Drop the damn shoe already

The Husband has been given two more weeks to 'shape up', apparently. Which is good, but on the other hand, it's two more weeks of not knowing what is going to happen.

I'm not sure how to look at this. I do think if they really planned on getting rid of him, they'd just do it already, but I don't get why they keep stringing him along. I can't figure out their MO.

In other news, did I mention I'm going to the New York Renissance fair next Saturday? My friend from the Shakespeare Company invited me. I'm really looking forward. We're dressing up and everything.

Am possibly going to my parent's house 'down the shore' today, so I'd better go get my day started.

Have a nice weekend everyone.

My musical genius

I love it when Charlie impresses people.

Today and tomorrow there is a craft fair in Collingswood, and we went wandering through it. One of the booths sold walking sticks and flutes made from bamboo, and walking sticks that are also flutes - it is very cool.

Charlie, being Charlie, wanted to try a flute, so the nice man showed him where to put his lips and Charlie, after a few false starts, got a note from it.

"What note was that?" The Husband asked, showing off Charlie's skills.

"G Sharp," Charlie replied.

The man at the booth's jaw dropped. "He's right. That's a G sharp flute. How did he do that?" he was truly amazed. He said to Charlie, "I'm going to call you 'G Sharp'".

We went back a bit later, when the other person, a woman who actually teaches flute, was there, and she also showed Charlie what to do, and was also impressed with Charlie's talent.

Charlie was just happy because he was getting some sound out of the thing. Later The Husband tried it, and when he succeeded, Charlie shouted, "Now you're cooking!" to the general amusement of all the people in earshot.

So now Charlie owns a $15 flute made from bamboo because I couldn't resist.

And, as you can see, we didn't go to the grandparents. Mom forgot she had stuff to do.
