Adult yet Kid


I came home after watching a wee one. It went well, I just got very, very tried. Before I went to bed I wanted a little night cap. 

I also apparently was still having some little kid moments still because I wanted to drink out of a straw. 

I don't actually recommend this because the beer goes straight to your head. But it was still fun.

Capresun will always taste like childhood, bendy straw or not. 

Anyone else have a night like this? If so, please let me know what you did with a comment below.

Stove


My dog Teach is both beautiful and annoying like the sound of sharpening knives. He, like some little kids I know, can put things in places they shouldn't be forget about them for hours to days and then come back to them later and look at you like an idiot for not knowing what it is they seek.

Teach, does this for things under the bed, love seat, couch, coffee table and other random places. For the last two.days it has been him clawing at the stove drawer.

Like, really?

Well, tired of his clawing at something in vain I went to investigate what it was. I found this mess under my stove AND he ate a random tater-round. So problem solved?

No, more like a warning to.others where dirt and tater-round and stuff can collect.

Honestly, I had no idea that things collected under stoves. What other places do I not know? What other scary locations should I be either seeking out to clean or avoid? 

Let me know your suggestions with a comment below. Thanks!

Steam Action


This is my humidifier. I haven't found the motivation yet to go and purchase a real one yet.  

My hair is suffering, my dog is staticy, and according to some articles I read yesterday, it can help keep the heat in my house a little bit better. 

While I was cooking I set up a big pot of water. I had it on a hard boil but it was just pushing the steam all over my ceiling and cabinet. With a little thought process and some aluminum foil, problem solved!

Before, when I didn't have a dog, I use to leave pans and cups of water on my baseboard heat. I felt this helped a little bit. However, I have no trust in Teach not to knock them on the floor. Better staticy than ruined hardwood floors right?

Anyone have a suggestion on a type of humidifier I should use? Please let me know with a comment below. As always thanks!
