Today I went to Savon Drugs to buy some paper towels and guess what I found! An Art Garfunkle bobble head! I don’t know about you, but I just LOVE Simon and Garfunkle. My favorite song is The Boxer. Sometimes when the Son of God is acting up because he hasn’t had his nap or he’s teething, I just put that song on and it calms him down real fast. In fact, I may even put the bobble head in the Messiah’s room, right next to the Go Diego Go! nightlight so he can see it when he’s falling asleep.
He’s so cute when he’s falling asleep in his swaddling clothes, all cozy and tight in his manger. I know I should buy him a big boy bed, but it’s hard seeing him grow up so fast! Hopefully sometime before he’s tempted by Satan I’ll get around to it!
It has been so darn busy around here. The three Wise Men stopped by for another visit (this was their third since the little guy was born). I’m not sure how to tell them, but the Blessed Savior does NOT like the Myrrh ONE BIT! It’s awfully stinky, and we don’t know what we’re supposed to do with it! The black dude just keeps bringing MORE and MORE of it each time he stops by. Maybe I’ll save it for when Joseph kicks the bucket and we’ll embalm him in it.
I’m trying to lose the last five pounds of baby weight so I signed up for a new class at my gym. The class is Hip Hop Abs, and it’s forty five minutes of cardio, fifteen of ab work, and a ten minute cool down. Sometimes I’m so tired I don’t feel like going, but I’m always glad I did once I’m there. My goal is to fit into the bikini I wore the summer before I was visited by the Angel Gabriel. Wish me luck!!!
His Lord and Savior just woke up from his nap, so I gotta go! It’s so funny, sometimes if I don’t get to his manger as soon as he’s awake, he just floods it then walks right on top of the water and hops out!

I’m not sure if you’re making a funny, but it’s Garfunkel.
I prefer Simon by himself. Garfunkel just rode on coattails.

Big Jake:
NO! I didn’t know he (Arty Party) spelled it that way. Incidentally, Art and I have the same birthday (Nov 5).
It would be interesting to see a VH1 Behind the Music on the duo. Who knows what Art did besides sing falsetto. What is he doing now? Do you know?

Re: Art. He goes to parties atop rooftops in NYC with NYU grads and dot-com burnouts.

Mae:
Seriously? Did you meet him when you lived there?

I haven’t been to church in awhile either.

I guess Shaken Baby Syndrome isn’t even a real option with the little guy. You know he’ll just come back after.

Extra special super duper props for acknowledging that myrrh is used for embalming. I remember one Christmas when I worked at Starbucks, they had cutesy sayings on all the cup sleeves (”Just what ARE Reindeer Games anyway?”, etc.) and one of them was asking what myrrh was. I didn’t feel like being Debbie Downer during the holiday season but… oh who am I kidding? I talked about it being for funerals at EVERY opportunity!!
Good luck with Hip Hop Aerobics, Mary - feel the burn!!

My grouchy golfer friend saw him at a random party once. He tells the story better though

I wonder why the black dude king keeps coming by with all that myrrh, anyway… you think he might be trying to hit on you? Maybe he was scoping you out back when you could fit into that bikini and now that the Lord’s been all up in your bidness he wants to hit it, too. Some guys are like that. Be careful and teach the Son of God to turn wine back into water in case that king tries to get you drunk or some shit.

Look, Mary, ever since I visited your house on the slopes of Ephesus and got that big loud message and a bottl’o'your holy water, things’ve been bugging me. I’ve studiously avoided leaving comment here for above reason.
But it’s Mother’s Day and since you’ve coopeted Leezer’s space, would you mind, in your infinite grace and all that, passing my greetings along? She’s a gem of a mom, Leezer is. Just saying. You’re not the only one …
