Woof.

Well, it was a wild weekend around here. On a whim I took Georgie to the SPCA and of course came home with a dog. A huge dog. A sweet, shedding, huge dog who was taking up even more space thanks to his cone of shame. Unfortunately, he was just too big for us. Scared Georgie, knocked over Beau, and was a little aggressive towards both of them. (Can't say I blame him, of course) So sadly I had to return him to the SPCA after about 36 hours. EPIC FAIL. I learned I probably need a smaller dog, and also that I do not currently have the bandwidth to handle another creature in this house. Might rethink things in like 5 years. Hopefully this guy is already safely in his forever home.

Mowgli

After 6 months of being home, my child no longer wants to wear shoes, dresses, or underpants. She barely lets me brush her hair. Apparently COVID has made my child into Mowgli from the Jungle Book. School next week should be interesting. 

Au naturel

Last Friday on a whim, I pulled out all of my fake eyelashes. I have been getting extensions for like 3 years, so seeing my natural lashes was both shocking and horrifying. However, after a few days and several coats of mascara, I don't mind the natural look. Especially considering I don't go anywhere - so what's the point of paying for lash extensions?? (I'm sure I will go back eventually, but going to enjoy the break!)

Can I phone a friend?

Georgie has started asking me questions that I can't answer (and probably should, which makes me feel even more stupid):

Why do bells ring?

Why do lions roar?

Why do people get in cars?

Let's talk about turtles/unicorns/giraffes/zebras.

I'm in big trouble.

Tiny movie mogul

Perhaps it's because I have given up altogether, but lately Georgie has become quite the movie watcher. She has seen at least 9 movies so far:

Frozen

Frozen 2

Trolls

Trolls 2

Madagascar 2

Cinderella

Princess and the Frog

Little Mermaid

Moana

Plus we have started several that we didn't finish. Winning, or absolutely losing, I don't know.

Negative, ghostrider - the pattern is full

Can't believe I am already planning Beau's first birthday - first, because 9 months has flown by, and second, because no one will be coming except the people that already live here...but whatever.

Going with a Top One theme, so I bought some baby aviator glasses and ordering fighter jet cookies, plus signs saying Welcome to the Danger Zone and I Feel the Need, the Need for Speed. Only question remaining: do I buy a sandbox and set up a beach volleyball situation...

Lightning doesn't strike twice

I think something on our house got struck by lightning last night - the garage door and sprinkler system don't work. Of course, you know you're in a pandemic when your garage door doesn't open and it doesn't really matter because you don't have anywhere to go anyway...
