- a lady pushing a tri-stroller, one seat in front of the other - with triplets?!

[long time no post] thank goodness i'm back in the city - no more boony experiences in modesto, though i'm sure i'll be back there some time this year... work has totally engulfed me these days, i've had little time to think about much else. life has just been back-to-back action, with no space between!~ what do you do when that happens?

as a result of all this back-to-back action, i haven't been able to sleep very well. i guess my body still has its momentum, and doesn't want to rest. i *cannot* get up in the morning! dah!

it seems i'm not the only one though....

laztigger: you know, last thursday i fell asleep in the shower
laztigger: for like... 10 minutes
laztigger: sat down on the bottom of tub and was out
DUMdeeDUM dI: hahahahaha
DUMdeeDUM dI: you're kidding!
DUMdeeDUM dI: i'm sorry, i don't mean to laugh
DUMdeeDUM dI: that's dangerous quinn!
laztigger: haha yea, but man that was a great 10 minute nap ;)

[childhood] we watched toy story last night - andy is so creative with how he plays with his toys, creating bank robbery scenes and wiping out soldiers and all that. i don't think i was ever that imaginative! haha, i remember playing THREE things repetitively in my childhood.

(1) Banker - I think this was b/c my dad is a banker and I'd always hear him talk about money, investment, etc. Using Disney or Monopoly money, I would log how much money we had in an envelope, and then my little brother would come and say he'd want to withdraw some money, and I'd subtract it out! I'd also make him sign these make-up forms and stuff - haha, I guess I was an accountant at heart! (what a scary thought)

(2) Don't get eaten by sharks - when we lived in Jakarta, we had the whoooole top floor as our playroom. We also had this ENORMOUS couch that could probably sleep 5 kids on one end of the floor, and that was our SHIP! Dru and I would lay out all of our books along the floor, and hop skip around. The rules were that we couldn't touch any tiles, otherwise the sharks would eat us! An added complication - tiles were slippery, so when you hopped on a book, you easily could slip off! One by one, we'd hop from book to book to make it back to our ship, where we'd then reward ourselves with tv and video games :D

(3) Cooking - oh, how i loved this! i had this little battery operated stove and it was the COOLEST!! (i always wanted one of those fisher price cooking sets though) anyways, it came with a frying pan and a sauce pan. you could put water in both of them and then when you put it on the stove and turned it on, the stove would blow air through so it really looked like things were frying and water was boiling! i would always make breakfast for dru - sunny side up or boiled eggs. hahaha!

oh i miss those days =T
