What a world, what a world...

first of all...driving my husband to work this morning. as usual, there's a fire somewhere, because it's indianapolis and shit burns down every day, and three fire engines screech by, sirens blaring. my son - who learned this catchy phrase from his father, as i never get that worked up over anything - says "fucking cars. god damn." i laughed very hard. i think it's funny/cute as hell. i'm sure it will become an issue very quickly the first time he tells the person at the check-out lane at super wal-mart to fuck off. we'll see. (note : i may swear a lot here, but not so much in real life. honest.)
second...jehovah's witnesses paid me a visit this morning. i can never tell these people to go away. i am too much the nice wuss to do it, so i just stand there thinking it as i nod politely and take their watchtower magazines. (note : teach brodie to tell them to fuck off. this should send them scurrying away abruptly.) they said they'd come back in a few days. now comes the tricky part - when they do come back, do i A) pretend i'm not home, which will likely fail as brodie always yells loudly when anyone knocks at the door) or B) tell them i was raised lutheran and that their way of worshipping, while i respect their freedom to do so as they choose, is an abomination to me? vote for me. or if you have a better idea, let me hear that too.
third...wil wheaton's blog which is daily reading for me, has gotten me and everybody else all depressed. wanna know why? go read.

I am older than I once was
and younger than I'll be
that's not unusual
No, it isn't strange
after changes upon changes
we are more or less the same
