We Did Not Make This Up

I have a friend whose story is better than mine today. I warn those of you with young children. Especially those with boys. They grow into teens. And no. I didn't get this from a chain email.

-------------------------------

The Story

"Did you know that if you unscrew the little cap at the end of the faucet in the bathroom, and then dont shut the faucet all the way off, instead of dripping down into the sink, the water actually runs BACK along the bottom of the faucet, down to the countertop, over to the drawer underneath the countertop (which, of course, is open) fills the drawer with water, leaks out of the drawer to the floor, floods the floor including the bathmat, towels, and miscellaneous clothes and clutter that have been dropped there, and makes its way all the way through the floor to the kitchen ceiling, creating several splotches of damp, drippy brownish stuff, the wiping off of which removes not only the drippy stuff, but the paint AND the plaster?

I am not making this up."

-------------------------------

I didn't make this up either.

This is not an email chain letter.

Though it should be.

Zeta Graduates Kindergarten

Princess Zeta Bear graduates with a 4.0 Summa Cum Laude in the top ninety-eight percentile of her class. She would have received several scholarships from various institutes, though her lack of opposable thumbs prevented her from filling out applications. Still, she plans on pursuing a degree in Canine Good Citizenship at either the U of PetSmart or the U of Doggy Day Out. While there, she will continue to refine her socialization skills and her studies in "staying with distractions," "maintaining a perfect recall," and "falling over 'dead'" on cue.

Down and Dirty Update

I'm so busy. I really am... and yet, I have been busier.

Here's the news for the week:

NxNW Theatre Company News:
Getting some domain names for the theatre! www.nxnwtheatre.org and www.nxnwtheatre.com and business cards, and postcards and stationery and a post office box, already!

Family News:
Beast Boy #2 started high school today and we're all very excited. Please do not tell anyone I whispered in his ear as he left today, "have a kick a** day." Now the world knows. Turns out he said it was, "boring." That's a far cry from "kick a**." Sigh.

Zeta News:
Zeta graduates from Puppy School tomorrow. Yeah. I am probably taking a camera to class. Her instructor claims she's a non-typical, laid back, "lazy" schnauzer. I can't imagine they come with more spastic personalities. But. They. Do.

Today:
Worked. Ordered my copy of Steel Magnolias. Auditions have been decided for the week of October 21... more news to come.

Tomorrow:
I get a hair do.

Wish I was back on the beach.

:-p

VACATION

We've been on vacation.

Ok, we've been back for a week, but I've been busier than a one armed paper hanger and so tired when I got home at night, I just couldn't blogify.

So be it.

Here is a tasty photo of the Sexy Beast on the beach at sunrise. The Sexy Beast rocks!


I put Zeta on Dogster this week. Dogster cracks me UP! Zeta has started her own diary. She's a better writer than me.

I'm going to bed. I think I should to test drive cars tomorrow. I'm just in the mood.

Zeta's Five Months Old!

Can you believe it?

Still, she's portable, and is sitting in my lap as I type.
