1. This morning there was an email at work that on March 2 we would be having a Ben Franklin impersonator at our school to share the "Magic of Reading" with the kids. In response, I immediately broke out in laughter imagining the day going something like this: http://www.spike.com/video/office-dwight-vs-ben/2818200
2. While reading about Mary Breckinridge bringing much needed medical attention to the people of Appalachia, I intended to emphasize with my group that there were no hospitals. When asked why a mother and baby might have died during childbirth, (I was looking for "because there were no hospitals") one student responded "Well, maybe the baby was really big and it was kicking, and...." Maybe this isn't the book for seven-year-olds?
I laughed quite hysterically about that one on the way home.
3. Last night I was thinking about all the tiny things I can take to the Lord in prayer. I chose to pray about a roach I thought I might find in my house.
4. I laughed out loud to myself as I remembered: Life is too hysterical to be taken too seriously. No one gets out alive anyway.
5. I realized a roach's purpose in life: To make me brave.
7. My wonderful husband ordered my favorite chocolate from my favorite store in California, Chuao. I have a box of 25 "Firecrackers": Caramel fudge with chipotle chile and salt coated with pop rocks and then coated in chocolate. A-maz-ing. (Too bad the Marine Corps thinks that Valentine's Day should be celebrated in the field.)
8. Adam has been with his new unit over at Camp Lejeune since December. He loves it. He talks about it all the time. Alllllllllllll the time. I now make him spice up the convo by using everyone's call signs in lieu of real names. I also assigned this rule to my friend Jenn, when referring to our husbands. Conversations are now dabbled with names like "Slick", "JoeBob", "Cooter", and "Mouse".
