Mommy put a birthday hat on Mozart. Not because it was his birthday, but because it was leftover and hanging around from Prancer's birthday. He marches into the kitchen and I note, "Hey, you've got a birthday hat on!" He concurs, "Buh dee hit." Then he turn and walks into the dining room and ask, "Weh de buh dee kick?"
The wife and I look at each other, shaking our heads, he's just too smart. Of course, if he's wearing a birthday hat, there should be birthday cake!
Poor kid did not get a birthday cake, but was placated with a banana.

And in other news. Went to pick up Mme. Child's meat CSA and may get some bacon tips for the effort. The meat lady suggests making an alfredo sauce. Cook up bacon. Drain all but three tablespoons grease. Add three tablespoons flour, two cups milk, salt and pepper. Et voila. I may need to try that!

And still other news. I think the stars are crossed for getting anything done with speed around here. For one reason or another I have had a ridiculous amount of plans, repairs, and happenings DELAYED in BIG ways lately. Nothing too serious, but a lot of hassle. Car purchase = delayed by Sandy, then by parts arrival. Car registration = I was supposed to get it in the mail 3 days after purchase so I could have it inspected (by law) within the week, but car dealer computer problems, and then unexplained delays means I have not yet received it - more than two weeks later - it'll be in the mail tomorrow they say. Other car repair = take it in to diagnose clutch issue, take it back to do repair, part delivery delayed, in the mechanics words "the parts place is blowing sunshine up my ass!" and so we'll, hopefully, be back to two cars by end of day tomorrow. Oil bill = they say we owe them money, but we paid early (as evidenced by charge posted to account) and so got the discount meaning that we owe them nothing, now settled. Doctor bill = should not have even received this bill as I already paid it (and kept receipts) so after calling and calling back thrice, it is finally settled. Chimney = after two days of the masons no-showing, and then disappearing (leaving no chimney at all on our house) mid-job, finally done! Roof = still not done, will save that story, should I decide to tell it for later. Oie! I will now begin to plan for things to take at least three times as long as they should until the stars realign...
