Doll Face


Jed took William to See's candy store to get me a Valentine's Day present. (have I mentioned I LOVE chocolate covered caramels) They carefully picked an assortment of Lori approved yummy confections and went to the check out counter. Now remember that Will doesn't have a quiet voice. Everything he says is in high volume.

The lady at the register said to Will "oh is this for your mom?" To which Will matter of factly replied, "no, it's for my step mom, and we call her bonus mom, but I call her Doll Face!" (he actually does call me Doll Face) Jed said it was just a classic Will moment. He was talking so loud that EVERYONE in the store could hear him and immediately started laughing because he was just so darn cute.

Dori is more than just a name for a fish


So, I guess I should explain my new nickname... I have a tendancy to be a little bit absent minded and get distracted very easily. If you haven't ever seen "Finding Nemo", then you won't understand anything about my nickname. My husband, (boyfriend at the time) and I were walking through Wal-Mart looking for some particular items. I was especially "punchy" that late night long ago and was able to find just about every obscure misplaced item that people had stuffed back on the shelves. What insued was me walking through the store shouting ooooh hey look, Mexican Vanilla!!!, or wow! pink jelly shoes or what ever it was that I found. It was that night that the nickname Dori was born. Sadly, this was not an isolated incident. Anyone who knows me well can vouch for that. Thank goodness I can laugh at myself. It makes it easier for others to laugh at me too. So.....here's to the new world of blogging and having fun laughing at our lives together.
