2/22
I was running so hard I can hear my heart beep.
2/18/08
A horrible grinding sound was coming from the front of my car so I took it to the shop.
Wendy and the kids picked me up. Lucas asked why I was leaving my car behind.
"Mr. Mulley needs to fix the tire so it won't fall off," I said.
What happens if it fall off," Lucas asked.
"I won't be able to drive anywhere."
"If you can't drive your car daddy, you might get hit by a meteor."
2/15/08
Lucas: "Ow! My nose hurts daddy."
Me: "Why?"
Lucas: "I put my finger up past the hurting place."

Tips for Being Wedding Guest - Cash Can Be Personal
CASH CAN BE PERSONAL:
(Credit goes to Frank Dargavage for this.)
Are you a check writer for wedding events? Here is a quick tip for making that gift more personal. If you plan to give your friends a check for $100, dig a little deeper.
If the event is planned for June 15th, write the check for $106.15.
When the happy couple is filling out the deposit slip, they will ponder the amount you have given them. Then it will dawn on them that you were extra thoughtful ... ask them later who gave them what (place settings, cutlery, cash) and the couple will barely have a clue. But they will remember your check.
RESPONSE:
Respond quickly to invites. I wish I had known this earlier. Until I finally had my own wedding, I had no idea how annoying it is to get late responses. It makes the wedding planning much easier on the happy couple. So let them know if you will or will not be there as quickly as you can.
Also, if it is NO, don't feel like you will ruin their day. I am sorry to say the happy couple will barely notice your absence.
Free time to speak with each guest equates to about twenty seconds per person at a 100-guest event. Decline the invitation quickly and plan to spend some one-on-one/two time with them before/after their big day.
