park in a spot that is not a spot? Why didn't I think of that? You probably have special circumstances.  I'm sure you think that NOBODY else in the pick up lane,  many of whom have been sitting there waiting for 30-45 minutes have ANYTHING better that they could be doing with their time. I especially loved the day that you were parked there and ran over to grab your child and...
