C Locates His Backpack

"You guys wanna hear how I found my backpack? It was really dark in my room cuz H was sleeping, so I just started kicking stuff. Three bruised toes later, I finally found it.

"I think I kicked my desk twice."

Messing Around...

Messing around after band rehearsal was so fun today. 

There's never enough time to play all the music. Can't I have myself cloned?

In other news: I just found this. 

I wore this sweater how many times with a pushpin embedded in it!

Also: 

Evening: We went to Robby & Lisa's.

New Dining Set!

Spent a fun evening loading this into Sherlock the minivan. Hubby's co-worker Barb's neighbor* is remodeling his dining room and gifted us this fun set. Every chair is unique.

Aww, it looks so nice.

*best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard it from this guy who knows this kid who knows a girl ...

O For A Thousand Vats of Biofreeze

Eleven pages of pounding eighth notes? Yeah, we're gonna need it.

It sounded amazing today.

(Mostly) Rhetorical Mail Questions

How many more times will the #USPS bring us mail for previous occupants, on which I've written "Not at this address" and deposited into a blue USPS drop box? 

Should I be writing something else, besides the above or "Return To Sender" (my second attempt)?

During the holidays, did we not tip the mail carrier enough?

Have I angered some unknown mail god in some way? How can I appease its wrath? 

Most importantly: if this mail comes back a third time, do I then get to open it and keep what's inside?

Stellar Parenting, with Miss R.

R: S is having a team bonding party tonight. It's a sleepover. Is that okay? 

Me: As far as I know.....is she a drug dealer?

R: Yep

Me: Is she a pimp? 

R: Yep

Me: Wow, she's accomplished a lot for such a young age. 

R: Well she's a sophomore.

It's a good thing

...we only make artichoke dip on New Years Eve.... holy heck it's amazing.
