HAHAHA I love reading your blog. You are so funny and clever! It’s always a bright spot in my afternoon seeing what you have to say
LOL, thanks Kellly! I’m always happy to see you here in the comments. 🙂 How’s your day going so far? I just got back from early lunch and a stop at the library.
SUPER busy today, doing 3 different jobs that everyone needs right away! But I took a break to see what’s doing with MU&BB, of course!
I hope you were able to get everything done and that it wasn’t too stressful. 🙂
Do you like your job, otherwise?
I’m about to go make an early dinner… either pizza or a chicken and corn stew in a tomato base. I can’t decide!
Too funny! 🙂
Thanks lady! 🙂
Love this list, especially #2!!
My Baby Girl signed up for wilderness survival training. It’s two weeks up in the Tahoe area. I think it’s going to be harder on me than on her. Two weeks without any calls or texts. What is wrong with me?
I could send her to the moon or Mars and be ok, as long as I can call, text or facetime her.
Wow, your girl is a bad@ss! That’s awesome… And quite handy should the apocalypse go down. I had no idea she was so outdoorsy. Was she always that way?
And yeah, I’d have trubs if I couldn’t talk to Connor for two weeks.
Funny you should mention the apocalypse. That was her exact reasoning for doing this class. Outdoorsy? I dunno. She does ride horses and white water raft and surf. She’s just a tough cookie. Maybe too tough sometimes. But she’s always been intrepid and brave-ish. Or maybe I just encouraged it? I did send her on summer trips and camps in MA (by herself), FL (she swam with dolphins and got to pet a FL cougar, or was it a panther?) and NY (she led all her friends down 5th Ave like it was nothing) and DC before she even got to high school.
Seriously though, it wouldn’t hurt to have that in one’s skillset. I read a book that El Hub had around (How to Survive the End of the World as We Know It: Tactics, Techniques, and Technologies for Uncertain Time) for that purpose, although let’s be honest. If sci-fi sh*t went down I’d be the first course in zombie dinner.
You should tell your daughter that if she really wants to survive the apocalypse hand-to-hand martial arts training comes in handy. That’s in El Hub’s “Apocalypse Survival Training Plan” for babygirl.
Oh, cool. I’ll pass that on. They did do self defense training when she was a senior in high school and she was the only girl to hurt the instructor because she went for it. Did I mention she’s also taking archery lessons.
UM, AWESOMENESS. She might also want to learn how to make canned goods as well as other food preservation techniques. I know, not nearly as exciting as survival wilderness training or self defense, but a useful skill according to How to Survive the End of the World.
Re: martial arts, I think El Hub plans to take Connor to jiu jitsu? It’s supposed to be the martial art that’s practical for ground fighting, according to him.
Oooh Jiu Jitsu is supposed to be intense. At least that’s what I heard.
It’s a lot of hand to hand and stuff on the ground, but according to El Hub that’s how most real-life fights go down. It’s also supposed to be one of the more practical martial arts for women because you can still have a chance even if you’re outmatched in terms of height and weight. I want to learn it eventually!
For now, I’ll just enjoy Connor’s baby babbling in her crib next to my office. Allegedly this is nap time… LOL! Instead the babies in her crib are getting a concert.
HAHA! I’m sure the reader would be inspired. 🙂 SO true about the gateway cat.
I mean really, once you let that fourth cat into your home/heart it’s only a matter of time before you have, like, 12 of them. We all the inevitable truth!
Words of wisdom. Unless you have a spouse who puts a hard cap at 4. Not that I’d know from personal experience. HAHA!
I honestly think I could sneak in that fifth and sixth cat without El Hub noticing. 🙂
HAHA! Oh, I just laughed out loud! The trick is to color block. 3 of our cats were predominantly gray. What do you mean “new cat”? That’s just Emma, or Harriet, or Sophie. HAHA!
Number 4 is the gateway cat? Then I can safely add another one, maybe even two!
Do it, girl!
I love this! I keep post-it’s in my purse to leave little messages. Usually it’s something like, “You are enough” or something like that. I like your affirmations, positive and playful!
That’s such a good idea, Stephanie! I just might borrow that one from you.
One of the many reasons I love your blog.
