- Today's morning activities include making Chex mix. Maybe we'll eat it for breakfast…why put milk on cereal when you can COOK it? :) #
- "It's not school," 5yo insists, "unless it has speriments" (as in science). So far, brainwashing is successful. :) #

- RT @maureenwittmann: When in need, pray the bead! #
- RT @elizabethesther: Many Christians pray for an end to abortion. But I wonder how many of them use abortifacient birth control? #
- A nearly perfect day, full of ponies and grandmas and friends and tea. #
- Wearing my first pair of knitted (not by me) socks. I'm sold! (Too bad I don't knit!) #
- 2yo's new game: take things out of the fridge, put other things in. It's great fun (for her). #
- Nothing like a shot of ginseng peppermint tea and some dark chocolate to get this party started! (the lasagna making party, that is) #
- I will…not…covet…an…iPad…because, after all, I have new boots that smell horsey. And that is WAY better! (In my world, it is!) #
- RT @MarkRSz: To deeply breathe the sweet essence of the night…sleep in peace, unaware of the morrow's madness #

- Email from husband beginning "kudos to my wife maker of fine lasagna" just made my day. What a guy! #
- Right now, in my house: two 5yo girls, galloping through the house and neighing every so often, for good measure. #
- One 5yo to other: Pretend you saw a coyote trying to steal a horse (loud neigh) & you had to save it. #
- I can't get the idea of delving into the Catechism for Lent out of my mind. I'll blog a plan on Saturday (fingers crossed, breath held). #
- Are you as addicted to SQPN as I am? If so, put your money where your mouth is at http://www.sqpn.com #sqpn #

- From a friend: 5yo yells "This is desquisite!" (exquisite & probably delicious) 2 bites later "Too exquisite and now disgusting." #
- Tempt me not with offers of an upgrade to smartphone, Verizon. I am immune of gadgetlust not related to iPad (for this moment, at least) #
- I love that someone found my blog searching "is cesar millan catholic" (I suspect yes. I have no proof.) #
- Party at my place includes @arwenelizabeth cooking and childcare by @Deacontom, Dee, and me. Anyone else want to join? :) #
- Rumor has it that @Deacontom's word of the week is TRIPE, as in "It's tripe that @arwenelizabeth is cooking THERE, not HERE." #

- So much for sleeping tonight. My preorder of @LisaHendey's book was in my mailbox. Woohoo! #
- 5yo asks: "Would you rather eat a green tomato with a dead wasp or a red tomato with a tomato bug on it?" (Neither isn't an option.) #
