Superwomen fits her well.

However, don't tell her, she may want compensation.

SS

Lol! We wouldn't want that, nor would we want her to appear in skin-tight blue-and-red underwear with a cape.

I'll take your word on it.

Ok, you made me laugh - I admit it.

More like the female version of yoda?

With racing stripes?

SS

Very short, she is. Tallness misplaced, she has.

Mr. Incredible with flowing tresses also springs to mind.

Laughing so hard I can't type very well.

Edited for spelling and typos.

What do we do when she shows up?

Laugh with her?

SS

I was just getting ready to hit 'post' when she flung open my door and stepped in. I leaped dramatically and tinkled with casual laughter. "Oh, hiiiiiiiiiii, Mom!"

"Did you see that SS wrote?" she asked.

Guilty look. "Er, yes, as a matter of fact, I did."

Fortunately she was not eating a bite of the cobbler right at the moment she discovered what we had been up to in her absence. Bad enough we had to wipe spit off the monitor.

Believe me, as pregnant as she is, if she was "tinkling" anything , it wasn't casual laughter!!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

OK, time to go for me -

My sides ache.

I think we get peach cobler tonight. Goody.

SS

Is it fresh? Or did I spray your monitor, too, and you're just hoping to scrape some off for yourself? Neak said that if it's mine, you'll be able to tell because it will all be on the inside of your screen. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> E-e-e-e-e-e-ew. Sorry about that! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

What fun it is to be a fly on this cobbler! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

If you read everything, and didn't skip stuff <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> (reading a bit "here and there"--hm-m-m-m-mph!), you'd know how dangerous it is to be a fly around The Great White Huntress. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> I'm DEATH on flies, and have many fly swatters scattered strategically around the house, in case I happen upon one unawares. But on my cobbler? [color:"red"] THWACK! THWACK!THWACKTHWACKTHWACKTHWACKTHWACK!! [/color] Did I mention that I've got bad aim? That would explain the multiple blows, but at least give me credit for persistence. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

t&l

All right, who blabbed about my ears? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> I'll have to find a picture of Baby Yodette for Neak to post. Had about the same amount of hair, too!


Sorry, no racing stripes.

t&l

I admit to it just fine. I don't think I need to wave it around like the American flag, just to see who'll salute! I was the snarky, pesky kid that got good grades without studying (except in math...if I got a good grade there, I worked for it!). Being smart in many ways kept me (for many years) from becoming self-disciplined. Especially for kids, I think they're better off to be average with diligent work habits than smart and "skating" through everything. I'd much rather be wise than smart. Smart is what you know. Wise is what you do with what you know. That can be tricky!


Given the way I needle life, it would be pretty hypocritical of me to object to a little reverse flow once in awhile, now wouldn't it? As Neak said, I do tend to withdraw if I'm not sure if it's teasing or not, at least until I figure it out. She can't criticize, though, since she's exactly the same way! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

The girls wanted SO badly to take a picture of me in a Superman outfit that I just HAD to indulge them. You'll never guess what happened.......

<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> My Spandex 'Sploded! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

Now I'm worried. Sure hope none of you were hurt by any of those [color:"red"] molten [/color] projectiles, which left my body at a ferocious rate of speed. Warp 9, if I'm not mistaken. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

P.S. After many previous attempts and failures, tonight I have finally discovered how to change the font color, n case nobody could tell. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Woo-hoo.

The cobler was fresh - or um, it was peach pie. The peaches are getting ripe as fast as we can use them from our one little tree

Sad thing is we ate all of it. Good thing is that we ate all of it, with ice cream.


Have fun with the font color.

I suppose it would be bad form to ask what this spandex thingie was all about?

I didn't ask ! I didn't ask!!

SS

The spandex was hypothetical. I was going to say imaginary but didn't want to damage anybody's personal imagination. How would I know what a [color:"red"] red [/color] and [color:"blue"] blue [/color] Superman outfit is made out of?! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> Spandex and 57 would be a bad combo, IMHO. Spandex, 57, AND a camera? A recipe for disaster. Possibly an actual crime, in some jurisdictions! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

You didn't ask. I didn't tell. So there. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

I think megalithic makes me sound like Stonehenge. Which would make YOU a chip off the old block there, girlie--so be careful what you say! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> And she's right, I DO think of myself as mild-mannered, and am always surprised to have people I don't know well tell me (or someone else who tattles to me about it) what a strong person I am. All I can say is, if these people think I'm strong based on what I do and say now, I hate to think what they'd perceive me to be if I actually and regularly said the things that I think. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

Again, I don't remember a lot of details about the time spent "together" at EsWa's house. Certainly it was all open for public consumption, and chaperoned out the wazoo. I remember it snowed on April 15, which for a CA girl was a pretty amazing thing.

The one thing I do remember vividly is this: The second (and last) night we were both there, my folks went over to our relatives' house and Neaksis and I stayed at EsWa's to visit with them and MS. When it was time to go to bed, Neaksis and I got up to go outside to the RV where our family was sleeping. As we walked down the hallway towards the door, we passed behind the couch where MS was sitting, and he turned around and spoke to my daughter. "Neaksis," he said, "I just want you to know that meeting you will be in my book of special memories forever." At that we proceeded down the hall and out the door, and I was torn between feeling profoundly moved at the melancholy and pathos of the expressed sentiment, and feeling like smacking him upside the head for being so stupid that he would have to "treasure" a chance meeting like this instead of having had and known a daughter of his own for a whole lifetime. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

People are really intolerably foolish at times, present writer NOT exempted! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
