June Cleaver Nirvana

It is potluck Monday and I am just too busy to cook, but MeL just emailed me that I should serve "a good egg and sausage casserole (that) sounds good and fating". So MeL is bringing the food and google has yet another contribution to crazy new words that will bring you right here to nirvana headquarters. It is a win/win situation. For my vegetarian readership, I offer left-over mac and cheese, but it isn't just any mac and cheese (because I didn't make it!) it has spinach, tomatoes, onions and is just yummy. It was made by my personal chef for last evening. I could get used to living that life.

The lovely Kristian at Lessons in Motherhood tagged me for the following meme: Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself. This whole blog falls under this category so just 6 should be a break for my dear readers. Please go visit her and send good thoughts as she makes a big transition (and see a very cute baby picture).
1. I am a project girl. I prefer short-term projects because I am also #2. These projects then consume my life and thoughts and I try to come up for air occasionally to visit raise my children.
2. I am an instant-gratification girl, BUT realize this and try to temper it. I see no reason why dessert shouldn't be served only first.
3. I like Dr. Pepper and wish to drink it continuously (because of #2).
4. I am obsessed with family photos and digitially scrapbook every single waking moment (and a few sleeping ones) of my children's lives. I am only 5 years behind in this project which makes my issues quirky qualities #1 and #2 drive me to near insanity.
5. I wish I was sailing.
6. I could live the life of Becky Bloomwood-Brandon, but fear it wouldn't turn out as well.

The beautiful Sandy from Momisodes
sent over this this sweet award.
Thanks so much Sandy--I am in total blog nirvana. All I can say is that you better get over to her site because when I went to check the links there were pictures of a pregnancy test along with a very funny story.

Dear reader,
Thank you so much for reading. Thank you so much for commenting. If I could ever get up the energy to tackle photoshop, I would make you a super-cool award. It is because of you that this fabulous thing happened to me (see, I can twist anything into something about me). You voted! And....drumroll....a dramatic pause...I won the caption contest over at the fabulous Mrs. Fussypants! Yeah! Thanks so much for your support. Mrs. Fussypants, in her charming over-achieving ways is rolling out two new websites in the near future. Be sure to take a look at a sweet peek at The Gentle Art of Ruling Your Husband. She is also up for a bloggie, so please go vote for her.
Sincerely,
Holly

Tooth Fairy Update: We had our first visit from the tooth fairy last night. Ryan's lower right front tooth was lovely "nudged" in the outward direction by Bampa yesterday. Mimi provided a small ceramic box in the shape of a crown (very fitting) to transport the newly released tooth. I did not cry, even a bit! The tooth was placed bedside and $5 was deposited while little boys slept. Ryan seemed to know the tooth fairy's going rate according to classmates. He stated, "It is 5 dollars for a tooth and I was told that by a boy who doesn't even act very nice" implying that unlike Santa, the toothfairy is neutral on poor behavior.
