Ladies, It's All About the Accessories

Sometimes...



your jammies just need a little flair.

Things I'm Tired of Saying This Week

1) "Use an inside voice."

2) "Chuggachuggachuggachugga...Choo! Choo!"

3) "Keep your hands and feet to yourself at the table."

4) "It's an apatosaurus. No, brachiosaurus. Diplodocus? Check your book."

5) "For the love of all that is Holy, USE AN INSIDE VOICE!!" (keyboard yelling indicates actual yelling)

That is all.

Arctic Desert

As if sub zero weather wasn't enjoyable enough, we also have the pleasure of ridiculously low humidity here in interior Alaska. Humidity so low, our snow doesn't pack well enough to make a snowball, much less a snowman. So low, that even petting the cat can produce blue shocks of static electricity. The worst victim of the perpetual dryness is our skin. I just noticed this morning my littlest guy Evan (who will be two in two weeks, sniff!), has dry skin patches on his right arm that have graduated from scaly to red and inflamed. I've been putting a generic Eucerin-type lotion on him regularly, but I guess it's not doing the trick anymore. Maybe I'll have to consider just dipping the poor kid in olive oil.
