weekend food and what i need

every saturday, with very few exceptions, i make buttermilk pancakes from scratch for LH. it's easy and is something that totally makes his day, so i'm more than happy to do it. when he was little, his friends actually used to call him "maples" because he liked maple syrup so much. i think they were on to something, because whenever LH eats pancakes and syrup, he smells like maple syrup for the entire day!


i think i've mentioned before that bozeman is quite a social butterfly. so much so, in fact, that he sometimes has problems eating when we aren't watching. saturday, LH and i were trying to get bozeman to eat his food while we were eating breakfast and it just wasn't happening. LH ended up putting bozeman's toy squirrel next to the food bowl and told bozeman that his squirrel was eating his food and he better get some before it was all gone. it turned out that bozeman doesn't mind sharing his food.


and this is what happens when it's 2:00pm and you haven't eaten lunch yet and then talk to a friend on the phone about the macaroni and cheese that she just ate. i had to run out to the store right away and buy not just one box, but three boxes of macaroni and cheese. i also threw in a bag of my favorite potato chips and my favorite candy for good measure.


and finally, i couldn't resist adding this part. amy and k did this on their blogs recently and i thought it was hilarious, so here we go. these are the top then things that "i need" according to google:
1. LW needs a kid (doesn't bozeman count?)
2. LW needs a bit of help to get up on the bed (maybe on our ginormous guest bed, but certainly not in our bed)
3. LW needs a housewife like me (i can't even count how many times i said this when i had a "real" full time job)
4. LW needs help with her baby, y'all (um...)
5. LW needs to come home (my mom must have put this one out there so i would come visit)
6. LW needs coffee show (some coffee does sound really good right now, especially with some milk in it)
7. LW needs facebook (i've already got it)
8. LW needs your help! (sure... anyone want to send some free money my way?)
9. LW needs kelly's backing (i don't have any friends named kelly, but i'll take her support, whoever she is)
10. LW needs a china destination (ooh! i'd really LOVE to go to china. anyone have some extra olympics tickets that they want to give me?)

if you try the google search on your own blog, link to it from my comments so everyone else can get a good laugh out of it =)

The squirrel is too funny. Our dog won't eat either unless I am in the room... strange.

I love your needs...
