Unsolved Mysteries

All you CSI types, I need your help. Bill came downstairs the other morning (while I was still fast asleep of course). He stretched a bit on the floor of our living room then went out for a run. When he returned home, he let the Hairy Beast out into the backyard. As he was letting her out, he noticed a dead bird in the middle of the living room floor. Right where he had been stretching before his run.

Surely he could not have missed a dead bird on the floor right next to him as he stretched. The bird was not wet as if it had been "chewed on" not were there any signs of trauma. Other than the fact that it was dead. Which I suppose could be defined as "traumatic".

So what happened? If Ruby sneaked in with her little snack late last night, she didn't do much snacking on it. Or did the bird just sneak in all by itself. I am baffled. And slightly creeped out.

Bill offered to retrieve the intruder/victim from the trash so I could have a picture for this post, but I declined. See, I do have some sense.

There are other mysteries around here. Look closely at the following picture. It is one insanely long hair that repeatedly grows that long on my upper arm...
What is up with that? Sadly, I did not have enough sense to spare you from that picture.

Another mystery...why, oh why do I do the "scary eyes" in so many of my pictures?
It must stop. I'm going to give people nightmares.

Other things I don't understand: why do my kids think I am so uncool when even they tell me that their friends say I am cool?
Tate didn't even want us to volunteer for Field Day at his school, even though it was solicited. After I told him, he had no choice in the matter and that either Bill or I would be there he said with a bit of a twinkle in his eye "Try not to say anything, okay?" As long as I don't break out the "scary eyes", we should be okay.

And the final mystery of the day, how is it that I get to be so blessed as to work with these people...
Love 'em. Every one of them. Especially the guy with the "scary eyes" right behind me in the picture.
