Ode to Amanda

Greetings all. Jack and I had a fun morning...we got to meet a bunch of other little babes at the mall for a small playgroup! I think he played hard as he came home and crashed for a few hours. I would have loved to crash as well b/c I couldn't fall asleep until 2:30 this morning (headache...allergies? sinuses? barometric pressure and wacky MI weather? Probably.) But I resorted to touching up the trim paint in the bathroom. Something I intended to do 5 months ago. Oops. But it's done now. Other than that, a pretty darn uneventful day. For which I am thankful.

I was chatting with my friend, Amanda, tonight. She knows of my blog streak and I was asking what I should blog about...since our day was fairly uneventful as mentioned above. It was really a rhetorical question but she replied with "how wonderful I am...what an honor it is to know me." So, here goes, good friend:


My Ode to Amanda...

First of all my dear friend you're way cool,
I wonder what you were like in elementary school?
We started with the knot and then moved to the nest
Now to the baby board...yet to come is the best!
I love that you always comment on my blog,
And Elsie...she's your pretty cool white and gray dog.
And so beautiful is your little girl, Addie
I really do think she looks just like her daddy.
I know I always kid you for this and for that
But please don't think I'm just trying to be a brat.
I've never met such a ridiculously picky eater
Or someone who doesn't like to park at a parking meter
Actually, I don't know if the last one is true,
But I couldn't come up with a word that rhymed there too.
So Amanda, without you my life would be boring
Thank you for being so kind and adoring.
The end.
