The weekend, succinctly

'Tis the season for holiday soirees... The Fella's department party at the Affinia Hotel downtown and a holiday dinner in the 'burbs thrown by his boss from the research lab. The best part of the whole weekend was the boss's precocious 8 year old daughter who pretty much summed up my life in one on-point exclamation. I was saying something to the hubby, who, as usual, wasn't paying attention. The girl picks up on this. She pokes him in the arm, and says, "Hey!! She's TRYING to talk to you!" Welcome to my life, sassy little ma'm! (And can I please take you home with me?)
