Wyoming Update

Two weeks from today I am busting out of Wyoming.

Then I just have to survive 24 hours of driving with the world's most annoying dog, a tenacious 2 year old and a sister who requires cigarette breaks every 45 minutes. Should be fun.

Things I Saw at the Library

Not at all nightmare inducing Humpty Dumpty 

A slightly less racist version of Little Black Sambo the most racist children's book ever. 

I know this because my Mother owns the original book and let me read it as a child. 

Here's the equally racist cartoon version. 

And finally I saw a serial killer van. 

I have seen an abundance of these rapist-mobiles at the Library. Vehicles that are clearly lived in, full of PBR, 20 years worth of  TV Guides, and a bare soiled mattress. What is it about the library that attracts all manner of vagrant and outlier? 

Video Series 1

This baby is taking things to a whole new level. Next thing you know she's going to expand into performance art and start throwing tantrums in Wal-Mart to protest the tyranny of the Wiggle breakup. 

Deep. 

Boxed In

I believe I mentioned that I will be moving in due course. Well the packing has started and as you can see we are packing against the sliding glass door. Otherwise known as the primary source of natural light inside this apartment. 

Now I'm not one for claustrophobia, I slumber in a closet, but the increasing number of boxes piling up against the walls does feel rather cloying. But the glimmer at the end of the tunnel, leaving Wyoming forever, keeps me steadfast. 

Evil Aunt Anneke

Did I make this video specifically to embarrass my niece when she's older? 

No. 

I made this video to embarrass her when she's older. 

Incidentally this child screamed bloody murder the entire time I dressed her, brushed her hair and her teeth. The crying actually made it easier to reach the all the way to the back and get those gums gleaming. 

Silver lining. 

Pump You Up!

When the BABY isn't crying, disrobing, or causing a ruckus, she gets pumped for the day's events.

Brushing her teeth

Saying her ABC's 

Preparing for chicken nuggets. 

Leaving Neverland

I cannot overstate the importance of this event. I got the urge to cook. Food. Me! 

Pizza is on my food pyramid! And I added extra vegetables to the meatballs. What's happening to me? 

Oh God, am I growing up? A year ago the only meal I could make was toast. This is a big leap forward for me. Goodbye Homo Habilis, hello Homo Sapien!
