Tidbits

Here’s a question for ya: Why does the ice cream truck show up in our neighborhood at 4:45 each day? Ignoring how this must frustrate mothers (I am one; it does), isn’t it just poor business sense to try to sell an item to a target audience of children who have no money of their own and thus rely on their parents to provide it, at a time (alllllmost dinner time!) when parents are most unlikely to provide said money?

I keep having very vivid dreams that Oliver has sprouted a mouthful of teeth- in fact, more teeth than most human adults have; they are seriously crammed in there- overnight, and the first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is pry his little mouth open to check and ensure that this is not true. I wonder what on earth this could mean. I need to make that dentist appointment I’ve been putting off for so long?  That’s my best guess.

I received a very awesome book in the mail a few days ago to review, which I have done and will post soon. But I wanted to let you all know that following the review, I’ll be giving the book away- yay!- so be on the lookout for the contest, and let people know.
