A moment with Darby

I was thinking today... when I first got here and started kissing people hello (one on each cheek), I would make sort of a "mwa" sound when I did it. I would meet someone, walk up and say, "mwa" to one cheek as I kissed and "mwa" to the other cheek, like I was really enjoying it or something. I´m a sick weirdo I guess. I told catehrine and the kids about it the other day and they laughed pretty hard. Now I just kiss, sans noise, and it´s much more natural. Really though, kissing people on the cheeks reminds me of Vince in Wedding Crashers telling the preist to "get in here for the real thing." Maybe I´ll say that the next time I meet someone.

An incident also occurred today, that I now find funny... I was walking, sort of hopping, up the stone/wood stairs in the house. We wear slippers in the house here, it´s a cultural thing, never shoes. Mine are cheap and stretched out, so I have a hard time keeping them on my feet. One slipped off and tripped me and I fell up the stairs in the house, all alone. I banged the front tendon of my foot pretty hard and my knee. I had to sit there on the stairs, all alone, and pull myself back together. Grabbing my foot, rocking back and forth, all by myself, please just think of the visual... funny, huh? I think so. My dad said it sounded like a Dave move, so true (all said in love D). Though, I doubt my grandparents or relatives will think so, I think Abby and Fitch, maybe Finley will get a kick out of it.

That´s all I got. Just home alone on a Friday night and waiting to get tired. I hope everyone at home is great and that the lovely Oregon fall has kicked in and that you receive a "boquet of newly sharpened pencils..." Can you guess which movie that´s from? I´ll leave you with that.
