"If you don't see the book on the shelf, write it." ~ Beverly Cleary
We cleared out the guest bedroom and the no longer think of it as a catch-all for things we don’t know where to put.
Instead we’re filling it up with All Things Baby.
The crib got put together and now we’re playing Musical Furniture.
Baby steps, people. Baby steps.
We’ve got a house guest for the next few weeks and Sydney has to show him the ropes around HBHQ.
Lesson #1: How to Get Your Human to Open the Door for You
Perhaps tomorrow she’ll cover the topic of how to take a 12 hour nap.
SATURDAY EVENING @ GROCERY STORE
Me: I don’t know what to get for a snack. NOTHING looks good. [Poor, poor me]
Barry: Just get the Idaho Spud. [As if it were the most logical choice]
Me: Yeah, I think the Spud is the way to go. Look, this is the candy bar that made Idaho famous. [Is Idaho really famous?]
WEDNESDAY MORNING
Barry: When are you going to eat your Spud?
Me: Hands off the Spud! I’ll eat it when I’m ready. [I proceed to worry about my Spud all day at work while Barry works from home. Spud survives the work day.]
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON
Me: Spud is a dud. So gross. [Such a let down]
Barry: Oh, you are right, that is not good.
Moral of the story: Stay away from the Spud that made Idaho famous.
