1)  Max lost his fourth tooth yesterday.

2)  I got another ongoing writing assignment I applied for, Phoenix TV Examiner.

3)  I finally learned how to make homemade macaroni and cheese that doesn’t suck.

Let’s start with the last one first.  I must once again thank Amanda Hesser, for I used her recipe.  It’s not that hard.  I just never really got the whole thing about making the bechamel sauce first, then putting the cheese in.  All this time I never really knew how to make the sauce cheesy but smooth.  Now I do!  Conrad loved it. 

“Simple, but honest,” he declared it.

Max has been eating a lot of macaroni too, because his top tooth was super loose and I think it was sore.  He’s been living on Michelina’s Wheels and Cheese, which he calls “circle macawacky and cheese.”  Seriously, I don’t know where he got that pronunciation from.  But I find it hilarious.

Well, last night the tooth finally came out!  I think Conrad managed to pull it out.  It was hanging by a thread.  Max was all serious.  He held the tooth in his hand and turned it over and over with this concerned look on his face.  I congratulated him on becoming a big boy, but he was more interested in soaking up the blood in the new hole with toilet paper, and then leaving the tiny bloody scraps all over my bed.

So, I am really happy to be able to write as Phoenix TV Examiner.  I love being a Phoenix Theater Examiner, but it’s really hard to find things to write about every day, and my goal is I want to publish at least one article every single day.  Having TV as a topic, surely I can find something to talk about almost every day!  And hopefully I’ll get more readers too, since more people do internet searches on TV-related topics than theater-related ones.
