A bummer, questions, and peoples!

This morning I was really looking forward to posting some great pics of the girl and I had some funny stories that went along with them. Unfortunately, that won't be happening because my computer has decided it doesn't feel like letting the G drive work and so I'm left pictureless and a bit disappointed. I have to wait for the husband to come home and fix it. Where would I be without my Mr. Fix-it-all?

I'll share a few funny stories that don't require pics anyway.

Funny things I find myself saying/asking Tim:

The other night Tim was in the shower and I was washing my face and I said, "Before you get out will you make sure your face is rinsed off really well for me?". And he says, "I'm sorry honey, do I not wash good enough for you? Do I need more practice? [laughing]" Then i realized how absurd my request was and how it sounded but it was only because I forgot he could not read my thoughts prior. If he could he would have known I was thinking aobut how his face wash bleaches our towels [and i just got two new ones...that already have bleach spots] and I have seen him get out of the shower with soap particulates on his jaw...SOOOO, what I said made perfect sense only he just thought I was being quite a control freak and a little too mothery! Ha! Moral is--> Husband's can not read minds, they just can't.

Questions I have asked him recently that usually require me calling him randomly in the day:

"why is it, again, that helium balloons shrink when they are taken in the cold and then get bigger when it's warm?"....I know, I know, we learned this stuff in 5th grade, but I had a mind blank, I had just gotten off night shift and bought alex a V-day balloon and I wanted to know exactly what those crazy little gas particles are doing in there and why!

I was driving and saw three horses laying down in a field and freaked! Call T, quick, I thought. "T, are horses allowed to lay down, or I mean is it ok if they do?" T [in a car with business associate driving to Indy for meeting] "Yes, it's ok. Sometimes they will for a little while. It doesn't necessarily mean they are sick, sometimes they just do it for short periods of time." Relieved, I thanked him for his answer, expressed my concern for the horses I saw and let him return to 'more grown up' thoughts and conversations! ha!

"Could I swim accross the Ohio River if I really had to?" I asked as we were driving to his folks' house. [A little background: When I went to school in Lville I use to wonder what I would do if something happened to the bridges or some terrorist attack happened and I would be seperated from my babe and T by a huge Ohio River. I always assumed I would just jump in and swim accross, thinking if I rotated forward strokes with back strokes I could do it. T said, "That's at least a mile wide, I doubt it." I panicked...and explained the techniques I would use, maybe then he'd see I had a plan and COULD do it. Come to find out I didn't think about the currents that could pull me under. Bummer. At least I don't have that worry anymore.

The questions are endless, and usually he knows the answers so I just keep on asking them. I should keep track of all the bizarre and strange q's I ask him because sometimes they are pretty funny and always very random, very serious, and always while he is working and probably has to then explain to his co-workers that his wife has too much time with her own wacky thoughts.

A funny bean story:

Yesterday, in the glorious weather, I took the Girl to the playground up the road from us. When we were there there was a family practicing baseball or something that I saw as we were playing. But where A stood she couldn't see them but could hear them when they started laughing. She stopped what she was doing, put her hands on her cheeks and said after a gasp, "I hear sump'n, mom---"....silence for a moment and I waited what she would do next while she was frozen in her steps..."It's peoples, mamma! I hear peoples!". Too cute! She is always good for a giggle or two or thirty-nine. Also during this same visit, in the middle of our playing on the slides she stopped, looked at me very seriously and said, "I need to have a seat, mamma" and walked over to a little spot on the jungle gym we were on that had a little seat and sat down. She sat perfectly still and quiet for a few moments and just looked around as if she was taking it all in...got up and said, "All done. Slides?" She's quite the character.

All right, that's all I got. I will try to post those pics sometime soon. Enjoy the weather!
