My Mama said I could have a Hatrack username when I had something to say.
Well, as of 4:45 Central Daylight Time today, I will have been in this world exactly one year.
It's been a good year for the most part. I have especially enjoyed being awwed over by Jatraqueros.
So thank you, and happy birthday to me!

Happy Birthday, Princess Ems! Beleive it or not, I was thinking to myself yesterday, "I think KP's birthday is any day now". Really!
I say you should get two cakes!
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
Why, you think she doesn't eat enough sweets?
Two days ago, she managed to steal, and mostly consume, a peanut butter M&M. I was not pleased. Her grandma feeds her candy, her abba feeds her cake, and she expects me to give her cookies after lunch...

Next time we meet, I'll try to know another game besides peek-a-boo. Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
Next time you meet, she'll probably be talking you under the ground and teaching you all her favorite games. Posted by SteveRogers (Member # 7130) on :
Happy Birthday! (I don't know you, I'm sorry to say ) I say she should get two cakes and some ice cream. But all three things have to be ketchup flavored. OR she could have just one cake, that is a normal flavor.

She had messy spaghetti for lunch. If you want to see that, I can post that picture, but I'm not baking today. It's too hot. I will get the requisite cake-all-over-the-face picture at her party. Posted by SteveRogers (Member # 7130) on :
You had better. Otherwise numerous Jatraqueros/Jatraqueras will be unhappy. So don't forget. I'm just kidding you. Posted by punwit (Member # 6388) on :
Happy Birthday lil one. Don't be in a hurry to grow up. No matter how hard you try you'll never ketchup to your mama. Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
Wow, what a great birthday gift-- a pun from punwit. Posted by SteveRogers (Member # 7130) on :
That is a great gift. And since I don't know her hence having no gift to offer.......*slinks into the darkness behind the thread* Muhahahahaha Posted by punwit (Member # 6388) on :
If she takes after her mama I fully expect her to develop a wonderful sense of humor and the ability to relish a good pun.

Posted by Ketchup Princess (Member # 7716) on :
Thank you for the birthday wishes!
I am having a good birthday. We went for a walk and saw duckies and a neighbor. Then I came in and had my birthday lunch. Now I am listening to one of my favorite albums ( Not For Kids Only ). I think I will read a book now, and then maybe have a nap by the end of the album. I have to have my naps to grow, you know. Posted by SteveRogers (Member # 7130) on :
Did you feed the ducks bread? I loved doing that when I was young. You have to be careful though because sometimes they bite. White bread is the best type to use. Its guarenteed fun. If the ducks are in a park, a picnic in the park is fun. And then either before/after the meal you can feed the ducks. (I think we need a rubber ducky emoticon.....no reason really...)
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
The ducks are behind our complex; we have a pond. And she's not quite got the concept of feeding the food to the ducks yet; she tries to eat it herself. So we save all the Cheerios and pieces of bread and cookie halves and such that she throws on the floor, and when they fill up the little bowl on the counter that we put them in, we take them down with us and feed them to the ducks while Emma watches and claps and laughs from her stroller. She likes to see the ducks waddle. Posted by SteveRogers (Member # 7130) on :
She'd probably like penguins then. They waddle.
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
Yes, we haven't recieved it yet, but her grandpa got her a family membership to the zoo, and we live two blocks from the train station, and the train stops right across from the zoo entrance, so I'm sure we'll be going often very soon. She loves animals.
Posted by SteveRogers (Member # 7130) on :
That is a good thing. I knew someone who let their daughter be terrified of every animal in existence. She screamed everytime they left the house. The zoo is a great place to go, you'll just have to schedule accordingly (You might want to make sure it isn't "mating season."). Otherwise zoos are great places.
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
The ducks behind our complex have been mating for a month now...

Happy First Birthday, little one!!! I've never had the privelege of meeting you, but from your pictures at Wenchcon III you sure look precious. Hope you have all the sweets you can scrounge. (Ssssh... don't tell mom.) Hope you get tons of presents, too. And, I love the name Emma. It's one of my top favorite girl names.
Posted by SteveRogers (Member # 7130) on :
kq- Thats.....interesting.....of course the elephants are slightly larger than ducks.....but.....whatever you feel is appropriate......
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
Ketchup Princess, Since you like Jerry Garcia and David Grisman so much, you will love the music I sent you. Also, have your mommy buy you a Dan Zanes album. It is more music that both of you will love. This is my favorite, because it has the song "All Around the Kitchen."
KP, since I don't think you need quite so many sweets, I will be eating your virtual birthday cake - virtually, of course. Happy Birthday! Tell Mom to write you a letter and put it in your baby book.

Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
Sweet? Duck reproduction?
Posted by TMedina (Member # 6649) on :
Sweet and sour duck, maybe.
But it sounds more like pork to me.
-Trevor
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
Are you calling my child a piggy?
Okay, she is, a little. But she's on a growth spurt! Posted by TMedina (Member # 6649) on :
I was actually referring to the slang which uses "pork" as a verb rather than a noun.
The pun transitions from sweet and sour duck, a Chinese dish to a play on Chinese food and a mildly vulgar term for ducks procreating.
-Trevor
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
I didn't even know that term.
Naughty, naughty Trevor, teaching me dirty slang so I'll get embarassed by even more Charades clues...
Posted by TMedina (Member # 6649) on :
I only heard half of that story - mostly because the person telling me was laughing so hard she wasn't coherent.

Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
That's right, you were passed out on the floor at that point. Posted by SteveRogers (Member # 7130) on :
Wow, how easily we get off topic! All because Princess saw duckies. We must be evil. Or something very much like evil. Either way I think I'm going to forget this thread existed. Or not. I haven't decided yet. I really have no need to hear about ducks reproducing. Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :

The whole duck. It's a kind of a whole body "shudder".
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
Ketchup Princees, did your birthday present come yet? It should be there today.
Posted by Ketchup Princess (Member # 7716) on :
Ms. Elizabeth, my present came! We just got the mail, and I carried it all the way upstairs by myself. But Mama won't let me have the papers in it, and they were clearly mine. *grump*
Anyway, we're listening to Solas right now, and I am clapping along and dancing. Thank you!
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
Yay! Tell your mommy if you want to crumple up those papers you go right ahead and I will just email her a new set. When she is not looking, I will slip you some chocolate pudding, too, since I am approaching a grandmotherly age.
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
She's going to love you forever if you feed her chocolate pudding.
She was just bouncing and cracking up watching Abba and Mama two-stepping to Keith Frank.

Uncontrollable two-stepping, Jeff in his suit, me in jeans with no shoes. Jeff was home for dinner, I was overcome by the music and grabbed him as Ems finished her dessert.
Posted by SteveRogers (Member # 7130) on :
Can you give her this imaginary flamingo? *hands kq a flamingo*
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
Sure, when she's up from her nap.
Flamingoes were one of my favorites as a young girl. Along with koalas, pandas, and penguins. And, of course, kitties.
Posted by SteveRogers (Member # 7130) on :
I loved penguins and flamingos. I thought she might like a flamingo. Its one of those rare orange, rather than pink, flamingos. And, whether you choose to believe it or not, I'm not trying to make your daughter weird, I swear! Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
KQ, Keith and family play sometimes until 7AM in the dance tent, and the dance tent is packed the whole time. He is amazing. His grandfather is a famous Cajun musician-Carlton Frank? I think?
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
Pictures of Ketchup Princess' cake and ice cream are finally up (yes, I had to take pictures for an ebay listing, so emptied the camera first, and my husband put them online to share with friends at another forum. Sorry. I'm lazy about stuff like that sometimes.)
And as an apology for waiting so long (and becuase it's up) a more recent one of Emma in headphones, listening to music (Not For Kids Only, Jerry Garcia and David Grisman, if you were curious. It's her favorite album-- well, that and Rabbits Dance, which is Marcia Berman singing songs by Malvina Reynolds.) That's another traditional shot, at least in my family. You can see the mess she had made in the background before we got her to calm down a little and listen to some music. *sigh*

PS - Turning the rubber duck into a cooler? Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
I thought it was fun. I was like, "We don't have room for drinks in our fridge." KPC: "Well, we have a cooler, and we can get some ice." Me: "Ooh! Or we could use her bathtub, because it's a ducky, too!"
It even quacks when you squeeze the beak. Posted by TMedina (Member # 6649) on :
Heheheheh. That is too cute.
And I'm gonna hate asking this, but...KPC? KetchupPrinceCharming?
