'due to higher than normal call volumes, wait times are longer than usual. you may wish to call back at another time.'

i am writing this while i am on hold with the bank

in other news, i finally got the police to listen to my taxi story...no it's not a 'story' in the sense of untrue...it's non-fiction, i suppose

but the police were not making it easy, they kept saying i did not have enough information, like that i could not remember the exact time of the occurence, or that i didn't remember the direction the cab was driving in

i just made kraft dinner and jell-o and put it in the fridge, my daughter can take the kraft dinner in her thermos and the jell-o in a container when she goes to daycamp

My daughter wants to sleep in a tent tonight, even though we are at home and the forecast is for rain.

We have listened to the soundtrack of High School Musical 2 until it is embedded in my brain.

Other than that not much is new.

my daughter was asking me what 'purple diarrhea' was and I said I had never heard of it but it sure sounded gross and I hoped it was only something she had made up.

she said that it wasn't, and that she had heard an adult talking about it

'are you sure?' I asked

'yes' she said, 'it has something to do with when you can't stop talking'

ooooh...VERBAL diarrhea...

well have a nice night everyone

have you ever made rice krispy snakes? or hats to go on your shoes?

i played my guitar and made up dog songs...doggie went a courtin...the dog went out on a chilly night, i can probably do better

ALSO, i discovered that I am no longer capable of monkey bars. I went on the swings, though, and climbed to the top of the climbing structure...i hope anyone who saw me just though I was an immature grade eight


i played t-ball and was totally beaten by my daughter

such is the life

they tore up one of the main streets in my town, which is also the street which i live on

today they broke our old water main and have not connected us to the new one yet so they took a hose and connected us to our neighbour's water supply, neighbours who are, presumeably, on a different main

and last year at this time they had taken down the bridge connecting my house to the commercial part of my town, even though you could see it, you couldn't get there

they built a new MURF, multi-use recreation facility. now, instead of walking to the arena you have to drive to a new, better arena

is this a rant? i don't know. most people in the world cannot turn on their tap and get water.

my daughter was worried that the dog next door would get too thirsty. i was actually worried that her fish would not be able to have its water changed....but we have water again, clear, drinkable water

apparently, in prague, water is more expensive than beer

the reason the last post was so lame was because i had this other post i was working on with a poem about my daughter's pet fish but i was afraid it would offend people who followed any of the world's major religions so i will have to work on it a bit

mmm ice cream indeed

it is interesting that they often have jell-o at salad bars...it doesn;t really go so well with french dressing

remember marshmallow salads? you never see those anymore. marshmallows, mayonnaise, whipped cream, how i miss it

i want to open an ice cream stand. i don't eat ice cream because of my lactose intolerance but i like reading the different flavours and thinking of inventing my own. and ice cream would seem to make people happy.
