Just in Case May 31, 2007
Posted by carpebanana in : Bananalets , add a commentIf I go insane in the next few days, here’s why: Miss Dog Lover and Mr Music have been squabbling - today is day three. What is the source of this squabble? Who gets to read the one copy of The Secret Garden we brought home from the library.
So, it’s back to thinking about the pervasiveness of sin. How angry can you get about your brother Removing Your Bookmark from The Secret Garden (how dare he??) when all you did was go sneak the book out of his room because he took it while you were doing a chore?
Some days I wonder if teaching them to read was really such a good idea. Seems like life was a lot easier when a squabble shield would have done the trick.
A Major Award May 31, 2007
Posted by carpebanana in : Ramblings , 1 comment so farMy Mum visited last week and brought the contents of some drawers I never cleaned out when I left home, over, um, 25 years ago. Why I am going through the stuff is beyond me as obviously I can live without it, but I am.
Yesterday’s big find was a major award I received the summer I worked at camp and was bit on my behind by a doberman pinscher. While I was waiting for results of the rabies isolation, I made a list of people I would probably bite if, in fact, I had rabies.
That is one way I know without a doubt that I am totally depraved.
At the camp banquet, I received this award. It is now immortalized here and in the trash. Miss Language had to ask just what the disk was, anyway. What do they teach at these schools these days?
I also cleared out some old perfume. The Love’s Baby Soft had not fared well at all. And the tangerine scented oil from the 60’s head shop just smelled like… nothing. What does smell better than it used to was the tiny sample Fuller Brush jar I had refilled by cramming as many lilac blossoms as I could into it with a toothpick and then filling it with Sea Breeze. That makes pretty decent perfume if you have almost 40 years to wait for it to set up.
