sex, PowerPoint, Batman, water

Last night I started to have a sexy dream and then it gradually started to get mixed up with a work dream and at one point I was trying to have sex inside of a PowerPoint presentation and then somehow one of our project managers was there and I basically woke myself up mentally screaming NOOOOOOO.

The other day the Junebug, talented little staller that he has become, ran over to my room when he was supposed to be getting dressed in his room instead and asked, "How does Batman say the alphabet?"

Me: [Is this a joke? Is this a real question that I somehow have to come up with a answer to?]

Me: I don't know. How does Batman say the alphabet?

Junebug: [wrinkling up a ferocious little nose] [stomping his feet so hard that his naked little butt jiggles] [DOING A SURPRISINGLY CREDITABLE CHRISTIAN BALE IMPRESSION] "A!" "B!" "C!" "D!"

It was a real joke! It was funny! He is 4!

Rocket is in like the stage of maximum adorableness. He understands more every day, but he's still all round and squishy. He's more capable every day, but he still wants to please and to be helpful. IT'S THE BEST.

You know when you run the shower before you get in to get hot water? A friend of mine started catching that water in a bucket & putting it on her tree outside. I liked that idea, but I have developed precognition since becoming a parent, and I could clearly see the future down the timeline where we decided to have an open bucket of water in a bathroom with two little house monkeys running around. So we didn't do it. But then one day I was throwing out an empty gallon plastic jug; and I had a brainwave! So now we catch the water in jugs, with lids, and I put it on my plants. I don't pretend that a gallon or so a day will make a difference to the drought; but, it makes a difference to my plants.

Goodness me: two lovely children and water conservation. All true, and yet somehow too glowing a story. Well, the PowerPoint sex dream adds that special tang.

I'd love to see a cartooned version of the PPT dream, using PPT, of course. has anyone made a PPT of this?

I also want to see the Powerpoint inception sexy work dream.

Awesome joke, adorable kids.

(Chad does the Christian Bale voice too for Batman and the Pip says it sounds like a burp.)

Back in the '87-'92 drought, I would catch the shower water in a bucket and use it as dishwashing water. My mom came to visit from Michigan and thought this was tantamount to my living in an undeveloped country.

Someone needs to teach Junebug the SCA Birthday Song next.
