It's been a while since I posted this picture of Tarzan and Cheetah and asked for your captions:
There were four submissions:
- "Dad, hurry up and get to the good part!"
- "Ugh, Mom does the voices better."
- "He's reading 'Love You Forever' again? I will not cry this time. I will NOT cry."
- "Are we there yet?"
They all made us laugh and though #2 is close runner up, Tarzan chose #3 as the funniest of them all.
Congratulations Cathie!!!

This is me, with a winner.
I know, it's been a while - no apologies, just a huge post that's coming - but in the meantime I would like to share the really good news we are party to. One of the many things Tarzan and I do is coach the Academic Decathlon team at his school. Well, he's the coach. *I* am the coach's wife, provider of the cookie bribes and chauffeur. I help with speeches, practice interviews, offer support, encouragement, scoldings and make a lot of cookies.We were a little disappointed after the last day of competition and the team was kind of apathetic about the awards ceremony tonight. We hosted dinner at our house and then went down to the convention center.It was awesome.Three medals.Two perfect scores.Most improved school in our district:
To put the whole event in perspective; the top five scores in our school district were the top five scores in the entire country. It is a smart group we compete against.This is me and I am so proud of the team.
I think I've given you all enough time to think of a decent response to "How Embarrassed WAS I?" and so I now officially declare a winner.Cathie is the winner!I started reading Cathie's blog because Rocketgirl told me to. But I kept reading because she's funny, smart, she loves to cook and SHE remembers to take pictures. Also, if you ask, she will come, comment, or anything else you have asked of her. She's awesome and we've never met.So, Cathie, send me your address and favorite variety of cookie via tempest30ATgmailDOTcom and they are as good as yours.This is me and when she says the word, the cookies are in the mail.
