Boring

I have several half-finished posts waiting to be published. I am looking over them and being confronted with the fact that I am Just.Not.That.Interesting. Really! I know this may come as shock to some of you, but I am pretty sure I'm just plain boring! GASP!

Will y'all love me anyway?

J's New Obsession

We watched Howe and Howe Tech on the Discovery Channel yesterday morning... and J is now planning to be an engineer when he grows up, so he can work in R&D building really cool things. For me personally, I think this is a step up from a few weeks ago, when he wanted to be a sniper when he grew up! :) But what are the short term implications? That none of my recycling is safe... he's scheming all kinds of new inventions to build with it. Current plans include a car with a retractable windshield, a swamp buggy designed for knocking down trees, and a pocket knife with gadgets like a spoon, a fork, a little pan, and cutting board (he's dictating the list to me). I think the first two will have to be small scale prototypes, but hopefully we'll get the pocket knife into production soon! :)

Observations

It's late, and J can't sleep. He's sitting here watching me type. And he has decided that the navigation bars on the side of the screen (what are these really called?) are like pulleys for my computer... I pull them down and they lift the screen up.

He's smart, this one!

Science Kit Giveaway

I wanted to share with y'all that Ordinary Life Magic (Too) is doing a give-away for three science kits (that are being reviewed on the blog, as well). You can check out the giveaway here. These look awesome, and there are lots of other neat ideas on the blog as well. Enjoy your time there, and good luck!

Super Quick Update

Wow... time is flying by! Where has January gone? I still haven't posted about my New Years Resolutions... hee hee! I'm having trouble even keeping up with reading blogs I like, let alone posting on my own. I am still playing along with Jennifer's Homemade 365 challenge. I will try to get to those updates soon. Lots of interesting kitchen science going on :) School has been rolling along too. Maybe I'll get to that post, too. In the meantime, I thought y'all might be tired of staring at the same thing, so here is something new to look at :)
