As of late. . .

1)  Chandler was at the Blue and Gold Banquet serving as a Den Chief a few weeks back.  After it ended, he was being chased by a cub scout.  Because he was being tackled, he was on the move with his head down; the chase ended pretty quickly when the top of his head collided with a door knob.  We were summoned to the church and Tom took him into InstaCare--seven staples to close that thing up.  All of the medical personnel were amazed at such a feat.  I'll spare you the picture.

2)  Our credit card was stolen.  Thanks to impressive fraud software it was caught after only an $80-something purchase at a Smith's in Las Vegas.  But, sheesh, what a pain. 

3)  Greta was complaining about a sore tooth so I took her in to get it fixed.  As the dentist was telling me that he was basically doing a child root canal (really?) and I started seeing blood ooze from the tooth I became very light headed.  I turned my head in hopes of distracting myself and clicked out a text message to Tom about what was happening.  I hit send and put my phone back in my pocket.  The next thing I knew I heard someone say, 'Check her head, she bumped it pretty good.'  I opened my eyes and the dentist from the other room was pulling my hair back checking my head.  I also bit my tongue and landed myself underneath the dentist chair Greta was in.  I was told I made a very loud thud and everyone in the office arrived on the scene and were staring me in the face when I came to.  I'm not sure how long I was out, but it was long enough to draw quite a crowd!  I was carried to the next room and given my own pink nose with oxygen and a cold cloth on my head.  I sat and laughed at myself knowing what a kick out of it Tom would get out of it. (I was right!)  However, I believe I traumatized little Greta.  She didn't have her glasses on because they didn't fit with the gas apparatus and all she knew was there was a lot of commotion about her mom, who she could not see;  poor thing! I feel bad about that, but every time since when I've thought of myself lying on the floor, I've laughed out loud!  I just find it so funny!  I also think it was a very good idea that Tom took Chandler to get his head stapled up and not me.  

4) I bought a quilt way back in 2007 from the benefit blog for my sister, Katie.  It was made by Shauna Dickerson, a friend of one of my other sisters from when she lived in New Jersey.  Cache sent a package the other day which contained a recipe book he'd picked up from one of his apartments.  It was a recipe book compiled by the Young Women of the Scotch Plains stake.  In it were a couple of recipes submitted by Shauna Dickerson.  How interesting.

5) Earlier in the week, I had planned to make apple pies on Thursday--one for my friend and one for my family.  When I went to the store to buy a disposable pie tin, I learned that it was 3-14: Pi day.  Coincidentally, when I looked at my menu, what did I have scheduled?  Chicken Pot Pie.  So we accidentally celebrated Pi Day unusually well!
