17 flattering compliments:
You never cease to amaze me. Girl Spawn is sort of my best hero. I wish I could hang out in my undies all day. That, and what 4 year old knows that Uzbekistan is in California- within walking distance... she's amazing. Does she have a god mother? I'm in the market...
Star wars! Now that girl knows good movies!
you totally can be her god mother arwen.
nawyce.
Last week at Trader Joes, offered a sample of chicken soup:
me: no thank you.
girl: why don't you want the soup Aunt Janni?
me: I don't eat meat punkin
girl: but meat makes you big and strong
me: it's ok punkin.
girl: why don't you want to be big and strong Aunt Janni?
um..... well.....
bless her
Is Aunt Janni a veggie, really?! Cool!
I hang out in my undies all night... why hasn't someone told me it isn't couture?
:) Your kids crack me up!
No offense please, Arwen.
but...
How does Arwen rate that she gets to be the godmother?
Geez...
rebecca, you can be the godmother in less than a month, arwen is about to ditch us all for idaho.
okay, the poop post was funny, sure. but this, THIS post is likely my all time favorite post.
girl has more character and personality in that little body than los angelas and texas combined.
and better hair
and also...i won't pretend to deserve being the god mother...but can i be like a jesus-sister or a holyspirit-cousin?
(and yes. i do think i'm funny)
um... cause I ASKED? Can't expect to get anything if you don't ask for it...
didn't think of that one, didja...
:)
Dear Arwen,
May I have a million dollars?
Thank you,
Rebecca
Was I on a different Rebecca site earlier today? Where'd the cute lil' therapeutic cat go?
here's the answer about fergus - as copied from an email i sent a friend because i don't want to talk about it anymore...
As far as Fergus goes, that's just it. He's gone. I took him to the vet today for his check up, and he should be 3 pounds and is only 1 pound 6 ounces. He is soooo sick that the antibiotics that it would take to make him better would kill him, and he is soooo sick that vaccinating him would kill him, and the vet said that she was actually afraid he would die in his sleep in the next few days. Which explains why he was so sweet and docile. So she said I should take him back to the store and get my money back and make them nurse him back to health if that's even possible. I'm absolutely wrecked. Haven't cried so hard in a VERY long time. I really felt like I needed him, and now he's gone. I haven't told the kids the truth yet... I just don't know what to tell them, you know?
oh jeez. I'm so sorry RB! I can only imagine how awful that would be. It really sucks to get a cute little thing in the house only to have tragedy strike. We lost a very tiny pet rat in a bad territorial accident when I was a child. I'm so so sorry and my heart goes out to you.
d*** pet stores. (sorry to swear)
Becky, I'm so sorry that happened. My heart just hurts for you, and for the little kitty. We went through something very similar with a kitten a few years ago, and it was just heart-rending. I wish I could fix it.
Freakin' pet stores. I'm never getting an animal from pet store again--they always seem to be sick.
the only time i ever saw bruce almighty was in germany. it was IN the german language. and it was a pirated version someone got off the internet.
i thoroughly enjoyed the entire thing (even though i only understood about half of it).
arwen: i think it was lithuania.
