First off, appologies to my dear friend Kate Tucker, for not knowing
her maiden name. Major it is, not Carpenter. Carpenter,
incidentally, is my friend Ann’s maiden name. However, I didn’t
know either of them as maidens, so I hope I can be forgiven.
Secondly, get off my husbands back, yo. If he wants to journal
about cubing and bowling, well then, let him post on with his bad
self. It is, after all, his very own blog universe. I’m
sure you’d all be much more impressed if you had actually seen with
your own eyes the solving of a rubicks cube in less than 35 seconds.
Thirdly, Lilly of the Valley. Not Lilly Pads, not Water Lillies,
not Calla Lillies, not Tiger Lillies. Lilly of the Valley.
They’re the best.
Onward and Upward…
So I had some high hopes for this weekend. Saturday, we were to
go with the aforementioned Kate to an “Italian Festival” in
Independence, Louisiana. Given the name, we thought, upon arrival
we would find, well, Italian things. It turns out that what they
meant by “Italian Festival” is “Old musty church with pictures of
Italian Immigrants, and Carnival type thing with booths selling
candles, cyprus furniture and pampered chef. Now, don’t get me
wrong, I love me some candles, cyprus and chefs. But seriously,
you can’t just have a plain old fair, and then call it Italian because
you’re selling Lasagna. Come on.
But, Maya is still the cutest ever. So, all is well with the world.

I would like the record to show that I quickly sprang (is that a word, if not, it is now and 2 points for me) to your husband’s defense. And come on, there’s gotta be a soft spot for lily pads. Maya is definitely the cutest female baby ever (to this point of course).

Man, I expected (hoped for, even) some backlash from Tim (although there still could be some, I haven’t checked his site yet), but not from the wife! And don’t worry, I am impressed by the cube. I told him I’m hiring him to perform at parties and whatnot.
So moving on…sorry you were disappointed about the Italian festival. Say hello to Kate for me next time you see her! Did I tell you I joined and Italian language meetup group (ala meetup.com)? It’s kind of scary, seeing as how I don’t really speak Italian (yet), but feels great to be taking active steps toward a goal.
