I’d really like to win a Tempur-Pedic mattress from All Things Fadra, but you have to make a video to enter. And I’ve been trying to do it since yesterday, but I just can’t. It seems I have stage fright even when I’m sitting alone in my living room. The theme is “Why I Need a Good Night’s Sleep.” I think I’ll go take a nap; maybe that’ll help me gather my wits and nerves enough to enter. In the meantime, I think you should make a video and enter.

Flotsam / Jetsam

On worst-case scenarios, dentists and dishwashers

I am drawn to post-apocalyptic fiction like “Things We Didn’t See Coming.” I should stop reading it, though, because it makes me grind my teeth at night. I finished the book last night, and this morning I have a headache.

The powers that be at “Sesame Street” obviously want to get me to watch the show instead of using that precious hour for blogging. Case in point: Jason Bateman yesterday, Jude Law today. Well played, “Street” people. Keep it up and you’ll have my full attention for 45 seconds every day.

Poppy had a dentist appointment yesterday. When it was over, she said, “Mommy, I wish my dentist appointment wasn’t so quick.” #bestdentistever

Rockford did the grocery shopping for the week. As a result, we have nothing but cereal and pretzels for dinner. Still, that’s better than eating tree bark.

Two things I enjoy: Pete’s insistence on “the biggest hug” first thing in the morning; the face Poppy makes when she has an itch in an awkward place, such as the bottom of her foot.

This reminds me that I need to put my Search for the World’s Best Carrot Cake list in the sidebar. Also, that I have yet to make a delicious carrot cake. Not for lack of trying.

Two things I do not enjoy: Headaches that are impervious to Excedrin; unloading the dishwasher, which is what I’m off to do right now.
