alibi

She needs a better alibi than her brother because he sells her out every time.  Just like me and Facebook.
'What did you do today?'
'Worked on finances.'
'You sure were on Facebook a lot.'
'Ummmm...."

swan

Did you know that the first real exotic bird I saw in Alaska was a swan? Well, two of them anyhow. In a little pond on the way to Denali Park. That was a CRAZY 24 hours landing in Anchorage and then driving north. I was thinking, WHAT HAVE I DONE? 17 years later, I know I did something good.

earring

another earring i find on the floor. this makes 6, i think. i put it back on my desk with the others and wonder, how do they get off the desk? do they jump? do they push each other ala king of the mountain? my 3 year old sticks his head in my room. ‘hi mom’ he says, and now i think i know.
