Have Cape, Will Travel

Thing2 is still in the throes of his superhero, and, when I ask him why he loves being a superhero (he says he likes to save people), it seems like a good fantasy world he’s built.  The only drawback is when his superhero persona (SuperDude) blends into his everyday average hero persona.  Even I get confused. And I have a firm grip on reality.  Really.

Signs of Spring – Hello Stupid

Blog signs of spring stupid

The last mountain of snow has melted down to a molehill and we’re seeing signs of spring. Some signs, like the mud that turns our dirt road into an extended series of speed bumps, are more obvious than others.

Everyone deals with mud season in their own way.  Someone was reveling in it, deciding a drive through the muddy corn field at the end of the town road was better than waiting at the stop sign a few feet away, apparently prompting the field’s owner to plant this sign of spring a few days later.  I don’t know why, but I get a kick out of it every time I’m sitting at the stop sign.

 

T’is the Season

It’s not that I don’t know how to diet or why I should diet.  It’s that the mercury just climbed into the 50s and, without the extra layer of Long-Johns under my jeans, I can convince myself that I have a little breathing room between now and the hell that is swimsuit season.  But I swear I can get serious.  Really.  As soon as the Easter candy is gone.
