Grissom would be so proud...
Well, hello y'all.
It's been a long time. A whole month, I do believe.
I sorta decided to take a few days off being the holidays and all and then those days turned into weeks and those weeks turned into a month.
Let's call it a blogging vacation. Well, much to your delight/dismay I am back. Ready to entertain you with thoughts of sheer brilliance. Brilliance I tell you.
I have a tiny tale for you today ... I have to ease into this stuff. The juicier stuff/the mega posts will come later. But this is cute.
Today, at the doctor's office just before Little Man was about to get his four-month shots, I was eavesdropping on a mother and daughter in the waiting room. (Note to you: I eavesdrop on everyone ... just an FYI. You might want to watch what you say about/around me.)
Anyway. The mom was talking to her daughter about some sort of basketball program she has before school in the mornings.
The mother was trying to figure out just how she was going to co-ordinate her three kids' schedules.
"Where is your basketball practice sweetie," she asked.
The little blonde girl took a break from browsing a children's book and looked seriously at her mother.
"It's at CSI," she said.
The mother looked puzzled.
"I'm sorry - Where is your practice?" she asked again.
"I told you. CSI," the girl said.
The mother told her daughter she had to be mistaken.
"CSI is a show, hon," she said.
"Oh yeah. I meant LCVI."
How cute is that?
And in even cuter news: I am now officially 1 3/4 pounds smaller than my pre-pregnancy weight. Take that skinny chiquitas! More bragging on that to come.

What on earth is LCVI? Listowel Collegiate, Lindsay Collegiate (hint)? Did you mean KCVI? Your editor!!
LCVI
Loyalist Collegiate Vocational Institute
It is a high school!
What drivel. Spend the time it takes to write here with your son. The world will be a better place.
Hi.
Question for you: If it's drivel, why are you reading it?
Spend the time it takes to read it with your children.
Wow. You're cranky. May I suggest a whole wheat and raspberry scone from Starbucks? They always brighten my day.
A true writer can write in a matter of minutes. However, it probably took you longer then a few minutes to read the article and then figure out a rude comment to post. The world would be a better place without people posting rude comments.
A true writer would have written "longer than a few minutes" not "longer then" as you wrote, incorrectly. Might I suggest a few good reference books: The Practical Stylist, and Write Right.
Maybe your time reading this blog to fuel your bile would be better spent reading some style and grammar guides.
cheers
Sarah, maybe you shouldn't allow anon comments anymore! Some people are a wee bit bitter.
I believe the style guides would suggest underlining book titles and capitalizing 'cheers' as your closing comment. Unless you are subscribing to the open style of correspondence, punctuation would be a most appropriate addition.
That being said, I believe your time could be better spent by examining your appearent need to point out your perceived shortcomings of others.
Get out of the bitter barn and play in the hay!!
Hi Jessie:
The rudeness doesn't bother me.
I'm actually not surly at all. Anyone who knows me would you tell I'm truly chipper to the point of being annoying.
I just like to "poke" people. I'll just never understand why people read things they hate ...
sarah :)
Odds are Ms. Crosbie is a great mom... since she's pretty mediocre at everything else.
Mediocre at everything else?
Obviously you have never tasted my banana bread, seen the way I can style my fabulous hair, or caught me bustin' a move on the dancefloor.
But thank you for saying I'm a great mom. Yes, I am.
Sarah :)
