Even if there IS a beer tent afterwards. Actually, ESPECIALLY if there is a beer tent afterwards. And on a possibly related note: if anyone at the beer tent found $80 in cash on the ground, that was mine. I […] Gabby came running into the house the other day. I was on the phone, so she waited, visibly vibrating with excitement. When I got off she said, “MOM!!! MOM!!! Can I have some ice cream from the ice cream truck?!?!!?!” “Not today,” I said, mentally cursing the ice cream truck and the lure of […] We all know that Addie J is prone to dressing herself up in random outfits. But she’s added the extra-special step of walking up to me, striking a pose, cocking her head, and crooning, “Stylish!!!!!” I’ve asked her several times who taught this to her, and she’s being pretty cagey.
