Dad, you shouldn't say stupid.  It's not a nice word.

I haven't said anything in the last ten minutes.  I'm eating.  In fact, I don't use that word.  (Not out loud, at least.)

I know.  I'm just saying, you shouldn't say stupid.

(Zane steps in)  Zia, you just said it two times.

No, I didn't.

Yes, you did.

No, I told Dad not to say stupid but I didn't say stupid.

You just did it again.

No, I didn't.

Anyone else have problems reasoning with a three year old?

If I could smell, I feel certain the lavender bubbles now scrubbing the grime from by body would have gone straight to my brain adding to the euphoria quickly consuming me.
As it was, it just felt good to be getting clean,  so good I added a shave.
Yep.  There's nothing like a good shower to revitalize and invigorate tired, sore and smelly muscles.

Over all to soon, I stepped onto the warm tile floor and reached for my towel.

What?

It's only just begun?

You have got to be kidding me! 

For all intents and purposes January was scheduled to start with a bang.  The first (Jan 1) is our wedding anniversary.  I may have mentioned something about that in a previous post.  Anyway, we learned early on in our married life that unless Cracker Barrel is your idea of the perfect setting for a romantic anniversary dinner, you're not going out to eat on ... ]]> http://edlamaze.com/2008/01/05/2008-the-year-in-review.aspx/feed 11
