Here, There Be Dragons
Conversation with Rollie yesterday:
Rollie: "Mama, if I see a dragon, you will give me a knight, and I will knife the dragon."
Me: "Um, okay, if we see a dragon, I will let you have a knife and slay him. But you realize that we don't play with knives, ever, without Mama's permission?"
Rollie: "But, we do if there is a dragon."
Me: "Well, yeah, obviously. Also? A 'Knight' is the guy who wears the armor, and who holds a sword or a lance, or throws down the gauntlet, okay? 'Knight' just sounds like "knife." And you use a sword to slay the dragon, not a knife."
Rollie: "Right," he says, nodding his head vigorously in the affirmative.
Okay. It's a plan.

Right.
And then I can has a ice cream?
Whew! Good to know you have a plan for those unexpected dragons....
HA! I can totally hear you saying "we don't touch the knife without mommy's permission."
Hey, Dragonslayer? How is your running coming? Aren't you doing the Silver Comet race this weekend?
Silver comet - Nope. Was going to, then todd had to be out of town for work, then I decided i would do the thanksgiving one, and that fell through, because if i want to see my parents, I have to be out of town, and the whole thing was discouraging, and I fell off the wagon and haven't run much at all in two weeks. Turns out I need a set goal to keep me on track. I am trying not to beat myself up for it, but i feel guilty. sigh.
ING in March. That is a good goal (and close to home). Rates go up Oct 31 so you can sign up now and kick that wagon in the ass.
Everyone needs a goal (even professionals - Carole Sharpless has said that in interviews) - nothing wrong with that. : )
