This is my first meeting and...I'll admit it...i have degenerated into the microwave world of Facebook. It is the sole reason this has morphed into The XTLite. Sickening I know. I've tried to break free, i have, but i suppose admitting i have a problem IS the first step towards recovery. One of my New Years Resolutions that i really never admitted verbally was to spend less time in...there, and more time in here. Here i am...twelve days into the year and...one post...one...wan, anemic offering.
No...more.
That said...
Last week we had taken the highly anticipated Lunch Break du jour. It had been a morning of spectacular drudgery in Phonics, Writing, and Poetry. They were ready...i was ready. I signaled the break and they vanished. Now, remember, it was like 18* outside so it wasn't like they were going anywhere out there...yet for about 20 minutes, i heard NOTHING from Her Royalness and The Prosecutor. About the time i decided this was nothing less than reticent secrecy... The Prosecutor emerges from the Royals Throneroom...
"Daddy, wanna see the dress we made?"
"Hmmm...SURE!" This oughtta be interesting...
She disappears momentarily into the Throneroom where animated, giggle laced whisperings accelerate the premonition. She then emerges from said room like an emcee announcing Miss America...
"Here she is Daddy!"
Her Royalness sweeps elegantly out and into The Great Hall wearing the latest in fashion from Emilee Skye's...
What the...?
Good Lord.
It was like a presage into another time...a time i am NOT even CLOSE to being ready for...
Take a gander...
They had taken a blanket from The X's bed chamber and wrapped it around her. They then proceeded to add the accessories to make it fit...so...yeah...
Did i say i am so not ready for...well, this is our baby! Our firstborn! She skips around here in tattered jeans and t-shirts and then they come up with...THIS?!
Maybe its time to collect all those Barbies and start buying more fishin poles.

Well move over Christian Dior, Coco Chanel and Stella McCartney....Emilee Skye is out to take center stage! (What a clever name, by the way.) Just magnifique my Mademoiselles ! Yep, look out Daddy....
HONEY
Little girls spend lots of time wanting to be big girls. They will try to morph early, but you can fight it.

I HAD noticed. Facebook is sorta like crack, methinks. I kicked it some time ago and don't miss all the inanity one bit. But I'm a geezer, so there's that.
Nice pic! I'd start cleaning my shotgun, were I you. ;-)
She's a beauty! I should email you something I got several years ago about "Rules for Dating My Daughter". They certainly are "creative" and they should get an A+.
