What, you're tired of seeing those metal dishes every day? Oh, come now. They're pretty. Pretty to look at and lovely to hold. And refreshing, too.

Anyway, if I were to type anything it would just be about starting our vacation with a flat tire, cheap mexican tire fixers, lollygagging around the Ozarks and my incredibly brown skin and blonde hair. Boring, really.

I'll get back to you when school starts and I'm home alone and in tears because my baby boy is going to school all day long. For now, I've got children to hold.
