Ideas and Tips Galore
Edited to add:
I just realized my father in law occasionally stops by to read, so if you are reading today…stop…this isn’t the blog you’re looking for. 
There’s a great blog that I just discovered recently, chock full of tips and this month she’s doing some giveaways. The Tip Junkie is exactly as it sounds, she’s got a blog full of some great ideas from readers and other bloggers.
One of the tips that caught my attentions was this great gift idea from a bride to be named Laura. I am going to attempt to make these for MC’s grandparents for Grandparent’s Day. Please note I said “attempt” so that I don’t actually have to provide a finished project. I’m reading how easy peasy it is and I’m pretty sure positive that I will find a way to make this the most difficult project ever. Trust me, I can…don’t challenge me.
We are all stuck inside laying about like a herd of seals as it is too hot to exist. It’s quite thick and soupy muggy out there and I’m enjoying my a/c today.
Stay cool!

Shopping Trip
I went to the mall with my sister last night to look for some new summer clothes. We looked high and low, had a milkshake looked some more. Here’s what I found on my shopping trip for ME.
- Thomas the Tank Engine Indoor Tent
- Set of 5 Tonka Cars
- Two Potty Training Children’s Books
- Lightening McQueen Bouncy Ball
- 2 Pairs of shorts Size 18-24 Months
- Michael Crichton Book – Hardcover- Next ($7.99!!!)
Do you see a theme here? I found nothing that I found remotely appealing in any of the stores I normally go to. I’m going shopping again with Kate tonight and I’m hoping I can find SOMETHING.
Lola is currently bashing around upstairs playing with the new tent, good thing I trimmed her nails so she doesn’t shred the damn thing.

Kissy, Kissy
Merlin has been known to pass gas occasionally…okay, like everyday. So here I am sitting ever so innocently watching Play With Me Sesame and waiting for MC’s afternoon munchies to kick in. Merlin jumps up to sit beside me and not so noiselessly passes his daily fart. MC felt the need to respond to this wondrous noise…with what you say? His own fart noise? A raspberry?
Oh no, nothing that mundane. The boy copies Merlin with kissy noises.
All this time I thought that Merlin was just doing what dogs do, but MC has shown me that this is the way dogs blow kisses.

After I Cleaned Up Poo
I realized that most of my morning activities are buffered by that phrase. After I clean up cat poo I’ll sit down with MC for a bit. After I clean up MC poo, I’ll go clean the poo he leaked onto the bathroom counter. After I clean up the leaked poo, I’ll put laundry away. After I clean up dog poo, I’ll water the grass.
See what I mean. Poo. I’m surrounded.
