Nerves

Totally forgot to shoot yesterday! Oh well, sometimes that happens. We went to see the new Harry Potter movie and I explained to J and M that my fear of the milfoil is similar to the scene where dead seaweed creatures come alive and drag Harry to the bottom of a lake of death.

My nerves have been going off the charts as the race approaches.

M came up with a potentially brilliant stroke - she figured out a way to "re-brand" my fear of the milfoil (seaweed) as having a Fergus-like personality and voice (there are always voices to go along). Now the milfoil says, "I'm milfoil, I'm gonna get you and snuggle you and love you." in Fergus' voice. You probably have to be here to see it and understand but I do a pretty darn cute impression of milfoil.


Tonight is the night before the big race...I asked J to make me a bread so I know I'd have some good stuff in my tummy tonight and some slices waiting for me when I get up at 4:45 AM tomorrow. Here he is scoring the dough before it goes into the oven. He made a beautiful bread.
