Spare It Up

Excuse me while I act like a total geek for a few minutes. My last two posts have garnered themselves a comment each. I never get comments. Never. Now my family will periodically comment about posts to me in real life, but never on my blog. Well to be truthful Lori from The Second Last House in Greenock has been known to comment from time to time. She also has the distinction of being the only person to have commented on my flickr account. Thanks Lori.

Now my first comment this week came from the world's busiest commenter Annonymous. It was nothing really earth shattering, but I was excited nonetheless. Now my second comment came from the infamous Doug Nagy. Doug happens to be a friend of both Dave and Jeff and that's how I first heard of his comic genius. I read his blog for a couple of reasons. The first being I find him wildly funny. The second because Michael has a serious boy-crush on Doug and I like to keep an eye on the competition. Know what I'm saying ladies? Now Doug's comment on my scrapbooking post surprised me because, and I could be wrong here, but Doug doesn't strike me as having any kind of interest in either scrapbooking or my blog about my pedestrian lifestyle. I mean the guy is blazing a trail on the local comedy club circuit, nothing on this side of the fence could be that exciting. This will be the story I tell all my friends when his first HBO special airs.

Okay, thanks for indulging my geekiness for a moment. I think I have it all out of my system. For now anyway. To go back to the whole scrapbooking thing for a moment. To somewhat satisfy that crafting urge I went to the dollar store and stocked up on art supplies for Abby. I got a bunch of little projects we can work on together. I know things can get a little boring around here for her and it's important for her to have one on one time with Mike and I. To run with that theme. We have a "date" with her to go bowling Sunday afternoon. She's never been bowling before and has no idea what it is, but she's beyond excited about going. Poor little thing wanted Uncle Dave and Aunt Mel to go with us. She doesn't get the whole two hour drive concept yet. Mike and I thought that the "date" should just be her and us, but Abby wanted Auntie Yoli to go too and since it's her day.... well how can you say no. University Lanes in Dundas has a good family deal; $19 for an hour of bowling including shoe rentals and bumper pads for up to 6 people. Can't beat that.

I'm also taking the time to cook and bake with Abby. Tonight for dinner we made biscuits. From scratch even. She helped roll out the dough and cut them out. Both of which she did remarkably well at. After we had used up all the dough she went running off to tell Mike that the "circles" were in the oven. They were damn good circles too.
