We are back online! We had lost internet access earlier this week when the people putting in our new backyard fence accidentally cut through the cable. You might think that would be something they would mention - but they’re probably more likely to mention that the tip I gave them is too big. Oh wait - that is EXACTLY what they said when I gave them a tip after they installed our new attic stairs and moved all our Christmas boxes from the garage to the attic! Then they gave me back all but $5 of my tip. So these guys are handy, do manual labor, and give back money -- clearly I have nothing in common with them.
The big news in the last week is that Zoe is pregnant! Well, she isn’t really, but she doesn’t seem to know it. Apparently she is going through a false pregnancy and, as a result, she is mothering all her stuffed toys as if they were her newborn pups. (Thank you Filip for figuring this out!) As in the picture above, she is carrying these toys from room to room and surrounding herself with them - often grooming them. It’s actually really endearing. Well, except when she throws up from her false morning sickness.
We’re now shopping around for pet insurance, which is something we’ve been talking about ever since we got Kaylee. Anyone out there have pet insurance? Any recommendations?
On a final note, I had a dream the other night that I was being phone interviewed for some celebrity story on me. Half-way through the interview, I realized that they actually thought I was Charlie Sheen! Deciding not to correct them, I instead gave them the most intelligent and articulate interview I am sure Charlie Sheen has ever given.
