On Guard, you land booger!

Not much to report has been going on lately, other than a constant reminder that I'm not to quit selling AVON as every time I think it about it, I get another couple calls. So, sorry Ken. You can't take the rest of the AVON stickers off the van yet.


I finished my first paid wedding cake last week. It turned out really pretty. I felt as though Grandma Gurr was admiring it from the other side and was very pleased as it was her favorite color. I could just hear her saying that it was the most beautiful cake she'd ever seen, I'm glad she approved. The bride loved it too and said it looked so perfect that everyone at the wedding thought it was fake until they cut it, so that was kinda cool.


There was a letter on our newspaper bundles this morning saying that the Juneau Empire wouldn't be going to an afternoon paper after all, at least not on Aug 17th like they originally said so my job is safe for the time being. I am currently looking for another job though, I don't want to deliver newspapers another winter. And, I'm sick and tired of being tired. The only thing is, finding a part time, evening job that will cover the rest of the bills that it needs to cover is going to be a challenge. Anyone need a cake baked?


Xander, as usual, continues to crack me up on a daily basis. He's only 3 yet he plays with words all the time. A few weeks ago he started saying "on guard, you land booger!" and we thought it was funny but we also corrected him and explained what a land "lubber" was and what not. But, he continued to say land booger. I guess I shouldn't be too surprised at my son, being a smarty pants.


Ruby has started jabbering more and more since our trip. I think it's because she got talked to a lot more down there than she gets talked to here. Mostly here, she gets growled at. Needless to say, she has started to growl again which I think is hilarious.


Ruby has cracked me up since she was born. I think that someone misinformed the little girl. I tell her all the time that babies really aren't supposed to say "waHHHH" nor do they really say "goo goo, ga, ga". Babies only talk like that in the movies. She doesn't seem to care and continues to say "Wahh" and "goo, goo, ga, ga." What a goof.
