Bits and pieces

So D and I are going to Disney World this year. We usually take a vacation in March and we usually go to Miami. I wasn't thrilled about Miami this year. It just doesn't seem kid-friendly. Since E is in a phase of screeching in restaurants (he actually says, "EEEEEE!"), D saw the light. E may be too young to fully enjoy Disney World, but it's definitely kid-friendly. And the hotel we plan to stay in has a pool. He can wear his little bathing trunks from Talbots.

In other news, my SIL had a celebrity spotting (and actual interaction)! Her e-mail is below (I took out some identifying details).

"I met Matt Damon today. I was in the elevator with my ____ today at ____ and the elevator stops and he and his wife Lucy, and their 2-year-old Isabella get on - they were touring the school. We teachers were introduced to him by a fellow teacher and we shook his hand. He was very friendly and totally hot. It was a good day."

I like the "totally hot" part. I heart Matt.

If only you were going to Orlando in April! That's when we'll be there. You should go to Disney's Animal Kingdom. The last time we went to Orlando, we went there, but it was raining, so we left before seeing everything. E would probably like the animals.

We don't get many celebrity sightings here in rural Kentucky. But I did see George Clooney's mom and dad in the Cincinnati airport once. (They live near here.)

Kitkat - I bet he would! Right now we're having trouble finding a hotel room :( But I'll keep the animals in mind.

Judy - that's cool :) We saw GC once in NYC...

L is in a screeching phase, too. He is fascinated by the power of his voice.

Maybe you guys can have a sitter while you're there, so you can go out by yourselves once or twice?

My husband would be so jealous. He's admitted to having a man crush on Matt Damon. Of course I can't let it go and tease him endlessly about it. ;)

Vegetable personalities

At the risk that you'll all think I'm nuts...but heck. I was getting cauliflower ready for dinner and it occurred to me that vegetables have different personalities. In my mind, anyway. Zucchini: the most agreeable of vegetables. It blends in with everyone, but it's never obsequious or false to itself. Sweet potatoes: the grandmother of vegetables. Very cozy and welcoming. Cauliflower: kind of bland, devoid of personality, but it could surprise you sometimes. Like a dull guy who occasionally tells a funny joke at the water cooler. Broccoli: feisty. Like a terrier. Spinach: kind of dour, but a loyal friend. Kale: has a fierce sense of individuality, but like spinach, is a loyal friend. Kale's affections last for life. Corn: this one is kind of a party animal. Corn is still drinking beer and making a mess when you'd like to be closing up. Tomatoes: a little sloppy. The kind of vegetable that needs to be reminded to tuck its shirt into its pants. Cabbage: not invited t...

happy birthday e!

[Posted by Bearette's husband until she has Internet access] e was born today! 8 pounds even, a cute and healthy baby boy. He likes to stick out his tongue just a little, and move his mouth around. The hospital gave him a little white hat with a purple pom pom. Bearette is tired but happy. Pictures soon.

Eventful

A lot has happened today already. I went to meet D for lunch and along the way I spotted a Boston terrier -- one blue eye, one brown. I stooped to pat it and then I heard an ear-bruising screech!! Everyone's head whipped around. Even the dog jumped. A taxi had squealed to a halt and there was a delivery boy on its hood. Somebody yelled, "Call an ambulance!" The boy seemed fine, even hopping on his bike to finish his deliveries -- but everyone persuaded him to stay. I took out my cell phone but another woman was already giving details to 911. After the woman finished the call, I was satisfied that help was on its way, so I continued. There were a bunch of rubberneckers/supporters gathered around the boy, so he wasn't alone. The dog stayed too. I was shaken by this, of course, but then something amusing happened. A few blocks later, I knelt down to pat a beagle tied outside a coffee shop, and it let loose with this big mournful howl: AROOOO. Everyone smiled, including a...
