Visions; Or Somethin'

So I had this vision that I could do many things all at the same time. My vision was powerful. Not only many things at one time, but also with black war paint all over my face (courtesy third-year camp girls and the amazingly accurate slobbery marshmallow that struck me in my black pirate mustache and smeared it all over. [run-on sentence. Don't care.] I still have slightly black eyebrows. I comfort myself knowing there are two beloved fourteen year old girls out there tonight who also still have slightly black eyebrows. The social ramifications are much more serious for them then they are for me).
I had this vision that food was my friend, and I could eat it however and whenever I want, and it would not and will not hurt me. The scale is telling a vicious lie. My pants were merely shrunk by the dryer. Food is friend, not foe.
I would like to create a vision that I have a new memory card in my camera and I could take many, many pictures and place them alllllllll on my blog. That would be fun if that vision became a magical reality. If that vision came true, I would take a picture of the milk carton that Olivia filled clear full of silverware this morning. I don't know why she did it. She just did. Clear full. Of silverware. I cleverly dismantled the milk carton, and it was easier then you might expect. Just a well placed slice with some sharp scissors. Hi-yaw! Really, though, when you think about it -- Olivia is the visionary here. When I see an empty milk carton, I just think 'hey, I need to put that in the recycling bin.' But she sees a work of art! A toy, and a new storage container for the forks. A visionary vanguard, that is what she is.

awesome visions! that is pretty creative of olivia. my friends little boy took her silverware and pushed them through the hole under the burner on the stove. She just kept missing more and more and one day caught him in the act. there were fourteen or so utensils under the burner!

Can you not just re-format your memory card? If you have the pictures all on the computer you shouldn't need a new card? Unless it has been dropped in a milk gallon with silverware...

Thanks for sharing your glorious visions. I have the same one of food. Alas, reality.

I like your vision of food, I pretty much have the same vision! Olivia is so cute! We had fun playing with her today! She needs a little brother!!!! But for now Prt can get her all practiced up! I'm also with you on the memory card thing...they fill up way too fast! I need to take fewer pictures, but how can I? Too many adorable things happen in a day!
