everything is compostable

By golly I love this Christmas song.  I found it on an old mix cd that a friend made years and years ago.  He's asked each of his friends for one song, collected the titles, and put a cd of 15 tunes together, then gave it as his gift.  Every time I stumble upon it I can picture each friend's face by the song they selected. 
It is such a very random collection of music, like a book that has 15 chapters by 15 different authors.  And somehow, it seems perfectly orchestrated. 


I found myself singing it to my brother the other night and he was like, Enough already.
And I was like, no, never enough already.  I have to keep singing it til the next song comes in my head. 
So it goes, and so the story's told.  

Lots of apps

My 7 year old made a Christmas list.
The first requested item was:
lots of apps

I was like, "What is this?"

She said, "I don't know.  I think it's a computer game.  It was one of my spelling words this week."

I looked at her spelling words, and the first one was, indeed, apps. 
She wants a lot of them but isn't sure what they are.

This list is a little crazier than hers, but it has all the products non-home-schooled 7 year olds know about.  Along with hysterical commentary from the receiving parent.

Thanks, Julie, for sending this along.
