if we took a holiday...

would you buy a dozen farm-fresh eggs (some jumbo, some large, some medium and some brown, some green, some blue) for $5.75 — with a "you get seventy-five cents back if you return the carton" discount? 

i see the prices of eggs in the supermarket and there are still "cheaper" eggs out there, but they're a) ugly b) not from bougie chickens c) not from chickens that are free range and happy. 

when we were buying eggs, i was spending close to $5 a dozen for brown, cage-free eggs. and there were no blue ones! (yes, i am THAT person that would pay more money for blue or green eggs, even though they're smaller. UGH.)

conversation after dinner:

me, to kid: "we need to get you comfortable with being here alone for a week, so daddy and i can go on vacation next year."

kid: "when would you go?"

me: ".....like....winter."

kid: ........

kid: .............

kid: "and where would you go for a week?"

me: ".......hawaii." 

kid: *slow blink, long glare* "no."

i found out what's been going on with misty's trainer/broker/whatever. the drop off or pick up hasn't been able to happen because she's been on a long cruise to mexico. o.O smart woman, her. 

right now, it looks like delivery will be thursday, which is good because we'll be a balmy 22 degrees! woohoo! warm weather at last! 

ahem.
