WANTED: Caption Writer.

have i ever bragged about the time i won the New Yorker cartoon caption contest? only i didn't get recognized *or paid* because someone else hit ENTER first, with the exact same words. do i classify this in my "intellectual triumphs" file, or my "yet to have an original thought" file? still debating.

i'm hosting a caption contest of my own. enter in comments, if you want to play.

How about 5 secrets to a better life:

1. Stop and smell the flowers. Duh.

2. Don't keep secrets; give them away.

3. Show your excitement in such a way that a camera sees it as blurry.

4. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

5. Love somebody.

"intellectual triumphs" file for sure!
i would just like to graciously bow out of this competition. i have no creativity left in me at this point. i am just trying to make it through 8th b-day and baptism and ya know, BABY!! i think Jamie's thoughts are lovely. and so are the pics!
i really like your carpet. all spots on my carpet are driving me bonkers, currently. i need help, i know!

1. Don't sniff too hard. You might get a bee up your nose.

2. You want to tell me a secret? Wait! Are you eating my ear??

3. Look, if I wave my hand my foot moves, too! or Okay mom, I'm humor you. I know you just want to take a picture of yourself in those sexy running pants.

4. And don't let me catch you eating the last chocolate chip cookie again!

5. Do you think he even notices me?

PS I think I need a skirt that looks like little's dress. I think I would totally rock it! Totally cute! Did you make it?
