It is hard to put in words the feelings you experience knowing you were one of the last few voices of a loved one a person hears before they die. The hardest to get over is the feeling you didn't do enough to make sure they knew how much you loved them.
Three years and three months. Now I need an accountability team to get rid of the weight I've gained. I figured if I could make it through the last two weeks of December and New Years day I'd have a head start. Trying to limit calories to 2000ish per day and 30 minutes of exercise. Anybody else in?Quote:

So for Christmas we got my not quite 2 year old son a copy of a book that he had really liked when we randomly checked it out of the library earlier this year. Easily his favorite book to have read to him. It's called BOY + BOT. He was really happy to see it on Christmas morning (we read it at least twice as soon as we opened it - and this is with a pile of brand new toys nearby). He is a big fan of "bo-bots" right now.
So after the break I decided I'd email or tweet the author just to let her know that we like her book. I really wasn't trying to get anything out of her or expecting a response other than maybe a "thanks, I like to hear that."
But when I sent her a tweet, she responded by telling me that if I sent her an address by private message she'd send us some goodies. And yesterday we got a package in the mail with swag for both of my kids from both of this lady's books. Stickers, bracelets, mini-frisbees, bookmarks, etc. Also, a nice personal letter to them saying that she heard they liked her book and how that made her feel.
Let's just say Mom and Dad are impressed. If we weren't already fans, we certainly would be now.
Anyway, the author is Ame Dyckman and the books are BOY + BOT (which we love) and Tea Party Rules (which we actually haven't read yet, but have ordered from our library). If you have young children, it's worth checking them out.
Today would have been Johnny Cash's 82nd birthday.
In related news, my not-quite-two-year-old insists on listening to Johnny Cash whenever he rides in Daddy's car.
And nobody insists on things the way that not-quite-two-year-olds do. It's a very insistent age.
Sitting at Posada's in Bossier. They can't handle the crowd for Mardi Gras and we want this town to host a conference tourney or continue to host a bowl game. Probably not.......
The food was good as always, but the servers and kitchen can't keep up with a 80% full restaurant.
Fun stuff on this thread:

word of the day: mcgyvery (n): unconventional innovation applied to a pressing problem, often involving the use of duct tape and/or bobby pins (bobby pins only applicable when removed from the hair of a hot and bewildered female).
as in, "with a lot of redneck engineering and mcgyvery, i was able to piece together a working lawn mower."
