songs that make me cry everytime

(in no particular order)

• All My Trials, Peter Paul and Mary (the only cover band I approve of)
• It's Alright, Don't Think Twice, Bob Dylan
• Maybe Not, Cat Power
• Little Boy Bubble, when sung by my grandpa
• Bei Männern welche Liebe fühlen, Mozart

I'm a wubby. The end.

Big bag o' pictures

I just have too much stuff in my house. I have decided to just start scanning my pictures and discarding the originals. I have BAGS of photos, I don't scrap and if I did I would just end up with tons of books. Am I wrong to just ditch the artifacts after scanning?

Lost verses of The Diarrhea Song.

Av came up with these verses of The Diarrhea Song..
"If you feel a toot, but you need to go poop and it comes out poop instead of the toot, its diarrhea, diarrhea."
"If you see an X on a map, and it makes you poop, then diarrhea, diarrhea."
"If you see a pillow, and you sit on it and you think you tooted, but it really was poo, diarrhea, diarrhea."
"If your at a park, and you go down a slide while your poop comes out, of your bum, diarrhea, diarrhea."

The End.

Better than you!

I think the generation before mine would describe my actions as "Yuppy".
Today I:

• Donated $$$ to public radio (KRCL)
• Drank a Kombucha tea
• Ate organic flax seed blue corn tortilla chips with organic mango salsa

 Nananana boo boo, I'm better than you, stick your head in doo doo.

Big R

After I posted Av's thoughts about Jesus, I came up with some thoughts of my own..Not so much about Jesus, but about whether or not I should start correcting Averie about the things she thinks and says about Him. And I decided that whatever she thinks about Him, religion or whatever is just fine. I want her to have her own thoughts about this kind of stuff, no matter how irrational or profound they may be. I feel like I was always told what I should believe, and in turn have grown to believe almost nothing. Maybe, if I had been encouraged to believe whatever I felt to be right, I would actually have some sort of connection to my religion. I mean, what good does telling a kid that what they think about heaven, or God is wrong? What good does that do anyone?
I love that my family is so involved in their religion, and I will always support their spiritual endeavors, no matter what they are. I hope that if or when I find some sort of spiritual connection, or whatever I decide moves me in that direction I will be met with the same kind of support.

More thoughts about Big J.

Averie's thoughts about Jesus are my favorite things ever. Today she told me that the earth is actually Jesus' body. The roads are his neck, our house is his big toe and the clouds are his nips. Also, it is raining right now because Jesus was playing a lot this morning and got really sweaty and stinky, so he had to take a bath.
No disrespect, she is 4.

Funny little A

Here are some recent developments in Av's world...

Averie told me this was "The mask of a good woman". Deep.

• Meep. Instead of answering me yes or no, sometimes she will just say Meep.
• She wants to be Cat Woman for Halloween because Connor at school is going to be Batman, but she doesn't want to marry Connor because her one true love is a boy named Case.
• Casper (the friendly ghost) is still hanging around our house, but he is now her brother as opposed to her one true love. Thanks Case!
• Av can do math on her fingers. Can you believe it??!?
• According to Averie, when you play this little piggie the pinky pig is the smelliest one of all.
