ok, you know, i always stay true to my word. tonight will be no different. here's the deal. TECHNICALLY, i didn't make that last post, "tomorrow, i blog" until 12:01 AM....which means i have until TOMORROW to post. hee. hee. sorry, i was always one to 'toe the line'. really now, it's been one of those days...such good intentions to accomplish much. what i ended up doing was spending most of the day with kath and her boys. which i might add is one of the nicest ways to spend a day. tomorrow i'm off to shop in Seattle for the day. i'll blog when i can...and yes, Angela, it WILL be a blogging marathon! :)
thank you faithful readers for keeping up with me.

sam's funnys...
this morning, at breakfast we were having a conversation about iHop. rye and i LOVE eating there. for me, some of my favorite memories were made over breakfast there when my sister and hubby lived in Chicago. anywho....it's a great little 'greasy spoon' place. (sorta like Denny's only not THAT greasy) fantastic pancakes and really good coffee. however, we've never taken the kids along. Obviously because out of the mouth of my 10 year old comes this quote:
"i've never been there but isn't it a place where people with just one leg go?"...seriously now. that's funny. looks like our family will be making a trip to iHop in the very near future so that we can show our children that people of all sorts are welcome there.
another 'sam funny'....
after church we made a quick stop in at Safeway. while walking the bread isle, i pointed out that we should grab a loaf of 'texas toast' to go with our dinner tonight. sam says, "mom, sorry to say but that kind of bread is a little too bulky for me!". ok then, we'll eat just regular, skinny bread for dinner.
