In A Nutshell - February 28

My sister's birthday was this month. February 23. It doesn't really matter what year she was born in.

We both act like children. Therefore, chronology is irrelevant. 

The pope quit. It might have been my fault. 

I can't go into it too much right now. 

Suffice it to say, I have read The Divinci Code, but the rest of Dan's books...meh. I got busy with other stuff. But I was at the Vatican 2 years ago. During Pope Benedict's reign. I video'd the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. You know. Michelangelo's David? They said not to take pictures. They didn't say not to video it. So I have it on film...errr...SanDisk.

I invented a new Catholic souvenir. I call it...The Pope On A Rope. You do the imagery. I suck at photoshop.

I accidentally sent a BBQ pork sandwich with Thing 1 for lunch. On a Friday. During Lent. Not cool even IF you're not Catholic.

St. Anthony is my new BFF. He's the Patron Saint of lost things. I <3 him so hard.

One of the new planets next to Pluto, which has been downgraded to a satellite LONG ago might be named Vulcan. This rocks, especially since I have a thing for William. 

Thing 1 told Thing 2 that the world was flat. She said that if we drove too far past the road to our house, we'd fall off of the earth. I snorted. Then I sternly reprimanded that little smart ass, while silently celebrating her comic genius.

I modeled the WORST possible behavior as a driver. I am NOT the road rage type. However, I was demonstrating how people who approach a 4-way stop will speed up in order to stop first. So they can then, go first. I modeled how NOT to do this. In the process of causing whiplash in both of my childrens' necks by slamming on the brakes (TGFALB - Thank God For Anti-Lock Brakes), the car to my left apparently did not know who he/she was fooling with and went for it first. I was CLEARLY stopped before his/her car was. I squealed the tires (on snow) and rode his/her bumper like a bronco for 3 miles...at a safe distance...while explaining to Thing 1 and 2 that I just demonstrated how NOT to enter into an altercation while driving.

It's been a pretty good week. In a nutshell. (insert ironic, maniacal cackling here)...

Hope your week was crazy, good too!
