Lindsay Marshall, over at Bifurcated Rivets posted what is quite possibly the best "I'm Going On Vacation" blog message ever - Shhhhhhhhhh

This is the first blog I read BTW - I've been reading it on and off since close to the beginning. (I find that it's more fun to read a bunch of it in one swoop than keep up with it throughout the day.)

As of this moment, by being on local holiday exploring the beautiful state of Oregon (and in the process, thoroughly neglecting my site), I have completed the world's second most predictable case study. The first is obviously the recent headline grabber that, DUH (in my best 7th grade vernacular - you'll see why in a minute), if you hang out with people who eat a lot, you just might start to eat a lot too. (How much funding did it take to figure that one out??).

In the spirit of stupidity, I think we need a new word, and here it is, 7th grade spelling-bee style:

Moderator: "Your word is: Obviosity. [pause] Obviosity."
Good Speller, Bad Dresser (GSBD): "Can I have the definition of the word?"
Moderator: "Uh, I think the meaning is pretty much implied, don't you?"
GSBD: "True my good sir. May I have the word used in a sentence?"

My kids have been on vacation at their grandparents house for the last 10 days and I am missing them terribly. Thankfully it's only 2 more days until they get back.
I'm a stay at home dad and spend all kinds of time with them and I've often found myself sitting here wishing for a bit of peace and quiet....then I finally get it and I miss the noise and fun around the house.
Careful what you wish for, I guess.
