Um...

Did Jodi Foster have some work done? Becuase I'm telling you, every time I see the previews for her new movie it looks like Jodi, but it doesn't. She's also on the cover of 'More' magazine this month (the magazine for women over 40.) and I didn't recognize her there either. Her nose and chin look pointier, she lost some of the fullness in her face or something...

Is that a trick question

Do you remember the doctor you saw when you were a kid? Didn't it seem like you saw that doctor forever? Like he was a part of the family practically. Doctor's just don't have that level of commitment anymore.

Aidric's pediatrician is changing practices, we've known the man for a year and now he's starting up a practice for teens and young people. Concentrating on 12-26 year olds. Se we have to find a new pediatrician. I hate finding new doctors.

....................

Aidric thinks he's two now. He has learned to skillfully and willfully use the word 'No'. These days he uses it most at meal times. Not because he doesn't like the food, just because he realizes he can choose not to eat. When presented with a spoonful of food, no matter what it is, he turns his head away and says 'No'. When a plate full of food and an eating utensil are placed before him, he pushes them away and says 'No'.

'Aidric, come here'
'No'

'Want to go for a walk?'
'No'

'Do you want some juice?'
'No'

'Are you trying to drive mommy crazy?'
'No'

Well, at least that's comforting.

We've been in CA for a almost a year and our insurance company has been more and more insistent on our acquiring a California Drivers License. So finally on Friday we made appointments at the DMV and went down to comply with the insurance who sent us some threat of cancellation or something if we did not comply within 30 days. Sheesh, take a breath or something we're working on it, I thought California was the layed back state or something. Doesn't it say it on the state crest?

Anyway, it turns out that we had to take the written test. With no prep other than we had taken the California written test when we got our first licenses, many, many, many years ago, we took our tests to a table and set to work.

Knowing what an overachiever I am I'm sure you're thinking 'Here goes Missy, shooting for a 100% without having studied - just like being back in high school'. Honestly, I was not shooting for 100%, I was shooting first of all to pass but most importantly, to not miss more questions than Sean. I know, real mature.

Well we both passed and we both missed 2. The first one I missed was just one of those over thinking mistakes. The second one was a trick question.

12. When driving on a multilane street with two-way traffic:

a.) Drive alongside the other vehicles so the drivers can see you.
b.) You should drive ahead of or behind the other vehicles.
c.) It is safest to drive in the lane next to the center line.

What I did on my summer vacation...

A video slideshow of our famly vacation. Get comfy though, it's 10 minutes long. It's a bit blurry in this format, sorry, but you get the idea. I can burn it to DVD from my computer and send it to you, it's way better quality.

Readership

Ok, funny joke, but who sent me 'Redbook' and 'ESPN' subscriptions? They are not magazines I ever would have ordered and they are coming to my house addressed to me. And ESPN is either weekly or bi-weekly, I lose track, but it's piling up. Anyone out there want them? I'll send them to you. ESPN!?? ME??!! Not funny people. Next time could you send me 'Real Simple' or 'Bon Appetite' or something. Thanks

Since I don't want to blog just to yell at you all....here are some pictures of my cute boys.
