Why are Goldfish Crackers so darn good?
I read the ingredient list carefully, and it doesn't say anything about heroin, meth *or* crack cocaine. Unless "monocalcium phosphate" is slang for that stuff now. Kids these days, I'm not hep to their jive any more...
Seriously, I think I need to put the crackers down and actually drive away from my house to stop eating them!
Is there some sort of 12 Step program I can join to get the Goldfish monkey off my back? Maybe one with 24 steps, so I can curb my Twilight habit, too?

That's it! I give up!
My laptop is dead again. It's on its way back to HP to get fixed again. I'm reduced to using the crappy desk top from back in the day. Again.
Grrr, technology is vexing me! I'm just going to take my family and go live in a cave. If you need me, send smoke signals.
To add to the fun, I have two dental appointments this week. One is my regular checkup, and I've learned the hard way not to skip those! (At least not for six years straight.) The other is the periodontist following my gum graft. Don't you wish you were me? Yeah, everyone does.
On a happy note, I'm going with a friend to see Twilight tomorrow night. Guess how many times this will be? I really probably need help...

Sage's Stitches are OUT!!!!
It's been 2 weeks since her surgery, and today the stitches came out.
Because they had to go so deep to remove all of the affected tissue, she's got about a zillion stitches inside, but those will dissolve and we don't need to worry about them. Today they just took out the ones on the surface.
They said she's looking good, and that she'll still probably be worn out sometimes because of how the procedure went, but that just having the stitches out should make her feel better. Whew!
Yesterday, I took her and some other tweens out to see Twilight. Yeah, again. Actually, I saw it once in the interim without telling you guys, so this was the 7th time. Yes, I understand that I have a problem... What of it?
Anyway, yesterday was the first time she was able to get a shower and go out and do stuff for any length of time. Yay for Sage! So, I think she's starting to really recover, either that or the Twilight movie has some magical healing powers. Given the migraine I ended up with yesterday, I'm pretty sure it's the former, or maybe it just doesn't work for old people?
Either way, I'm glad to see her up and about more!

Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa....
During a conversation I had with my Dad the other day, he expressed his disappointment that I haven't been blogging much. There was nothing I could do but hang my head in shame and promise to do better.
Part of the problem is that I have been goofing off way too much on Facebook (I'm Jen Lindner-Green if you want to "friend" me.) It's very different from blogging, but I get more feedback there and I keep hooking up with old friends so I just sort of gravitated off in that direction. I am ever so sorry. You guys deserve better. Do you still love me?
Another part of the problem is that Sage finally had that precancerous birthmark removed in a surgery that turned into a big gory mess (but I got to watch the procedure, which was most excellent!) The recovery has been a lot more stressful than it would normally be. The bad news: They expect a great deal of bleeding during scalp surgery, and while we like to see Sage exceed all expectations, we don't mean stuff like this. It really was pretty awful. The good news: She is 100% cancer free, and this surgery shouldn't need to be repeated. So, as soon as we get her healed up, she's done, duh duh done (think "Dragnet" for the tune to that) with this whole experience.
Other than that, all is good! Homeschooling is ripping right along, and we get to go to the County Coroner's Office in March. We were supposed to go last year, but we were still suffering from the Iowa Death Flu. So, YAY, we're taking the kids to the morgue (temporarily)!
Oh, yeah, and Twilight has taken over our lives. We loves us some Twilight. We are planning to move to Forks and buy a house next door to the Cullens. So, the stalking has taken up a bit of time, not to mention trying to hide from the Volturri and the werewolves...
Seriously, between taking different groups of kids, etc, I've seen the movie 5 times in the theater. Me, the grownup! I was thinking hard the other day, trying to remember the last time I'd seen a movie more than once or twice in the actual theater... Not counting movies I've watched while only wearing a bra and slip, can you guess what the last movie was that I saw 5 times in the theater? Click here for the answer! Were you right? Let me know in the comments.
Anyhoo, I'm here. I will be here more often, because it breaks my heart to disappoint my Dad. I love you, Dad!
