I Should've Known

You're A Beagle!
You're a Beagle! You're small, athletic, and

intelligent, but easily distracted.


What kind of dog are you?

I have a beagle... and it turns out, I am a beagle.

Child of Grace



Went sledding with the boys this weekend... had a blast, until I betrayed my birthright as a Tuesday's child. (You know, Monday's child is fair of face, Tuesday's child is full of grace...)

Hit a bump, went flying, rolled end over end and landed on my hand. A couple of x-rays and a splint later, I'm on the mend, but meantime I've endured countless jokes at my expense from DH. Not least of was, "Gee, they must have run out of grace on that Tuesday, eh honey?"

So... what have we learned?

Inflatable sled... $30

Obnoxious co-pay plus x-ray fees... $35

Getting to rib Mommy all weekend about her broken middle finger... Priceless!

Bork Bork!





I have a new favorite website, and it is http://www.rinkworks.com/dialect/ -- you can type in any website, and see it instantly translated to a number of dialects, including:

Swedish Chef (my personal favorite)
Redneck
Elmer Fudd
Cockney
Moron

And more.

To give you a taste, this is how the top of my website would read in Swedish Chef:

She-a rembles a leettle-a, runts a leettle-a, und oozeerveese-a chruneecles deeely leeffe-a in suoothvestern Furgeenia.

And my post from Tuesday looked like this:

Lurd, Help Us. Um gesh dee bork, bork! Help Us Ell.

Call me the world's biggest dork if you want, but I haven't laughed this hard in a week. I've been dialectizing websites for local government, the newspaper and even my husband's first grade class. Too much fun! Bork bork, hurty flurty schnipp schnipp!
