This is Just Weird

Hey guys! First of all, let me tell those of you who didn't see on the post below.... that I have begun another blog, (operating as a link from this) for my writing-things! (i.e. poetry, stories, thoughts on writing, etc.) I figured that I'd make those topics their own little resting place and that way only those of you who wanted to read my scribblings could go over there and follow it, or use my link on the sidebar here. Anyway, it is called The Inkpen Authoress. (Click on the name if you please! :) So we both will still be posting here, but my writing things are at the new blog.
New topic.
What do we kids do to amuse ourselves while riding to and from jobs? Well, today Sarah, (for some reason) started a game where you sing only the first word of a song, and everyone else guesses what song it is. That was random, fun, and even Dad played it. I was singing the word "I" and trying to get them to guess the right song, and all Sarah would do is sing, "have a mule and her name is Sal!" and then we'd crack up laughing, and I warble my little "I" over again. This time Sarah replied, "Love my mule and her name is Sal?" "Raised my mule and her name is Sal?" and generally made herself and us crack up.
We experienced the first of the summer's landscaping trials this afternoon: Some of you may better like to call it "The `go-green' sandwich melt". (Which in plainer language is when you make a meat sandwich at home, bring it in the car, and by lunchtime, the cheese is in an insipid state where it is neither melted nor unmelted, and the meat is neither thoroughly hot nor cold, and your lettuce is steamed, and the mustard sort of sticks to everything else. :( Not tasty)
Sarah and I sat there cracking jokes about our sandwiches and trying to choke them down. Sarah did a "Vitameatavegamin girl" shiver at her first bite. I made a resolute face and mined toward the middle. She pretended she was a termite. I wailed, "Fire in the hole!" and took a big bite which I regretted. We looked at eachother and I tipped my sandwich in a friendly manner saying, "Sarah..stuff, stuff, stodge, stodge!" and we both tried to continue. Finally I gave up. Sarah won hands down by pretending to be Templeton from Charlotte's Web, singing the "Smorgasbord" song the whole time. I just laughed and comforted myself by the recollection that any homeless people rummaging through trashcans would find a nice, melty, neither-here-nor-there sandwich to make up their dinner. *Copies Sarah's shiver!*
Oh! And on the way home we were in the midst of a raving, tearing thunderstorm and so Daniel turned on Lord of The Rings music to match the weather, and we scared ourselves silly! ;)
