KG's Hideaway

My sister couldn't get off work so I ended up taking my niece to the dentist today for her first appointment. She was so funny! When they first tried getting the toothbrush in her mouth she squirmed and cried and kept trying to brush her hair with it. Then she realized that whatever was on it tasted good and then she wouldn't get it out of her mouth at all. Soooo funny!

All day she kept saying "Onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnteeeeeeeee" (her version of Auntie) and I love it! She spent most of the day spelling out the words on my shirt. I've just had on this old t-shirt with the name of the kids' elementary school on it so all day long I heard, "B E S S R A C E" She knows her damn letters, that's for sure! I make a real effort not to cuss around her but today I dropped my lense cap for the camera and said, "Oh shoot!" and sure enough, she repeated it perfectly. My sister would have slit my throat if I'd have said "shit!" When my kids were little I wouldn't cuss around them, but my mother slipped and nearly fell one night when Austin was about a year and a half old. She said, "Oh shit!" and Austin looked right at her and said, "Shit, gongong, shit!" (Gongong was his version of Grandma for about 4 months)

I also had to take my engagement ring to the jewelry store and get my prongs redone. My ring sits up pretty high and I've bent the crap out them and the diamond finally started moving. I've only taken my ring off on four occasions (surgeries) and it went right back on as soon as I was out of surgery so I was dreading not having it. To my total surpise they had my ring ready three hours later! How's THAT for service? I also had them solder my wedding ring to it... finally!

So Friday I'm going to buy a new lense for my camera. Actually, that's not definite but I do want to get a lense extender at the very least. Craig just told me to get it if I want it... so I shouldn't pass that up, right?
