This weekend features one expected out-of-town guest (not staying with us, but still) and four unexpected ones. It includes awesome (and fully vegan, for those who care) rye buns, figs with proscuitto-gorgonzola-walnut topping/wrapping, lo these many caramelized brussels sprouts, and today two meals I have no hand in planning or making but will merely sit down and eat and thank the cooks. Yesterday it featured five dogs and an outstandingly nice baby who is not inclined to repeat herself so I was never sure which words she'd actually meant and which she'd just attempted, and also who is bilingual but not trilingual.* Today it will involve the rare and coveted godchild hat trick, which, I feel compelled to explain, does not mean shooting each of my three godchildren across ice into a net.

It also features vertigo and the dregs of a cold.

Anyone wondering why I'm not posting more to lj?

*Really. When I explained that the puppies did not say, "Miaow," but rather, "Woof woof woof!", she looked at me like I had lost my mind. "Miaow" was totally comprehensible. "Woof woof woof," was crazy talk.

Yay godchildren! Hug them an extra time for me, will you? Mine are so frellin' far away.

Two of mine are in town here, and I see them fortnightly. The other is usually in Texas, so it is a great deal more of a commute for visits.

Yeah, I've got one in Texas and one in Boston. Phone calls do not suffice.

Sounds like a good weekend. :)

And if this is Ms Lillian, I'm betting that cows, birds and the odd wildebeest might also say miaow. At two an all purpose word for beast and fowl saves so much time. Busy babies have things to do and people to charm. Grownups can just get around to figuring stuff out on their own.

No, Ms. Lillian is not until today (and is much readier to repeat herself!). This other Very Good Baby is a good year younger.

Silly child. You haven't lost your mind, the puppies have lost theirs.

*laughing* Thanks for the clarification. I did indeed go there.

timprov asked me if it was going to be a Gordie Howe hat trick. Heh. I hope not.

So far I did not assist Makenna, or fight with her, or shoot her down the ice into a net. So if I'm supposed to get a Gordie Howe hat trick, I am already behind by one godkid.

Nora has been miaowing at the dogs at her new daycare. Much to the amusement of her daycare provider.

Whenever we finally manage to set up dinner, I will attempt to reintroduce my woof-woof-woof craziness.

Then I will be the Crazy Woof-Woof Lady in your daughter's childhood. Um.
