Detail Girl
The Santa Clause at Barnes and Noble had a real beard and was very kind and quiet which I think caught Rose's attention. He also had a "little gray spot in his beard" which is apparently NOT what the Santa at Mauldin house of lights had yesterday.
Thus Rose came to the conclusion that he "must be someone dressed up like him."
Watch out. Kid is a detective.

Naming the poo
Leo's favorite past time is giving names to his 'poopies'.
He always asks first, "Daddy I need to go poo poo!"
"okay!"
"I need you to wipe me!"
I come into the room and he's touching his toes.
"I made a..."
(Ice cream cone, turtle, the great pyramid...) depending on the day
Today he has a diarrhea flu and found a new one...
"Syrup...!"
"and den I'm gonna make a pancake..."

If it is a string
Leo can't keep his hands off it. Especially if it an electric cord. Or a goody string. Attached to a hoody. That I'm wearing.
My entire family is sick as dogs this week yet I'm the only one who DIDN'T get the flu vaccine. Go figure.

Elf
We never buy DVDs anymore since having kids. No time to watch them I guess. This year it struck me to buy elf however because it's kid friendly and it's the kind of DVD you can't get when you want to watch it.
Plus the kids love it! :)

Revilo
I've always had an interesting relationship with my name. As a kid growing up in Albany New York - a place that a a pretty urban feel - my name stuck out like a sore thumb.
Max, Chad, Brad, Mike....
These were cool names. I probably would have been even worse off if I had come of age more centrally in the 80s as coolness was shifting from Charlie Sheen to Leonardo Dicaprio.
But let's face it, when your playing hoops with some kid names shaquan you don't want them shouting "Oliver pass me the rock". Too artsy and too European.
I've had a lot of people say they know or have dogs named Oliver. And have had a lot of folks give me interesting nick names that are usually derivatives of Ollie.
Ollie Ollie ovenfree, Oliver twist, Oscar (the grouch) odubya, odiznobbies, odub, olliebear, odies, Wong, O, Revilo etc.
My name actually means peace and has correlation to the meaning of my Chinese name. And I think it's fitting since thats an important value in my life.
But in the end I'm glad my name isn't brad. I like my name and all of the nick names that go along with it.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Have you ever found yourself in the middle of a marketing scheme to which you feel completely invincible? You feel like superman. That is me at hobby lobby.
There is virtually nothing I would bring myself to buy there. Indeed if I were given a gift card to HL I would give it to a homeless person.
I just wonder who is getting sucked in here and how could I be so different in taste from them?
If the projected heaven of individuals is portrayed by the goods and services people desire most do me and these people go to the same place in the afterlife?
As the kids on the Facebook say...smh....

Publix
Just had a two minute argument with Leo over where we were buying groceries.
His argument?
We were in a STORE, (assumably not Publix.)
When I told him that we were finished and that we were going home he insisted that we go to Publix first.
I had to tell him in Publix that we weren't in Publix for him to stop.

Decorations and Treasures
While rooting through our stuff looking for Christmas stuff we found 15 bananas! Which is worth three times any good story...
Also found this ridiculously cute pic from 2007...
You're welcome...

Trash Mags
One of the things that my mother (of all people) associates with relaxation is reading what she calls "trash mags". It's not unusual to find one of these packed in he beach bag or carry-ons.
This perspective has been integral in informing my paradoxical love hate relationships for soft tabloids. Upon picking up this issue I ruffled my brow sarcastically but a smaller man somewhere in my heart leapt to say
"OOH, Jake and Taylor!!"

An Early Gift
On the first day of Christmas my in-laws gave to me....
(before pic)
A NEW WASHER AND DRYER!!
We got the first set from a colleague at school. For 50 bucks he delivered it in his truck and hauled it up the steps of our first apartment.
It did us well for 3 years and was virtually free. RIP Kitchen Aid. Thanks for washing the kids sheets and putting up with my oversized loads. You did good soldiers.
