The Smart version of.....

Oobie:


Cambron and Christopher
present:
Oobie and Kako
(with fully conjugated verbs! *giggle*)



"Oobie & Kako - Laughing Hysterically"






"Oobie and Kako - Composed and ready for close ups, Mr. DeMille."


Side note:While I was looking for the official link for this 'interesting' show, I found this Dad's take on the show and laughed - so I thought I would share. (Be sure to read the comments he got...*laughing*)

1 Week Post-Op Update

[vent]
We had an appointment today to check healing and discuss options. *frown* That hospital is SO DISORGANIZED and....GGGGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! I am convinced the CT was LOST not sent back to Dallas as they insist. Anyone looking around in the clinic we visit would agree. There are large stacks of records precariously piled hither and yon behind the desk where the "administrators" sit. The paper chaos that will result if one, just one, pile falls over is too scarey to dwell on. The women working back there did little to quell their image of incompetency. (They even had us on the wrong schedule.) Exasperating! Get it together already. *frown*
[/vent]

At least the doctors have been impressive. Anyway - about the follow up. Things are healing nicely. There will remain in his ear a bit of packing for the next five weeks. Then we have another follow up to further discuss the bone anchored hearing aide (Baha) and the procedures involved. One happy note - if we go the Baha route his hearing could be better than before with the regular behind the ear aide.

Now, I'm headed outside to swing and be read to. *smile* (That makes for three more good things...in stair-step blond hair.) Thank you, God.

Time for Garden Dreaming....

I've already been bit by the garden catalogue bug. I'm surfing for new ones. (I think it might have something to do with those empty flower pots on my front porch. *frown*) While I like shopping online, I have a thing for print gardening catalogues. So far, here are my new resources:

http://www.santarosagardens.com/
(don't know if they have a print catalogue)

http://www.tanagersongfarm.com/heirloom_seeds.html
(online only - but has SO much cool stuff! *grin*)

http://www.selectseeds.com (print catalogue available)

Does anyone have a couple links or a fav. they want to share?

Not to JINX this, but....

Cosette is doing absurdly well potty 'training'. *giddylaughter*
Three - maybe four - days ago she woke up and declared (not kidding - she DECLARED):
"I'm potty training!!"
Then she went to the bathroom and pottied.
*giddy-shivers*
That day she had several accidents. The next day only a couple. She has even taken to use the potty for (whispering) "#2". I'm not reminding her. (Well, I do right before she goes to bed and right when she wakes up. Does that count? I'm saying no. *laugh*) She lets me know when she needs to go so I'll go with her!

*awed silence/crickets chirping*

And just so you can appreciate the cuteness involved with a small child learning to use the toilet on her own, I'll share with you what she calls her little seat that sets over the large gaping hole that adults use:

her 'potty-train'.

*giggle*
Just how cute is that?!

Ok. That's about the extent of the toilet humour I'll share this hour. *wink* I do not plan to discuss this further - I'm afraid I've become supersticious over nite...so...shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Don't JINX us.
*laugh*
