Stress!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I'm down to the wire on a few projects, so may not be posting very coherently for about three weeks.

Which coincides with the date of Annie's wedding.

I am also overwhelmed by the demands of my position of continuing education director for our state organization of music therapy. We are being audited by the national board of certification and it is up to me to meet their demands.
Yes, that is just as scary and time-consuming as it sounds.
Deadline: July 1st.
Yippee! I love paperwork and phone calls.
NOT!

Meanwhile, a few photos from the last couple of weeks.
Vine maples in their newly leafed glory.


The mimosa in the early stages of leafing out.
I love it, I hate it.
If you've ever owned a mimosa, you will know why.


Mum with Jonnie's family before they left for Peru.


We had a Joshie day on Friday.
Here he is, relishing some honeydew melon.

In honour of Josh, some pointless questions.
Courtesy of Meg, who also has lots of useless facts if you're REALLY bored.

Daylight savings time -- why are they saving it and where do they keep it?
Did Noah keep his bees in archives?
Do jellyfish get gas from eating jellybeans?

Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations?
How do you get off a nonstop flight?
If Barbie's so popular, why do you have to buy all her friends?
If blind people wear dark glasses, why don't deaf people wear earmuffs?
If peanut butter cookies are made from peanut butter, then what are Girl Scout cookies made out of?
If space is a vacuum, who changes the bags?
If swimming is good for your shape, then why do the whales look the way they?
If tin whistles are made out of tin, what do they make fog horns out of?
If you can't drink and drive, why do bars have parking lots?
Why do the signs that say "Slow Children" have a picture of a running child?
Why do they call it "chili" if it's hot?
Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?

  2. ROFL. Now that we can comment again, I've been visiting your past post.
    I hadn't known that the spittle bugs were here already. Ewe... I hate those things.
    I loved the videos. 3:30 in the morning and I'm sitting her cracking up!
    And your Dad! Is he ever good looking. He looks like he'd be a happy person and that was a nice tribute to him.
