Swearing on God's Holy Campus

Today I locked my keys in my running vehicle while my puppy was inside with the lights and windshield wipers on.  I then had to wait an hour and a half for the tow truck to arrive while I stood outside in the pouring rain wearing a dress and no jacket and then paid the man $60 to spend 30 seconds popping open my door.  It was the worst ever and I spent much of that time stomping around my deserted former college campus swearing loudly.  I'm sure God was offended and that's why He didn't miraculously open my doors for me when I asked. BAH.

Pacing

There is a boy outside my house right now pacing.  And staring in the window of the house across the street.  And every once in awhile he rubs his eyes and stares longingly.  It’s great!  It’s like a scene from a bad romantic comedy that also has a teen storyline to attract younger audiences.  He looks to be about 16 and is wearing some sort of comic book tshirt and glasses with transition lenses. 

Okay now he’s looking at me in here, what do I do?  Smile?  Look away – I’ve looked away.  Deeply focused on my computer.

He’s taken several steps into the road now staring at the house…now he’s sulking back to the sidewalk.  I have an urge to go ask him what he’s waiting for – but then he might say something like “My drug dealer” or “None of your effing business” and then the romance of the moment will be lost.  The romance between him and the mystery girl that I imagine he’s waiting to notice him out the window of that townhouse.

Oh the things I will do to put off writing my final paper.

Napoleon Chronicles - Part 3

Here is a video I put together of Napoleon's first weeks including a trip to the beach, his first playtime with some of my friends and his favorite toy: an empty Starbucks cup!

Napoleon Chronicles - Part 2

Napoleon spent his first night without Mom the other day while I drove out to Agassiz for Wade and Lenica's wedding!! It was a beautiful wedding but all I could think about was getting home for some more cuddle time with my little boy!!!  Auntie Erica took good care of him though.
