What up, y'all? In an effort to post more frequently. Here I am.

Is that enough? No? damn.

It has been an interesting couple of weeks. I've been making new friends, rediscovering old ones, and appreciating current ones. I feel very friendly today. Tomorrow I fully intend to crawl back into my little hermit hole alone again. All this friendliness is starting to wear me down.
Seriously, though, I usually think of myself as a fairly social person. I like people, lord knows I am not shy, and I like to do things. But I have realized recently that I tend to slip into periods of hermit-ness. It's kinda weird, cause I don't feel lonely or bored. I just like to take a break. From people. Does that make me weird? Discuss the topic fully in a 3 page essay, due on Monday. This will count towards your final grade.

Claire just ran up and started waving her arms in my face. When I asked her what she was doing, she panted, "Excercising. To get me stronger." She pumped her arms two more times and said, "There." I was all, "Are you done? Cause you only did like 6 reps. I doubt you are stronger yet." her response was to put her hand on her hip and cock her head. "Mom. I am so stronger I can do KARATE. HIIII-Yahhhhhhh!"
Man, if only my brain was a camera, I'd have some funny pictures to show you.

My favorite thing Dex is doing right now is also turning into a wake up routine. Every morning, I get him out of bed, and he lays his head on my shoulder, still half asleep, and says in his croaky, whispery, sleepy voice, "Momma, I a monkey. ooh ooh ahh ahh." This of course, is quickly followed by, "I wanna sit onna couch. watcha da teevee. wanna cuppa juice. wanna bowla cheer-ohhsss. needa keen diapah." How quickly he goes from cute to demanding.
