1. Cody came back. Of course, I'm not going to go in to details as to what exactly happened; we'll just say it wasn't pretty. Although it was ugly, I am ecstatic to have him back. I figured his old man wouldn't come through, but I am amazed at how quickly he blew this priceless opportunity. Loser.
2. Carter has started preschool again. I spend the time he's there sweating my face off at the gym. I don't really know if I'm really reaping any physical results as of yet, but after an hour of cardio I always feel like I could join the revolution. Too bad there isn't one.
3. During one of the show-and-tells last preschool session, Carter was asked to guess what it was that one of the little girls brought to show the class. Carter asked, "Is it a phone jack?" This, of course, got a lot of surprised laughs from the other adults who were there at the time. Because of this response, Carter's guess for every show-and-tell now is "phone jack". I still laugh, but I think his teacher is getting a little tired of his answer. We'll have to think of something else original, maybe "tire iron" or "door knob"?
4. I have started reading Ayn Rand's "We the Living". I've realized that although I really love the moral content of her books, the characters, and the overall romanticism of her writing, her books always remind me of icy cold Utah winters. I can't decide if that is a good thing or not yet. I guess I'll just make sure when I read her books I'm sitting somewhere sunny or wearing fuzzy socks.
5. I have a fecal mass of laundry in the front room just dying for me to fondle, er, fold. Damn it all to hell.
Love,
Charise
