rainette: Hello, LJ.
rainette's LJ: Hi! What have you been up to?
rainette: I've been making single-legged frogs and pretending that Celine Dion doesn't exist.
rainette's LJ: ...

How does one make single-legged frogs, you ask? Well, that is achieved by using a pretty but intricate frog-shaped cookie-cutter to make petits fours au beurre. Aha! I knew there was a reason why I always used very small, simple and plain cookie cutters when I make petits fours au beurre! Not that it matters much, they're still yummy as can be (yes they are :D. Well, wait til you try them ;) ) and my own little froglets will have great pleasure exercising their canibalistic tendencies on all frog legs that accidentally fell off.

They've never even had REAL frog legs, btw. (Neither have I. Sorry. I know people who have, though :D)

Ah well, I used to make headless teddybears (because I also have a teddybear-shaped cookie cutter). The legless frogs are comparatively a lot less disturbing.

As for Celine Dion. Oh, Celine...

So Froglet has an electric keyboard that she doesn't really know how to use, and while she was playing with it she accidentally found My Heart Will Go On. *headdesks*

So I told her about the song. And then she asked about Celine Dion, and so I looked for the video on youtube. And we watched the video, and I told her a bit about it, and since we'd been to the Titanic Artifacts exhibit at the Science Center, she asked to see the movie. So I rented the movie (yes, I know: entirely my fault) because we all had appointments with the optometrist, and my pupils dilate so well that I can't read for hours after the exam. So I thought, what the hell? LET'S WATCH TITANIC WITH THE GIRLS.

Worst.

Mistake.

Ever.

Tadpole: Is this the boat that sinks?
rainette: No, Tadpole. That's the research boat.
Tadpole: Is THIS the boat that sinks?
rainette: No, Tapole. Not yet.
Tadpole: IT'S SINKING!
rainette: Tadpole. It's a submarine. It's not sinking, it's going under water.
Tadpole: ...
rainette: ...
Tadpole: Is THAT the boat that sinks?
rainette: Yup. That's the one!
Tadpole: does it sink now?
rainette: No, not right now.
Tadpole: How long before it sinks?
rainette *very small voice* about two hours, I think?
Tadpole *cheerfully* Okay.
rainette: ...
Tadpole: ...
Tadpole: how long before it sinks now?
rainette *facepalms*

Repeat the above approximately 137 times.

Two hours later:

rainette: OKAY. HERE WE GO, NOW THE BOAT IS GOING TO SINK! WATCH, TADPOLE!
Tadpole: This is scary. I am going upstairs, call me when it's finished.
rainette: o_O

And then there was Celine. And Celine. And Celine again. And Celine some more.

And then the girls went to daycare.

Froglet: GUESS WHAT?
rainette: what?
Froglet *excitedly* they asked me if I knew how to sing My Heart Will Go On, and I got to sing IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE DAYCARE!!!
rainette: ...

We'll never hear the end of Celine Dion.

at first, i misread and thought that YOU had to sing the song in front of the whole daycare. big *phew* when i reread with the appropriate cues.

long time no post, good to read things are well.

[la-rainette.livejournal.com]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA no. *grins and hugs*

[la-rainette.livejournal.com]

You haven't posted for a long time, either, btw. I hope that you are well? :)

[nebzero.livejournal.com]

Yes, all is well. I log in every day, yet don't find much to talk about. Perhaps this evening.

[travels-in-time.livejournal.com]

I really, really, really want to squish Tadpole. (And introduce her to my five-year-old. Although possibly they might team up and take over the world at that point, so maybe that's not such a hot idea.)

[la-rainette.livejournal.com]

HEY! LJ ate my reply!

Where I was, I believe, sending you a great big hug and saying that ahahahahahaha, that would be fun but SO DANGEROUS! :D

To make hearts: & hearts ; --> remove spaces --> ♥

[la-rainette.livejournal.com]

Ah, thank you. ♥ :D

I, uh, I know that I have been told before, I just, I FORGET from one time to the other. Might be early onset Alzheimers for all I know ;)

HI *squish*

that is hilarious. my apartment has watched that movie SO many times this year and I still refuse to see it. :)) but oh, how I know the song....

[la-rainette.livejournal.com]

Your APARTMENT? You show movies to your WALLS? :D

Oh, it's not a bad movie, in fact it's a fun ride. ;) It's fashionable to say it's crap, and yeah, I say it's crap, too... But guilty pleasure kind of crap, you know? :D

and also, HI! *SQUISHES BACK*

[notions.livejournal.com]

THE OTHER PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN IT, you know.

I'm glad you enjoy it :) I'm boycotting on principle at this point. plus this girl I like is doing the same so I have reinforcements, and am not totally alone in my protest. :D

:D :D

[la-rainette.livejournal.com]

*falls over laughing* Duh.

Well, to be honest -- it's a lot funnier with kiddie-comments to go with it :D

(girl you like? :D Happy for you! ♥)

[notions.livejournal.com]

(dsafd yeah :) she is pretty great :) and might like me back :) we'll see how things go)

(man i've missed you a bit)

[la-rainette.livejournal.com]

*hugs* It's been difficult. Still is sometimes. I am not done yet, these things take time.

I've missed you too.

(And yay seeing how things go! :D)

[notions.livejournal.com]

Of course. Still thinking of you. ♥
