SNAFU

The SNAFU of the day was Mommy leaving early for an all day meeting with the only set of keys to the red car. The car that has the car seat in it. The car that Daddy was to load up all of his photo gear into for a photo shoot. The car that would cut like a knife through the brutally dismal fall weather of this morning.

But alas. Today instead was the day that Daddy and I had to walk 23 miles uphill through the snow to school before he could hop a stinky, breath-steamed public bus all the depressing way to work. OK, so maybe it wasn't exactly snow. But we were both soaked to the bone due to the relentless torrent of precip.

Don't get me wrong... We did have some highlights today. I'd say the first and most important being that I wore P A N T I E S from bedtime last night aaaaaall the way through to returning home from school this evening. No small feat for a burgeoning wearer of panties. Things weren't without a subscript of drama... The stain stick saw heavy duty to try and erase more skids than the Brickyard 400. Baby steps folks.

The other highlight was feasting on waffle fries and beers at the Barking Dog in the fine company of Mr. Don Light, blog-famous father of Henry Light, Audrey Light and hubz extraordinaire to the radiant mommy Amy Light. Don played it cool with his chips and salsa, but we rocked his shiz with a greasy order of the good stuff. It was great to catch up with Daddy Don and get down to business in one of my favorite haunts. Daddy even got me to use the can there for a post-12 ounce rootboor tinkle before the journey home.
