dual personalities

It is true. Daughter #1 is finally back on blog post duty. The past several weeks have been full of crazy mishaps and scheduling situations, but never fear, I am here with a mish mosh of a post. Seriously, last week, I got home from work, settled in to watch a little Brooklyn-99 before writing my blog post and found the internet was not working. As I struggled to reach the modem in the top of the closet and then to navigate the CenturyLink website from my phone to determine if there was an outage in my area, I kid you not, “Helpless” by Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young was stuck in my head. The nasally tone of Neil Young repeating “Helpless, helpless, he-el-pless” would not stop. Because when the internet is out in your town, you really are pretty helpless.

Anyway, to begin, I feel that I need to tell you that my secret shame is that I love Flaming Hot Cheetos. I deserve your judgment. Well, I also need to tell you that the devil tempted me to purchase this product while at the grocery store recently. I thought I would it try as a blog content.

You can all thank me for telling you what should already be obvious from the packaging and product itself. It is gross. It doesn’t really have a flavor. But the sheer amount of Red Dye #40 is what really made me want to gag. I did not eat more than three bites. Just call me a content creator.

From one cheetah to another, I present what is sure to be darling Katie’s favorite dress.

Isn’t this Rifle Paper Company fabric just the loveliest? I love everything they create. I will be sure to provide updated pictures when we see if it fits.

This hit a little too close to home given that I know my mother’s password.

And this made me laugh. Snoopy is so sophisticated. But, I’d feel the same way.

As I frequently say on the blog, you’ve got to find some small joys in life as it really does feel as if everything is broken all around us.
