Thank You!

Thank you, parchment paper, for giving me one less thing to wash....
And thank you Gygi's for providing me with pre-cut parchment sheets.

Thank you, Chuggington, for allowing me to shower in peace.

Thank you, hat from Target, for letting me show myself in public when I haven't washed my hair in 4 days.

Thank you, Super Nanny, for making me feel better about my {sometimes lackluster} parenting skills.

Thank you, Jackson, for engaging me in an intense conversation about ice pickles {better known as ice picks} and how to use them.

Thank you, child at the gym, for staying in the bathroom after taking all your clothes off instead of attempting a nude ride down the slide.

Thank you, pimp next door, for remaining in jail. Please continue to do so until your rental agreement is up.

Thank you, Rick Steves, Masterpiece and British Comedies on PBS, for transporting me {if just for a moment} to some of my favorite places and memories.

right now landon loves to get into mischief. he can climb the stairs and has realized that an open door leads to adventure (especially if it's the bathroom door)! he's loves to stand up and will use anything he can to help him get to that position (other people's legs are a favorite. not ideal while trying to make dinner). he claps and gives "fives", and loves to blow raspberries!

Funky

I'm in a funk.

I hope I come out of it soon. I blame it on the weather. Give me as much snow as you want- I'll  be happy. But these frigid temperatures are killing me. I'm in major hibernation mode and cannot find the motivation to accomplish anything significant. My house is a disaster, but I'd much rather snuggle up under a warm blanket with a book than clean.

I have nothing exciting to blog about. Maybe I should do a vlog instead. On second thought, maybe not. I can't get into the whole vlog thing. Every once and awhile I am thoroughly entertained by a vlog post someone has done, but for the most part they just make me uncomfortable. People act weird when they're trying to communicate to the masses through their home video camera on a tripod, especially when they're trying to be serious. I love a good silly vlog post but those are few and far between, and most "try" too hard to be funny and end up like the home movies my friends and I made in highschool that we thought were HILARIOUS. Those in the video will always find it hilarious, but no matter how many people you show it to no one will get it. They'll just look at you (with laughing tears streaming down your face) and tell you you're lame.

Thank you, Punxsutawney Phil, for predicting and early Spring. I can't wait to open all the windows in the house and air out this funk. Please let me do so soon....I'm getting restless.
