Evren’s new favorite show:
In the episode we watched, they tiled a kitchen backsplash and replaced a portion of a woman’s lawn that had gotten a bad case of fungus. He was riveted. When it was over, he demanded to watch it again. I had to cut him off after that. Never in my life have I seen a 3-year old so entranced by the process of grouting.
Ayla got invited to go swimming this afternoon, and needless to say, Evren was upset. On her way out the door, Evren lost it. Crying, screaming, begging, pleasepleaseplease can I go too? kicking, pleading, oh the tears…
Jenn: “Hey, Evren, do you want to go spray some Febreze?”
Evren: (instant happiness) “YES!”
(and as bonus, now it smells really fresh in my house)
This morning on my coffee run, driving back home through the neighborhood, we passed a tree that looked like it had just simply broken in half. Evren’s all over anything that is damaged. In fact, I think, damaged is in his top 10 list of favorite words.
Evren: “Hey, Mom! Why is that tree damaged?”
Jenn: “Hmmm…I’m not sure. I guess it was damaged somehow in those storms we’ve been having. Or, you know, maybe it was struck by lightning!”
Evren: “Yeah, or, maybe Santa’s sled hit it.”
I’m not exactly certain why dumping Miracle Whip and hard-boiled eggs into Mac & Cheese makes it so absolutely wonderful, but it does.
Excellent choice to take to a potluck or backyard barbecue.
Bold statement, I know. I’m sure you already have your favorite. I have no idea whatever possessed me to save this recipe in the first place, but I finally had the opportunity to make it and it was good.
Half-way through, when I was certain I would ruin the potatoes, I was cursing (like I never do) and vowing never to make potato salad again, because, I mean, WHY, why would anyone even bother when you can just go buy some.
But, it was perfect. It was the perfect potato salad. And I would definitely make it again.
Psychology Today has a fascinating article…
Ten Politically Incorrect Truths About Human Nature
Interesting claims like why beautiful people have more daughters, humans are naturally polygamous, sexual harassment isn’t sexist, and blonds are more attractive.
The implications of some of the ideas in this article may seem immoral, contrary to our ideals, or offensive. We state them because they are true, supported by documented scientific evidence. Like it or not, human nature is simply not politically correct.

Alvin and the Chipmunks are apparently coming out with their own movie.
But, uh, this isn’t how I remember them exactly.
(Thanks Tara!)
Here’s me as a Simpsons character.
Look how gorgeous I am.
I gotta get me a T-shirt like that.
Make your own (and send it to me) at The Simpsons Movie Site.
