Flippy’s Helpful Hints

When you’re unwrapping a pumice stone to get hard water deposits off the pool tile, do it carefully.  Maybe use scissors, because if you slip and rub, say, your thumb knuckle quickly across the pumice - it hurts.  A lot.  Plus, it shreds a couple of layers of skin.  Remember, I do these things so I can teach all of you the proper way, after I’ve found the bandages.

You don’t have to…in Canada.  Or Spain.  Or Belgium.  Or Denmark.  Or The Netherlands.  Or the United Kingdom.  Or Slovenia.  Or the Czech Republic.  Or New Zealand.

Mmmmm, nuts

We have Amazon.com gift certificates and wanted to order some PureFit bars (they’re delicious!) and with a $49 order, you get $10 off.  I needed to add something smallish to go with the PureFit bars (did I say how delicious they are?  Peanut Butter Crunch is the best!), so I added a box of snack-sized pistachios.  They came in a box with this sticker on top.  I couldn’t resist trying it on.  And the shirt was just a happy nutty coincidence. 

In other news, we picked Phoenix up after her surgery.  She had some ingrown eyelashes frozen off…or something like that.  Anyway, she’s had them her whole life (we’ve known about them less than a year) and we finally had enough Care Credit (12 months/no interest/no worries/no problem/no ingrown eyelashes) to get them taken care of.  Her eyes look kinda nasty, so of course, I had to take a picture.  She let me know exactly how she felt about it.  Mostly she wanted to gulp down water and was annoyed when I replaced the water bowl with a bowl of ice cubes.  I’m the meanest mom in the whole universe.  Anyway, I hope she’s feeling better soon.  Her eyes look icky *and* she needs two different kinds of drops in them (five minutes apart), six times a day.  So, for the next two weeks, if you see me, I’ll be the one wielding the tiny bottles of eyedrops.

Nooooooooooooooooooo!

I don’t suppose anyone is asking my opinion?

I’ve Got It!

The mommyblogger who said she was more popular than Dooce?  That arrogant braggart, Arianna Huffington.  Although it’s true, she is, and she’s my homepage.

Leigh-Ann’s guess?  The Beatles.  She went all medieval pop culture on my ass.
