Apparently the stars of the Twilight series were on Oprah. I had no idea. I just came across an article about it and, yeah, I read it. So what? The important point here is that it was hilarious.
I am so making it my mission to work the word ‘twihard’ into conversation tomorrow, probably in reference to the Rob-ot Pattinson I’ll be constructing.
Winter! Well, hello again!
I was worried you’d gone and left us with a cold, wet spring to replace you. Oh! How silly of me! I hope you had a nice vacation. I see you’ve put on weight in your absence, those lilac branches can hardly stand under your heavy snow. And you’ve got a new hat! Is that color called pewter or cloud grey?
How’s my garden, you ask? It’s fine! Growing right up, it is. You see, you weren’t gone long enough for us to be taken unawares by your return. Oh, do try to hide your disappointment, please.
Will you be staying with us long or do you have plans to take your chills elsewhere? June, you say? Well, won’t that be nice? I suppose we could do with a little more cold. I’d have thought you’d want to be moving south for the summer months. No worries, though. We have plenty of extra hats and mittens.
We’ll see you around then? I need to get out into the garden this morning, I’m sure you understand. Bye now! Have a nice freeze!
Cheeks: Dada?
Me: He rode the bus to work this morning. He’s not at home.
Cheeks: He rode the bus?
Me: Yep.
Cheeks: Why didn’t he run?
Me: To work? It’s too far to run. That would be hard.
Cheeks: It would be fun.
*If you’re wondering, it’s 12 miles from our house to Cody’s office. And, yes, with a lot of stammering and a little translating, Cheeks said all of that.
C: Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car” is pretty much my favorite song on Earth right now.
Me: ….
C: I mean, it’s not that good really.
Me: ….
C: I still click the thumbs-up every time Pandora plays it, which is A LOT. I tried making a “Fast Car” station and it never played “Fast Car”!! So I deleted it.
Me: …
C: I don’t even know the words.
