Thoughts on the Weekend

  • Things that I like that I can’t explain # 2341128 – Buttermilk Pie.  
  • Apple pie moonshine and ginger ale might be tasty, but apparently it makes me mean as a snake.
  • Dog activities of the weekend – brushing, bath, more brushing, another bath, then more brushing.  Followed up by vacuuming the house three times to get the hair that fell off after all that.
  • Put up 9 pints of salsa this evening.  It’s the first time doing this, so stay tuned for results in a few weeks.
    • Apparently I am capable of learning.  This time I remembered to wash my hands after chopping up hot peppers but before I touched anything sensitive.
  • We took the kids to a water park for a few hours.  Let me just say this:  Ladies, if you’re thinking of getting a tattoo on your abdomen or lower back, go to a water park and check out the women about 10 years older than you.  Decide if that’s what you want to look like after a pregnancy or two and having your ass kicked by Father Time for a decade.
  • Gentlemen, you’re not off the hook:  Before you get a tattoo at 20 when your chest, back, and arms are relatively hair free, take a look at the men 10 years older to see what a hairy tribal, cartoon character, or motivational phrase in Japanese looks like.
  • While at the water park, I went down a two or three story water slide that was an enclosed tube.  I now know what it feels like to be flushed.
  • Watched Animalympics with the kids during the hot part of the day. Never noticed the smoking, drinking, and cartoon cleavage in that movie before.  It’s a wonder that we didn’t burst into flame or have exploding craniums in 1980.
  • Koshka got out last night and didn’t come home until this morning.  She proceeded to eat a huge breakfast and then sleep until 3 PM.  I guess we’ve reached the feline teenage years.
  • Homemade peach jam on french toast is good enough to make bacon superfluous.
  • Pro-tip – Do not leave a 4 year old alone in the bathtub with a new bottle of bubble bath.  In related news, the bathtub is cleaner than I’ve seen it in a long time, and the entire house smells like bubble gum.

    Pro-Tip #2: always choose bubble bath in a flavour that you can stand the whole house smelling of.
