A Post By Maggie....

Hey, hey, hey -- It's me, Maggie May Wood. 

Mama left with daddy in the fast wind maker, so I thought I sit and write a bit.  Some confusing things going on here.

Let me start with room names.  I don't get it.  Mama calls the food room the kitchen.  I don't know what a kitchen is, but I know what the food room is!  She calls the yarn room the family room.  There ain't no family in there.  Just mama, using that really fun yarn stuff  and wooden little sticks.  Sometimes that stuff makes her really happy and she smiles a lot, but sometimes she is ripping that yarn stuff out and yelling and saying some pretty bad words.  They are so bad, I best not repeat -- you know, that rolled up paper hurts! Then there is the garage...I don't know but it sounds a lot of garbage but I can't find the garbage in there, just the fast wind maker!  I love that thing!  Mama takes me on rides and we go super duper fast.  I stick my widdle head out in the air and smell so many things!  Good times in the fast wind maker!  Good times.  Then there is a yard, the back yard specifically.  I don't know what they are talking about but when they talk about it, dad cleans up my toilet room!!  I like a clean toilet room.  After he cleans it all up, I usually go back out there and make more fun to him to clean up; he really seems to enjoy it.  Then there is the ... *whispers* bathroom.... shhhhhh.  I like water, the river water, but not that stupid bathroom water place.  But, on the bright side, there is often a cold drink of water in there for me!

Okay on to other things.  Here's the deal...I go outside in my toilet room and I play around and chat with the neighbor dogs and chase the birds and sometimes, I just catch some rays!  Every once in a while the tree will drop a stick for me to play with.  I bring the stick into the house through my doggy door and mama gets mad.  She takes my present from the tree and throws it back outside.  Well...hello?  She throws, I bring back.  Isn't that the game?  So, I bring it back in.  She acts angry with me and tells me I have to stay outside with my stick, BUT, then she throws it again!  So...I go get it.  This goes on a few times until mom takes the stick away and throws it in the trash.  Don't worry, as soon as she goes upstairs I will dig in the trash and get it back out along with other things.  She says the trash is not my personal restaurant; I don't know what that means, but I know there is food in there and its good and its mine!  Back to the stick thing...mama doesn't like sticks in the house, apparently, but she just brought in a tree?  Not a stick but a whole tree!  I don't get it.  I was told that if I touch that tree my life is on the line.  I'm not sure what that means, but she was pointing her finger at me and talking in that very stern voice, so I pretended to know what she was saying, but I didn't know.  I just know there is a tree in the house with BALLS on it.  Yeah, I know!  Balls.  Tree.  Sticks.  All in the house but I get in trouble if I get too close.   Don't worry, as soon as she goes upstairs, I take the balls off and play with them.  Hello? They're balls!  They want to be played it.  I know it.  And now, there are boxes with bows on them under the tree.  I'm not allowed to touch those either, but I love ripping paper!  I love chewing boxes.  I can't figure out why she would put them on the floor if they are not for me.  Everything on the floor is for me!  Right? 

Okay, I'll make this part quick because when mama starts gagging, she gets water in her eyes and then I have to go kiss her, but when she is picking up my puke, she doesn't want a kiss.  I don't understand this.  She also gets mad because I puke on the rug.  Well, of course I puke on the rug, its cushiony on my feeties!  The tile floor is cool in the summer time when the sun is hot, but I would never throw up on the tile!  I like throwing up on the rugs!  I can always tell where my puke used to be on the rugs because it leaves what mama calls a stupid stain.  I can't tell on the tile.  So, duh.  I puke on the rug so I can enjoy the pretty colors all year long!  I can't figure out why mama gets mad about that, it's really an improvement on the old boring rugs.  Really. 

Well, that's all I got to say today.  Well, except that I love mama and she loves me.  She says I am her mostest favoritest baby Maggie girl in the whole wide world and I believe her.  She lets me sleep with her and keep her warm.  She lets me love her when she is sad.  She says, "Bless you," when I sneeze (that's a whole nother blog!).  She tells me I am the bestest foot warmer in the whole world and she's got some cold feeties!  It's just Maggie and Mama - together forever!  I love her and she loves me. 


XOXO

Randomness....

It's been a long while....so, I thought I would share just a few things I have been thinking about.

Downton Abbey.  Wow...  Classes within classes!  Who knew?

Maggie hates it when mama cries.

We have some major road construction going on in Stockton on I5 (until 2015?  Yuck).  When you are headed North on I5, there is a point where the construction starts.  The lanes go down from four lanes to three.  Not a big deal....for those who READ road signs!  Okay...really?  I am in the fourth lane, I can read that in 2 miles my lane is going to end, so what do I do?  I get over.  What do they do?  Stay there until the very last possible second and then shove over making people hit the brakes thus causing a little jam.  I don't know why, but this just irritates me.

Another little thing on I5 before I move on.  Before the above construction, again going North on I5, there is like a bridge, a pretty big one.  I am really bad with measures, but I would guess the bridge is half a mile long.  So, I guess there was some problem with the bridge...falling down?  Perhaps.  So, what do we do?  We put a crappy patch over the broken part.  Not a smooth patch where one could hardly notice, but a big ol' rough patch that indicates, to me anyway, that I need to hurry over it because I could fall through it.

A funny thing happened to me on the way home from Kaiser yesterday.  I pull into the street from the parking lot.  I make a few turns and end up at a light.  I am aware of the car in front of me.  We travel down the road and the driver goes at a good rate so there is no need to pass.  We end up going down the road until we reach the highway.  We both turn onto the highway.  We both work our way over to the fast lane and travel through the construction areas.  We make our way down the highway until my exit.  I exit, and stop at a light and lo and behold, that same car is in front of me again.  I start to panic thinking that they are thinking I am following them!!  So, we turn and go through the next light, SO, at the next light, I turn my signal on too early and get over to the turning lane a bit early so they don't think I am following them and then THEY turn the same way I was!  I think, and I am so not over paranoid about this, but I think they were following me from in front!! 

I don't know how to dance unless it is on my daddy's feet.

Last Wednesday, I am innocently at home working *cough* watching the baseball game *cough*.  I have the Giants game on in the background *cough* I am sitting in front of it *cough* and they start talking about a perfect game.  I turn off my work *cough* really?  I wasn't working people! *cough* and start to really watch.  I get a text from my cousin trying to jinx Matt Cain, but he continues to throw strikes and he continues to get batters out and his team continues to help him on his way.  It's the 5th inning...perfect.  The 6th  inning...perfect.  The 7th inning...perfect.  I start to get a little excited here.  I am thinking I may be watching my very first perfect game.  No runs.  No hits.  No errors.  Perfect.  It's the 8th inning...perfect.  Some great catches and great throws are taking place.  I am starting to think I am watching history here.  The 9th inning...first batter out.  Second batter out.  Third batter hits it to Arias (3rd) who throws to Belt (1st) and makes the third out.  Perfect game!!!  I was so excited for the Giants and for Cain.  I was so excited to be watching the game with the love of my life, my husband, watching history.

Let's see....is there anything else? 

Oh...just a little something else and then I am done.  I have this friend and she has a blog which I follow.  Wellllll...she and her family share a blog -- like they can all go and post family things on the blog like a family blog.  Every member of the family has the address and password and they can post anytime.  So, every time they go the blog, they can read about what other members of the family are doing.  I LOVE this idea!  Love it!  I told my kids about it...they hated it and wont do it.  The NEW kids I will have will love it and do it with me!  Guaranteed!

As Always....Velvet

PS --  Blogspot took away my playlist?  Totally bummed!  I loved that music!  Looking around to see what else I can do, if you all know, let me know!

Some pictures ....

Trent and I took a little trip to way Northern California last fall.  We took Maggie and she got to see the beach and the ocean for the very time.  She met a friend and had a great time.  It was certainly a great trip for my husband and myself as well.  Here are some shots of that trip:















The next  few are on our very first cruise...










































 I have some more from Christmas and a couple of more from the cruise, but I have to figure out how to get them from my phone to the computer and then be able to find them!! 

XOXO
