kids say the darndest things

They really do.

I try to keep a mental tab of all the ridiculous things little girl says throughout the day.  She is quite a character and she is not even a little bit shy.  It is kind of embarrassing sometimes.

Today alone, we got:

while crossing the street
"umm...abi...we're kind of jaywalking."

while driving silently in the car
*sigh* "I wish I could sleep in a dog bed."

while washing hands in a public restroom
me: "oooh automatic faucets, just our style"
little girl: "how convenient!"

Also, she would have TORN. UP. this show.

little update

So, today Rob accepted an offer from his current contract job.  It is potentially a really amazing opportunity and I am praying that he gives his best and gets the most out of it.  It is crazy to think that at the beginning of this month we were freaking out that he lost his job, and within two days he found this contract position, and now will be making a significant chunk more than in his previous position!  I think it's safe to say we both feel really blessed and I am so proud of him.  He is so talented at what he does and I hope that this is the start of an awesome new chapter for him!

This is us on our cursed trip to Pennsylvania.  Still, it's all I have right now.

bath number one

Simon had his very first bath today (at least here...not too sure about his former life).  He took it like a champ and hasn't shunned me yet, so I am pleased.  It may have something to do with the large amount of treats he was given throughout the course of said bath.  But now he is clean and smells good.  It all worked out.

guilty pleasures: part one

THIS SONG.

I was once told all white people like Kid Cudi.  It stands to reason, I guess.

Also...

THIS COVER OF THAT SONG.

Obviously.

p.s. look up her cover of lady gaga's bad romance.  i mean...what?!

i crocheted something i actually like!

Out of boredom the other night, I google image searched "crochet slouchy hat pattern free" and clicked on the very first picture.  I was directed to this lovely blog entry.  It took me two nights to finish (I got hideously frustrated with the way step 4 was written.  Turns out I am more beginner than beginner sometimes).  But all problems were solved and this is what I came up with.  I used leftover yarn that wasn't exactly the weight I was supposed to use but I still feel like it worked.  Perhaps less slouchy than it should be, but whatever.  I'm going to get more yarn tomorrow and try again.  It was fun and easy!  

You know, once I figured out step 4.

lost and found phone = photo dump.

Okay, so I went overboard.  But today I was looking for my iPod and I found Rob's old iPhone stuffed into my glove compartment.  Wondering if there was anything good on it, I charged it up in my car and found all these ridiculous/glorious pictures from days of old.  So naturally I put them aaalllll on my blog.

I do what I want.

And now I want to go to bed.

Goodnight.

cosmic love

I have definitely posted this video somewhere before, but I felt inclined to post it again, because I love this song so.  I also just got finished explaining to Rob that this song makes me think of The Wise Man's Fear by Patrick Rothfuss, a book that totally rules, specifically the part where the main character, Kvothe, is seduced by this thoughttobemythical woman named Felurian, and he is in this woods-type place basically just doing it with Felurian (inappropriate) and he has absolutely no concept of time because there it is always twilight-ish and no way to distinguish between days.  He doesn't necessarily want to be there because he loves another girl but he feels trapped and this video just makes me feel like it was about that part of the book.

Well, after I told Rob this  he just said that I was weird and returned to his video game.  So maybe I'm crazy.  So you'll have to read it for yourself and tell me.
