I have solved the rubik’s cube.

I took Seporah to nursery yesterday and she started putting the chairs down for class. I went to help but she kept moving my chairs like I was doing it wrong. When the teacher came in she put two tables right where Seporah had put the chairs. I don’t know if I am ready to not know everything in my daughters life yet.

John Mayer, Jack Johnson, Jason Mrez, all 3 good laid back, soft alternative musicians that no one can keep straight. Let me help. John Mayer is the Mac guy. Jack Johnson is the Hawaiian guy. And Jason Mrez is what’s left over.

John Mayer just redid Free Fallin’. Initially I didn’t really like the remake (Steven still doesn’t). But after hearing it a few times, I can’t get it out of my head.

So the movie was coming out Dec 12, now it’s Nov 21, say YEAH, that’s 3 weeks earlier! Not that I’m counting down or anything like that. BTW all 4 of my books are out being borrowed, I’m trying to convert as many people as possible to the amazing Twilight world.

Steven says I’m far too hyped up about the movie and it’s just going to be a let down because I’m expecting too much. I said he didn’t have to watch it if he didn’t want to.

(you know it’s about poop right?)

I was sitting on one of those rolling chairs and Seporah jumps into my lap without any warning. I actually fell straight backward, chair and all. It hurt a lot since I was protecting Seporah and didn’t brace myself even a little. I screamed and then I sat there momentarily stunned, trying to figure out what happened. When I didn’t respond, Seporah got panicked. She starts crying and yelling “YOU OK? YOU ALL RIGHT? MOMMY ALL RIGHT?!?!” I’ve never really seen her concerned for my well being, so it was quite nice to realize my toddler cares.

So we gave Seporah some cereal in a bowl because she was asking for it, but we wanted to get her to share with Felicity. As Felicity was reaching for it, Seporah dumped the cereal at her feet and hit her with the bowl. Now if Seporah has learned anything, she has learned she has to be gentle with Felicity, so believe me when I say she gently hit Felicity with the bowl. =)

Märia and I were getting a little frustrated with them and went into our room where Seporah followed us. She showed us the empty bowl, obviously asking for more. We told her it was in the living room. She looked at us and said “Mess! Mess!”. We said, of course it is a mess, we saw you make the mess, you ought to go clean it up. She looked up at us offended and said “Baby! Baby! Baby!”. It was quite obvious she was trying to blame the whole thing on Felicity. =)

I am sure Jason will tell you I was really good at blaming him for things I jacked up, but that is probably just how it works with siblings. We were just surprised at how young it could start! =) So that was first number 1.

First number 2… We ate at the California Pizza Kitchen… and didn’t like our meal! Now you have to understand, we LOVE the CPK and eat there probably 3 times a month. We have had almost everything on the menu and everything is wonderful. But we tried this Thai noodle dish, and it was just horrible. I had to try it 3 times just to be sure!

And First number 3… For the first time that I can ever remember, Märia actually asked to have her food replaced. She has had lots of meals that she didn’t like, and a couple of different restaurants, but she has never actually said anything about it. Today she got a free meal. =)

Does anything make bad days better than cute new shoes? The answer is of course, no.
