Live from Tormville!

What. You don't have fivers hanging out your north facing windows?

Obviously we are in different tooth fairy territories then.

And 1.  That is not the going rate for teeth in this house - it just happened that it was two molars from an underpaid tween, and as he says - mom, these teeth have been under my pillow so long they are getting moldy.  So interest and all that.  Altho it's his fault for not remembering that northern window sooner

And 2. Gosh...do I need to learn how to photoshop better or just clean the darn outside panes? 

And 3.  Hey Kevin (look...I put it in bold for easier scanning..cuz I'm nice) we're having goulash for supper - maybe you want to come and tell me all about your weekend I'm thinking? 

be good
And if you saw me here...don't forget...throw chocolate.  Really.  Cuz that would just be so bad.

Speaking of missing teeth

Big Al's got a stash under his pillow. And tonight he gets a letter from the tooth fairy -

So.  Pal.

I heard you’ve been hoarding teeth.

Let me tell ya something – Santa Claus I ain’t.  Santa..he’s got all the special powers; he knows when you’ve been good, he knows when you’re sleeping

Me?

Heh

I ain’t got squat for powers.  Even my flying around comes by way of magic dust.  Without it I’m as ordinary as you.  But smaller.  So here’s the deal.  Ya gotta tell the ‘rents when you lose a tooth.  Got it?  I know what you’re playing at – you think I’m fake.  I AIN’T FAKE! 

But because I don’t have the magical powers that the big guy has…I have to rely on your folks to pass the news.  You tell them, they wire me.  Cash gets paid.  And while I have your attention, let me tell ya something else.  The fresher the better.  Better = better payout.  After a month or so – can you say, “barf!”  seriously.  I’ll pay like normal this time, but next time let’s get it right okay big guy?

And while we’re on the subject of mother’s and all things good – let me share something, fairy to tween.  You see – mother’s – we love them, right?  But they’re funny creatures…ya gotta tell ‘em sometimes.  And honest to goodness, the payoff is worth it.  Trust me on this one buckaroonie.  When you go downstairs today, if you make a comment in regards to your mom’s slim-ness – it’ll be like you just won the golden egg for the day. 

Anyway…gotta fly (get it?  Fly?)

Remember…quicker notification next time.  These bad boys are pretty stale

Peace out-

The Midwest Snaggletooth

is still on the loose in our sector.
And our bedroom (the only room on the north side of the house - heh!) was mighty chilly when the hubby and I finally headed upstairs last night.

This helped immensely in the tooth fairy remembering to come in for a landing and exhange.  It's the quickest exchange in recent history, in fact. And let me just say...trying to take a picture of two teeth hanging from zippies at the end of a stick out our bedroom window at midnight, well...'tis tricky.  In other words...no dice.

Read on....

Dear Allan and Wendy

Two Tormanen teeth in one night!  And I can’t thank you both enough for following the procedure as per my last visit.  I was able to dash in and out in a quick hurry and avoid the Midwest snaggletooth.  As I mentioned before, our runs to your sector have become more precarious with the invasion of the snaggletooth.  We’ve been in fairly steady combat, and I feel that we are regaining control, but as of yet…things are still dangerous and all efforts on your part to help quicken our job duties are much appreciated. 

I’ll ask now, as I know there are a few more teeth set to come out sometime in the next few months, that if there is snow on the ground, perhaps you could tie a red bandanna to the end of the stick.  The white gets tricky to find when flying in a hurry.  Otherwise, the exchange went down without a hitch.

Take care…and remember Wendy, no taffy.  Take care of those teeth

Until next time

Dear Santa and Birthday Fairy

I have fun doing these lists if for no other reason than to have a fun time capsule of what I desired at this stage of my life....

So then, in no particular order....

• New Shoes - These will do nicely.  Size 9.  I was first thinking slip ons would be better, but nah...I'll only be pregnant for one more month by the time Christmas rolls around. 
• I can never resist a new Tom Petty CD.  For that matter...this house needs a new stereo of some sort too....only the cassette player is working on ours.  haha.   But, there's always the one in the van.
• And I need both this one and this one by Josh Turner.  And look at that, there's a special price if you buy them both at the same time!
• And I think I kinda need this as well.  ;)
• Not that good, was I?  Well then...how 'bout this.  I'm easy.
• Something in the middle?  If you insist
• And, after the baby I always enjoy a good read.  These are the ones that I've been eyeballing lately...mostly due to reviews on other blogs.  this one, this one, and this one
• hmmm...just realized that none of those are actually readable books, but more project or inspiration oriented.  I need a good reading book too...I trust your judgement
• for that matter...I also need a new computer.  This one shuts down on me at least once a day - I've no clue what to look for anymore in a computer or which ones to avoid.  I'll trust you on that one too, k?
• And if you want to toss this in with the new computer, I wouldn't complain.  My jaw would drop, but I wouldn't complain
• Back to reality - I'm thinking that this would be put to good use in my scrap nook.
• And these
• And...like every other year, new socks, undies, jammies and gift certificates are always gratefully received. 
• oh oh oh!   And I need a new Dymo tape runner thingie.  Mine is busticated.  argh. 

And I just know I'm forgetting something, I'll be back to edit later.....

The tooth fairy explains

Dearest Allan~

Please accept our humblest apologies for being so extremely tardy in our tooth fairy duties.  You see…it’s like this.  I was on my way to your place of residence when out of the blue this Midwest snaggletooth came at me screeching and wailing.    Evil wicked things they are. Ugly too. We, the tooth fairy association (TFA), have been at war with them for hundreds of years.  Your home had originally been a safe zone, but apparently the snaggletooth have expanded their territory making it very dangerous now for us to fly in your sector.  I had to return to homebase and arrange for extra protection and combat training in order to complete this mission into your war zone.  And please, don’t be frightened, they won’t attack your kind; it’s we fairies they lust after. I knew you would understand our plight.  One way that you could possibly help to avert further delays is to…well. This would probably only work if the weather permits, I doubt your parents would approve midwinter…but to hang your tooth in a sack at the end of a stick hanging out your window.  This would enable us to fly and drop without the obstacles of getting in and out until we get the snaggletooth problem resolved.  Oh…and it’s also best if you hang it in the most northern direction.  But again, please ask your parents first, but hopefully we’ll have this under control before you lose another tooth. 

Again – I apologize~

Sneaky Sneak!

So.  Every once in awhile I pop quiz my kids on teeth brushing.   "Did you brush your teeth?"   "Yep!" comes the quick affirmative.
Let me look.
um

And so it goes.  I haven't done a pop quiz in awhile...so I did one this morning and was met with the usual, "um" 

He opened his mouth just a smidge.  I rolled my eyes and commanded, "wider, Al" 
He opened his mouth wider.

ALLAN!  I bellowed.  You have two teeth missing!! 
"I know"  he answered smugly with a bit of a glint in his eye.

"When did that happen??  Just now??"  Can't stand that I've been that horribly unobservant.  I knew they were loose - had no clue they were gone.

"A couple days ago"
"Wow...does dad know?"  Thinking...dang...we totally blew toothfairy duty...obviously. 
"No...I just told the kids in my class"

"Well.  wow"
"I wanted to see if the tooth fairy would come if you and dad didn't know I lost my teeth" 

aha!  But I'm quick! 
I replied, "Well, of course not...the parents have to alert the tooth fairy with a certified memo to assure that the kid isn't pulling a false alarm.  It's a lot of work for that fairy to be flying all over the place, she has no time for pranks"

And with the glint still in his eye, "Or does the parent have to alert the parent?"

hahahahahahhahaahhaha...the age of figuring things out cracks me up.  I confessed nothing.  But he knows, at least...he thinks he does....
