Today Amanda and Emma decided to make a cake.
While looking at the different boxes of mix we had, Amanda noticed the bottom of the box said "made out of 100% recycled fibers."

Amanda: "Eww! That's disgusting! I'm not eating that!"

Emma: *wrinkles her nose*

Kayla (me: *laughing* "Umm, girls, the box is made out the recycled fibers. Not the cake.

Amanda and Emma: *glare at me*

Amanda (to me): ...smarty-pants.

winnie the pooh

"Owl," said Pooh, "I have thought of something."
"Astute and Helpful Bear," said Owl.
Pooh looked proud at being called a stout and helpful bear, and said modestly that he just happened to think of it.

"Eeyore," he said solemly, "I, Winnie-the-Pooh, will find your tail for you.""Thank you, Pooh," answered Eeyore. "You're a real friend," said he. "Not Like Some," he said.

And then he gave a long sigh and said, "I wish Pooh were here. It's so much more friendly with two." ~Piglet

Half-way between Pooh's house and Piglet's house was a Thoughtful Spot where they met sometimes when they had decided to go and see each other, and as it was warm and out of the wind they would sit down there for a little and wonder what they would do now that they had seen each other.
The House at Pooh Corner

"When you wake up in the morning, Pooh," said Piglet at last, "what's the first thing you say to yourself?"
"What's for breakfast?" said Pooh. "What do you say, Piglet?"
"I say, I wonder what's goint to happpen exciting to-day?" said Piglet.
Pooh nodded thoughtfully.
"It's the same thing," he said.

"It's a litle Anxious," he said to himself, "to be a Very Small Animal Entirely Surrounded by Water. Christopher Robin could escape by Climbing Trees, and Kanga could escape by Jumping, and Rabbit could escape by Burrowing, and Owl could escape by Flying, and Eeyore could escape by - by Making a Loud Noise Until Rescued, and here am I, surrounded by water and I can't do anything."

the Hundred Acre Wood

If a cow laughed real hard, would milk come out her nose?

How do they get a deer to cross at that yellow road sign?

If it's tourist season, why can't we shoot them?

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will sit in a boat drinking beer all day.

The pen is mightier than the sword -- if the sword is very small and the pen is real sharp.

i'd say the first one pretty much clears everything up : )

A Man's Translations

"IT'S A GUY THING"

Translated:* "There is no rational thought pattern connected with it, and you have no chance at all of making it logical."

"CAN I HELP WITH DINNER?"

Translated:* "Why isn't it already on the table?"

"UH HUH," "SURE, HONEY," OR "YES, DEAR"

Translated:* Absolutely nothing. It's a conditioned response.

"IT WOULD TAKE TOO LONG TO EXPLAIN"

Translated:* "I have no idea how it works."

"TAKE A BREAK, HONEY. YOU'RE WORKING TOO HARD."

Translated:* "I can't hear the game over the vacuum cleaner."

"THAT'S INTERESTING, DEAR."

Translated:* "Are you still talking?"

OH, DON'T FUSS, I JUST CUT MYSELF. IT'S NO BIG DEAL."

Translated:* "I have actually severed a limb but will bleed to death before I admit that I'm hurt."

"HEY, I'VE GOT MY REASONS FOR WHAT I'M DOING."

Translated:* "And I sure hope I think of some pretty soon."

"I CAN'T FIND IT."

Translated:* "It didn't fall into my outstretched hands, so I'm completely clueless."

"WHAT DID I DO THIS TIME?"

Translated:* "What did you catch me at?"

"I'M NOT LOST. I KNOW EXACTLY WHERE WE ARE."

Translated:* "No one will ever see us alive again."

"WE SHARE THE HOUSEWORK."

Translated:* "I make the messes; she cleans them up."

Baldwin customized this fine grand with 125 pounds of Austrian rhinestones for Liberace's Radio City Music Hall appearances.

My family saw this piano in the Smithsonian while they were in Washington D.C.. It was in the White House in 1903.

Spencer Tracy
...One of my favorite actors...

Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn did at least nine movies together.

He also co-starred in Test Pilot, as you can see from the movie poster in the post below.

since we're on the subject...and because i want to....

This is Myrna Loy. She starred in The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer and also Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House with Cary Grant.
(see picture below)

I watched this movie today. It was really good.
