Tim Time

Best Parts of my Day:

1: the "barbie barrage" Cowen launched at his dad while they were playing sumo wrestling.

2) the look of sheer terror on Cowen's face as he raced away from the "skeleton man" (Tim) who emerged from the "poisonous mud" making truly horrific faces/noises/body movements--and then Cowen's equally fast return when he realized my lap was back where the skeleton man was. I'm his safe place.

3) kissing Ken. As in Barbie and Ken. Miriam bippity boppity booed Timothy into a barbie so Timothy walked around without bending any limbs, keeping his arms bent, for several minutes. His stint as Ken included dancing with Barbie (Emeline) and going for a spin in his corvette with Barbie (Miriam) and kissing Barbie (me). And you know what--Ken's a pretty good kisser. Not surprising really considering the many hours of practice he's had over the years in millions of homes around the world.

4) going to Kitchen Kneads. That store is nirvana for people who like to cook and/or like chocolate.

5) going to the temple with Timothy. This one. Isn't it beautiful.

Good day.
