So right now Jamie and I are sitting and watching a show called “The Katie Brown Workshop”, a cooking/craft show, on Create.
You would not believe how excited Jamie gets when this show comes on.
Surprisingly, it’s not necessarily because the show makes stuff she wants to make, or has interesting crafts. Actually, it’s a pretty cheesy show with crafts so simple it’s silly. In fact, that’s the main reason she likes it. It’s kind of ridiculous something like this got its own TV show. The other day they showed how to make a bench for kids by wrapping a board of wood with duct tape and then putting two buckets under it. I’m not kidding.
Earlier today I toasted my sandwich. For those of you who don’t know, I pretty much eat the same thing every day for lunch. And I like it. (Those who are appalled at my ordinariness: sorry. It’s who I am. Ordinary.) But recently – say, the past 2 weeks – I’ve started to toast my sandwich. This, for you readers who aren’t familiar with toasting, makes the sandwich 10 million times better. That’s a scientific estimate. Nothing really beats toasted white bread with salami and turkey, covered in melted cheese, with a pinch of pepper and a splotch of mustard, with a side of Sprite and Fritos. Mmm good.
For those of you worried about Jamie’s question regarding Neopolitan Dynamte ice cream, the mystery is solved. Randalls. They sell it. We will be going there Sunday, to purchase a pint. We’d go earlier but we’ll be out of town. Tempted to get some to bring on the trip. Really tempted.
In other news, Jamie is making a print of a drumset. I love my wife.

Sweet Blog! Yes we will be at Keating’s wedding, we fly in on Friday afternoon. We’re really excited! PS. When I saw the name of your blog I thought you were expecting (‘expecto’), and had created a blog (like many people do) to share baby thoughts and then post ridiculous amounts of pictures. PPS. Toasted sandwiches are amazing. Try putting a little butter on either side of the bread and toasting it in the frying pan.
