My husband’s Mt. Hood is a motorcycle, which I will not permit until the kids have graduated from college. I will not have him killing himself when there’s a mortgage and college expenses, thank you very much. He’ll be over 70 when that happens.

Heh. “fistfuls of fertilizer”? I have it on good authority that I once got away from my parents and ate several handfuls of Weed ‘N Feed before they found me. Cue giant bottle of Ipecac and my father spinning me around in the backyard till *he* puked. (this was what the poison control hotline recommended. Awesome.)
This may explain the fact that when my husband and I moved, my little pink rocket gotten hidden in a inconspicuous bag with other accouterments — which got forgotten till found and unpacked by my mother-in-law.

I’ve recently started reading your old posts – I’m halfway through 2003 now and am really enjoying them. It’s like a book and I eagerly want to know what happens to the character. You are utterly charming. Of course I know you have two small boys, but it seems like there is still the suspense, because you weren’t ready for children yet in 2003. I wish I had started reading you ages ago, rather than just in the last year. Your blog is one of my absolute favorites.

Only crazies climb Mt Hood – or any other snow/ice covered steep-ass mountain.

Love the pink rocket story. I needed a laugh today, and this post hit the spot.

You’d think they would be happy and well behaved from missing you so much, but sadly kids don’t play by our rules do they? Sometimes kids can #suckit.

Laughing my ass off at the pink rocket comments. Beautiful pics from JB’s trip! I wouldn’t climb it either. Getting dizzy just looking at the pic.
