My lips are getting chapped...

So Sorry!!! This post was supposed to be put up yesterday, but the Blogger website was down for repairs, so I wasn't able to post. In other unfortunate news, Blogger also made me re-register the website, so I lost my Day 1 entry, which was fundamental in setting the scenery. But, perhaps I can figure out how to go back and find it sometime...we'll see.

Day 2:

Things people said:

1. Dialogue between myself and a 4 year old boy riding on his bike:

a. Boy: “Have you seen my baby brother?”

b. Me: “No, is he lost?”

c. Boy: “Yeah, we’re just looking for him, he’s two and a half years old. We’ve looked in the house and around and stuff.”

d. Me: “uh…” (at this point he’s just riding in circles around the cul-de-sac).

e. A man rides by on his bike and I ask him if he knows Boy on Bike. He says yes.

f. Me: “He says his younger brother is lost and that they’re looking for him”.

g. Man on Bike: “yeah, this is a pretty kid-friendly neighborhood, I’m sure he’s around somewhere”.

h. I’m thinking, “Am I the only one who feels like there should be a search party being organized?!” Apparently so.

i. No recent update on the situation to report. I did notice a car pulling in and out of the driveway by Boy on Bike several times, transporting children. I’m thinking they were going to and from the park for soccer practice..?

2. While giving a fellow knocker a ride home he said, “I learned, I’m pretty sure I’m a flirt. I’m a ladies’ man”. No story support followed his claim, so not yet proven, but will keep updated. Good self –discovery though.

And for those of you who know me well, or even just know me, know that my motivation derives from the reward of a treat. Any treat will do really, except for a doughnut, those seem to overload my system with sugar, shockingly. So, today, in honor of… everything, we stopped at Arctic Circle and picked up a Root Beer Float. YUM!! I took a picture of the float, but have yet to discover how to download it on the computer from my phone. Usually this technology issue is something I would ask Husband about, but he’s battling a narrowed airway passage right now due to a cat petting and subsequent eye scratch with those infected fingers. No worries though, shower + allergy pills = cure.

Tomorrow’s day leads me north about an hour and a half car ride. Are the doors any different? No. So…just as exciting as the previous day! More to come!
