Happy Friday, Ladies!

This is great, though I think they need a category for trying to stop toddler from throwing food on the floor.

My wacky employer pays our "overload" pay (like overtime but in education) all at once for the year, so we went out last night to "seafood night" to celebrate that and my faculty teaching award. Luckily our friends were having a birthday dinner at the next table, so their 4 year-old having a meltdown drowned out Liam's antics

And, wow, does he love crab legs. We should move to Alaska with you!

It sounds like you had a great dinner.  I love crab legs too, but I haven't introduced them to Chase yet.  After he reacted to peanut butter, I decided to wait until he was 2.  I would rather not have to use his epi-pen. Congratulations on your teaching award!

Awww... Thanks! So far, no food allergies, so we're lucky. Yesterday was a great day for me, but Cheryl Strayed must be having the best day, ever. Oprah just announced that she just brought back her book club, especially for Cheryl's book:

We're all going nuts on Facebook, telling her to buy an island! It's making it hard to concentrate at work

That is awesome!  I'm gonna have to get the book, definitely.  I was on the Facebook page for a while, but was bumped off for some reason.

Oh, I meant on Cheryl's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/#!/cheryl.strayed

I never did TheBump Facebook page. (If that's what you meant.) Reese Witherspoon has the movie rights; Oprah has the electronic rights. Wow. I, on the other hand, am grading a research paper on the Constitutionality of the Federal Reserve

Twirple

OK, I just looked at Cheryl's Facebook page.  It is very exciting.  It's amazing that both Reese Witherspoon and Oprah are so interested.  

Constitutionality of the Federal Reserve?  That sounds enthralling.  I hope it is at least well written, for your sake.

The book is that good... Seriously.

As for the paper I just finished, I think it's all these "young-ish" Ron Paul fans... The paper ended with a conspiracy theory that Kennedy was assassinated for opposing the Federal Reserve. I'm leaving the office, picking up Jared and Liam, and heading to the Farmers' Market :-) Enjoy your weekend and squeeze Chase for me! And thanks for keeping me company!

We went out to dinner this past week also, and in addition to her KID'S meal, (quesadilla, grilled veggies and corn tomatillo), Ashlen ate some of the chicken out my salad, and some of my husband's fish and tortilla...and sampled a couple of crayons.  We figure she is so busy shoveling things in her mouth that she doesn't have time for anything else.  We've been lucky when we go out to eat.
