Snakes on a playground

right, so, i like love nature and stuff and think it's really neat how the little buggers have made their nests or whatever and stockpiled some food...they just can't do it on the toddler playground. and the poor bug guy did not sound happy when i told him. the first time i talked to him, he tried to tell me that it was some kind of ground dwelling insect. ok. then erin went outside to take a picture and saw a bug fly into one of the holes and the snake ate it. i was torn between "aha! i was right!" and "did you get a picture??" cos that would have been a neato picture. so i called john back and gave him that update...back to unhappy sounding bug guy. but really, poor snakes :(

this morning i went to panera for breakfast (yum) and i am oh so glad that i did. the lady in front of me paid with cash and asked the cashier if her twenty dollar bill was ok. she said, "i got this from the atm this morning, but it looks like counterfeit to me..." and she kinda shrugged. the cashier looked at it and said, "no, it's fine...it's just older. see? it says 2003 on it and that was before they went to the bigger presidents."


wow...just w.o.w.

i used my card...like everyone in this century.

Multimedia message

took the girls to the movies yesterday. elise is the only one who would stand close enough to the hulk long enough for me to get a picture...and she looks bored.

wall-e was good, in a disturbing sort of way. and of course i cried...weirdo.
