1. No. 2 Son’s most recent culinary experiment — American cheese niblets soaked in pure vanilla extract and water — spilled all over my kitchen when he tried to add a dash of Tabasco. In case you wondered, yes, American cheese does break down into a slimy facsimile of itself when soaked in vanilla water. On the upside, my kitchen smells like cookies.

2. No. 1 Son appeared in our metro newspaper today as part of a panel of experts who tested school supplies. The feature looked great, with full-color photos of all the kids. In response to the question, “What is your favorite subject in school?” No. 1 Son replied, “Recess.”

3. I went to a multi-class reunion mixer Friday night. About 300 of us stormed the local Cheeseburger in Paradise. Poor staff never knew what hit them… I forgot my camera and so am relying on others:

Husband (in green) and I (brown tank) amid 1/4 of the crowd. Seriously. See? Here’s another 1/4. of the crowd outside. And this is just 1/2 of the bar. Photos by Sean Tevis, nabbed from the Class of 1987 reunion weekend photos

4. JWKC’s Editors Day officially sold out today!! Whoo Hoo! We’ll welcome writers from across Kansas and Missouri as well as Ohio, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Florida. Fanboy, stop reading this blog and get back to writing!

6. Taking a family vacation for Husband’s 50th birthday next week. We’ll return home just in time to get No. 1 son to his first day of school. No. 2 son starts all-day Kindergarten this year. And that means in just fourteen short days I’ll have the house to myself for the first time in ten years! What will I do? *grin*
