Aiieee…so busy! So very busy that I volunteered to go on Gus’s field trip to go ice skating tomorrow, only to remember JUST after I said I’d go that ice skating with 80 (eighty!) 5 yr olds would probably not be quite as much fun as ice skating with one 5 yr old. Oh well, it’s supposed to be negative 4 zillion degrees tomorrow with 9 jillion degree wind chill, so maybe it will be cancelled.<\/p>\n

Two quick things:<\/p>\n

1. As you know, I am clothesline-obsessed<\/a>. What could be more fun than these Camper clothesline shoes???
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

Frankly, I am also kind of obsessed with Camper shoes. They are ridiculously expensive, but very fun in a casual browsing online way. I did get a pair from ebay for cheap, some nice basic black flats. But my alternate rich self who’s not nearly so clumsy would love these crazy math dominatrix heels. And my alternate rich self who has more fun clothes would look fabulous in some smurfy blue flats.<\/p>\n

2. For a few days there we thought that Apple the mealworm<\/a> was a goner, since we hadn’t seen him move for a while. Luckily Gus is too obsessed with his new video game<\/a> to track Apple’s activity as closely as he used to. We were just getting ready to book Apple passage on the toilet funeral barge when we took a closer look in the bug jar today and, lo and behold, Apple has entered the pupal stage!<\/p>\n

You know, Apple as a mealworm was really not so bad. We got used to his wiggly segmented body and six freaky little legs. But Apple as a pupa, not so much. The pupal stage of the darkling beetle<\/a> is much more primal yucky bug-type stuff. I’m making a yucky face right now even typing it — click on the link at your own risk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
