to know, know, know her, is to love, love , love her

mei-mei's favourite playground is my bed. her favourite toy is the wand toy with the long fleece strip on it. when we are having a play session the messy mounds of sheets and blankets in my unmade bed are her hunting topography. she might hunker down behind a lump as she stalks her prey and then she might leap out and over and around, back and forth, spinning and pouncing like the wild huntress she is. sometimes she may lay on her back with her murder mittens slicing the air. that's how i discovered her belly is almost all white. there is just one place in the middle where the grey meets. i note this observation while delivering a frothing, pestering frenzied prey for her to conquer. then i abruptly leave the room and go wash the dishes or something. it's good to keep her guessing.

today i was a little off kilter. i forgot that i had no vehicle to go to work. and didn't realize this until it was the exact moment i should be catching the bus and too late to walk (already went for a walk). mom let me borrow her car since she was off to the temple for the day with the deyells. when i got to work i realized i didn't have my work keys. left them in bethany's car.  then when i left work i got in the clubhouse van and half-way home i realized that i left mom's car at work! mohammad said "i expect you will do that"

he does tell me "laura don't forget anything!" every morning when i'm leaving the house.  so. he knows.

mom and i have been playing a lot of boggle. today she got her highest score ever. 57.  pretty impressive.
