Entry FeedOn Monday I went shopping for new skates. While sitting there in my warm skates, waiting for them to mold to my feet, I got to talking to the young guy who had helped me. Daughter was having a skating lesson on Tuesday, so I asked about the smallest skates which they carry.
"Oh, we carry a size 8. They are so cute and little! You could hang them from a rearview mirror!"
OK. First of all, do I actually look like someone who has something hanging from the rearview mirror of her minivan? Come on! And secondly, who would actually want to hang something sharp and metal about a foot from their face?

Daughter was acting crazy the other night as Husband and I were trying to get her to bed. She sort of teases Daddy. When I am not around, she is a daddy's girl full of affection for him. But when I am around and he tries to kiss her goodnight, she bucks and screams like she is having her leg amputated without anesthesia. Not good. So I said to Husband, "How can something so cute be so annoying?"
"I have been asking myself the same thing for the past 15 years," he answered, pointedly.
I was so excited! "You still think I'm cute!" I smiled. This is the closest to compliment that I have gotten out of Husband in about a decade. He thinks I am cute! YAY ME!

Today I was at the hairdressers for a long overdue appointment. I was telling her about my three bald babies, and how Son One now has so much thick, thick hair, "Well," she answered, "you have really dense hair, too. Fine, but really dense." Hmmm... I think that might be my second compliment of the week! I almost answered that my dense hair matched my dense thighs, but the hairdresser was young and skinny and I don't think that she would have gotten it.
Those are the things which amused me this week...
