that happens to me all the time

I was listening to the Radiolab podcast the other day (a fine program that i highly recommend if you like funny people and science). The guest author was talking about a phenomenon he calls "rhyming events," which is more or less what it sounds like: when an event in your life nearly repeats itself. For example, a man hid from the Nazis in a room in Paris. Then, thirty years later his son moved to Paris and, without knowing his father's history there, rented the same room.

Tonight as I was putting babydoll Alice into her jammies, per Ally's instructions, I realized the doll was just the size and shape of the chicken I roasted for dinner (and probably would have tasted better). Rhyming event! Sort of.

Here's something that happens all the time here: morning hair. It usually only looks like this right after I comb it out, but this morning was something special. It's like an orange on a toothpick.

What I always think is that if Errol Flynn and Jerry Lee Lewis had a baby, this is what she would look like:

This would happen every day if I didn't *periodically* supervise the bunny's room.

Another thing that happens to me all the time: I stop by my neighbors' house because Ally wants to, and I accidentally mention something like, I need to go get some lemons, and they give me a big bag of lemons they just picked that day from their tree (which swear I didn't know they had). Marge & Guppy are the neighbors you dream of having and if Ally had her way we'd be there every day.

This post is out of order. So what? Also, I deigned to use capital letters, despite the fact that Ally broke my shift key. Don't get used to it.
