Boo and I made the little charms shown above using Instagram photos and jumbo popsicle sticks. Aren’t they cute? We made a few photo magnets with them too for our chalkboard wall. (Just a tip: make sure to use neodymium scientific magnets.….they are super powerful. But keep them away from kids under the age of 3!) [Read more…]
I’m obviously easily amused. I don’t know why this made me laugh so hard…..but, because it did, I have to share. Spoiler alert: Notice that the kangaroo just “falls” into the bag. And then I laugh hysterically at the fact that he’s laying upside down with his tail sticking out.
I was at the doctor yesterday describing how I’d passed out the other day and I used this as an example: I collapsed, you know, like when Jake Sully gets unplugged and his avatar body collapses in front of the Na’vi. I got a blank stare. The Na’vi, the indigenous people of Pandora? Blank stare. I guess you didn’t see the movie…. I’ve got an echo on Monday and more blood work and then hopefully I get a break from doctor appointments for a while.
So glad it’s Saturday. I woke up early (or what I thought was early) and Boo immediately said: I ate the last cinnamon roll. You should have woken up earlier. She’s right. The cinnamon roll was fair game. Mr. LBB had to work early this morning. He had the chance to eat the last cinnamon roll but he didn’t. Boo played quietly and got dressed by herself, letting me sleep in as a peace offering.
So, we are going to Seattle soon for some much needed vacation. What should we do while we are there?
The back of my head is bruised…so is my chin, lip and shoulder:
I have this pinched nerve in my upper back and last night about 2am I went to get some ice water in the kitchen. The last thing I remember is leaning on the counter to catch my breath (because it’s really hard work walking from the bedroom to the kitchen, right?)…….and next thing I knew I woke up on the floor.
What the heck? I decided to sleep on the floor? When was that a good idea…..
And….. for a second….. I thought about just going back to sleep…… on the floor. Then I spent 10 minutes trying to get OFF the floor…..because a pinched nerve automatically makes you an invalid. Then I went back to bed like nothing happened.
Mr. LBB woke up around 6:30am and said “Want to go to Keedy’s for breakfast?”
Me: Sure. But could you tell me how bad I look right now?
Mr. LBB: What?!
Me: I think I fell face first into the kitchen counter last night.
Mr. LBB: Do you think you have a concussion?
Me: No. But I wish we had security cameras…..that video would be classic.
……..and I feel like I’m missing another 5 minutes from my life. I wish I’d at least had a few drinks…..it would have made a better story.
In other news….Lisa (the chicken) laid an egg!
I feel like a proud parent.
And this…..
…….is how the universe keeps in balance.
