BARIUM! Apparently it tasted like unfancy chalk milkshake, but in my romanticized, Curious-George-influenced mind, barium would be found on the shelf right between &#8220;Ambrosia&#8221; and &#8220;Elixir&#8221;. (Which is filed next to &#8220;Ether&#8221;, apparently Curious George got into that at one point, too, as I have a mousepad which proves it.) My parents got me the Curious George Goes to the Hospital book waaaay back in the day when it was looking like my tonsils &#038; I would need to be parted, and quick. For the less-read set, Mr. George swallowed a piece of a puzzle, and he was a HIT on the children&#8217;s ward. I, on the other hand, didn&#8217;t see a single other patient when my tonsils came out, and let me tell you, despite the promises of Ice Cream All Day Long, having one&#8217;s tonsils taken out is not exactly Fun Times and Party Pants. The surgical staff learned a little lesson that day, though &#8211; they didn&#8217;t clean me up before they wheeled me out, and I apparently had blood on my face, and all down the sheet. My parents thought I was dead &#038; reacted, you know, how a worried parent might. MUCH OF THE FREAKING OUT. My money says they started mopping up the blood &#038; changing the sheet before wheeling you out after that. Me? I slept through the whole thing. Sort of sums up college, too.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.spinningathena.blogspot.com\/\">Miss Kristin<\/a> was the brains &#038; dexterity behind the success in standing Curious George upright, with both puppets on his hands &#038; as you can see, he is King of the Jelly Bellys.  Kristin is Queen of the Sweaters, as you can see, she is wearing her finished Te Rosada in a loverly hand-dyed blend of greens &#038; yellows.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/photos1.blogger.com\/blogger\/5985\/480\/1600\/100_0642.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;\" src=\"http:\/\/photos1.blogger.com\/blogger\/5985\/480\/400\/100_0642.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I took these pictures <strong>while<\/strong> I was on the phone.
