Random Notes from the Sandwich Life

1.  O.K....I've got a frigging cold. Can NOT believe it.  Oh well...hopefully I'll feel better by Saturday.  We're  moving into the pre-party state where you start crossing things off your list and saying, "oh, no way is THAT getting done."  Uhhhhh.....guess we're not painting our porch or our screen door....guess we're not reframing and framing some various pieces of artwork, etc.......

2.  This morning Owen demonstrated some dance moves learned in school.  Leo said, "Owen...that's RUSSIAN dancing."  I asked Leo if he did that and he looked at my in disbelief and said, "NO, of course not."  I can't help myself...he just makes me giggle.  I gave him a hug and told him he looked handsome and as he sweetly hugged me back he said, "I DON'T care."  That's my boy.

3.  Yesterday Owen said to a neighbor, "So who are you going to vote for president in the election?"  She said, "well Owen, we lean a little to the right" and he replied, "well, we're voting for Obama and we have a sign in our yard!"  She said, "I  saw that."  I don't know why that exchange amuses me so but it does.  If he keeps this up I'll have to explain that it's not polite to ask someone directly because for some people it's private.  He's so easily wounded and ready to think he's done something wrong though that I'll let it go for now.  That boy is amazing though...absolutely amazing.  You should see him with my Mom....double checking that her wheelchair is locked in place...one of his new worries is if the food we give her is o.k. for her teeth.  He is so caring that one....and funny...just damn funny....

4.  Judi goes to her oncologist for the official results of her biopsy this morning.  She's having a tough time.  Of course.

5.  We're still trying to track down a stand alone CD burner so we can record the show at our party.  Any ideas?
