and tomorrow we shall have lasagna. maybe.

We won a million dollars! Oh no, wait a minute. There's just a new webkinz in the house. And it's an elephant. But we don't talk about it. It's like we don't even see it.

My husband fixed the oven! So last night I ran out and bought some food to stick in there and I watched it cook almost the entire time. I pointed out things like, "It's getting hot!" and, "The element - it's turning red!" Listen, and here's the truth, I know a lot about ovens and how they work such as they get hot and their parts turn red. That might also be how other things work. But really, I only know about ovens. I wish I could be more helpful.

I spent an hour last night trying to teach myself how to play harmonica. I can play half ass versions of Red River Valley and You Are My Sunshine. Sometimes I get disoriented and I don't draw in when I'm supposed to and I blow when I shouldn't (that sounds maybe a little gross) and damn, that ruins the song. I am serious though about this harmonica thing. I've been sitting here wondering if I should buy a more professional harmonica and give my daughter back the very nice but not professional harmonica she received in her stocking. I mean it is hers.
