Hooray, Hooray!  Maybe you didn&#8217;t even notice it was missing, because I&#8217;m such a good faker, but it&#8217;s been gone for a couple of days.  It hasn&#8217;t been far, just in Ryan&#8217;s office.  But still, out of commission is out of commission.  Before that, it had been limping along for a couple of weeks.  It freaked out and froze whenever I tried to run windows.  Ugh.  So my dear husband, as soon as he had some free time, got it working again.  Yes, he is amazing.<\/p>\n<p>What else is going on? <\/p>\n<p>&#8211;I made salmon tonight.  The kids were not thrilled, but Ryan was.  &#8216;Nuff said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;Friday night we went out on a double date.  Fun!  I had won some ticket to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.colinandbradshow.com\/\">Collin and Brad show<\/a>, and we invited our good friends Tess and David to come with us.  And I must say, a good time was had by all.  We went to dinner at the Garden Restaurant, then walked over to Abravanel hall for the show.  As we were finding our seats, I heard someone call my name.  It was Don and Nancy&#8211;parents of one of my best friends in high school.  I haven&#8217;t seen them in at least 10 years, but it was SO fun to chat with them!  It was kind of a bonus!  The show was fun, I laughed until I cried.  They did funny improv sketches.  One of the most notable was the mousetrap skit, which goes like this.<br \/>\n<object width=\"425\" height=\"344\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/mYW7ljZNhIM&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/mYW7ljZNhIM&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"425\" height=\"344\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p>&#8211;I&#8217;m making chocolate frogs.  Yep.  Harry Potter party coming up this weekend, you know.  I&#8217;ve also made a sorting hat and some wands, and I picked up a bunch of many flavored beans today.  Oh, the preparations!<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;The science project is underway.  More on that later.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;Today I had to tell my children that they are getting up <em>too early<\/em>.  Yes, you heard me.  Too early.  I keep hearing children walking around (and I can see that the hall light, which turns on automatically when someone walks around in the hall or stairs, is on) before 5:00am.  BEFORE.  What the what?  I asked Cole how early he&#8217;s getting up, exactly, and he said around 5:00 or 5:15.  Too early.  I ban you all from getting up any earlier than ONE hour before you leave for school.  It&#8217;s not like they do their hair or anything.
