* Shows like Scandal shouldn't be allowed to take breaks. Even a one week hiatus is too much to deal with. Hurry up, Thursday!!! The fan base can only go so long without the Olivia Pope runway show. Whatever will she wear this week? (I promise I follow the storyline too.)
* In other TV news, I'm a LITTLE interested in the Amazing Race this season because of the blind date aspect of it. Imagine if one of the couples actually falls in love?! Imagine if ALL FIVE OF THEM do?! Ha. I'm a dreamer.
* Phil only has two weeks left in basketball this year. Playoffs are next week, as is the international tournament which (thankfully!) takes place in Kuwait this year! GO FALCONS GO!
* Nory has started to say "watch this mama!" and "watch this daddy!" and it is so, so adorable. Sometimes she's bouncing a ball. Sometimes she's building a lego tower. Sometimes we have no idea WHAT she's doing. In every instance, it's really cute.
* I bought six second-hand summer dresses for Nory at a bargain price!!! These will make getting her dressed ten times easier as the weather warms up. Or at least I hope it does. In the back of my mind, I see her protesting the lack of cats on the dresses. Right now, everything is "cat shirt, cat pants, cat dress, cat undies...." If this is the case, I will have to resort to our book of cat stickers. But NORY, it's a MAKE-YOUR-OWN-CAT-DRESS!!!!!!!!! I wonder if she'll buy it. As for #thedress, it was white and gold. Unless you ask Phil.
* I really can't wait to get home this summer. Our school is starting to book flights this week and I am going to make the biggest CANADA-MEETS-JET countdown ever. I also might need to re-vamp our air travel routine to account for the extra little bundle. Flying home with two wee ones is terrifying me in this moment and maybe....always? I see the food tray rolling towards me and break out in a sweat. Phil and I have some strategizing to do ;)
* I think we've revolutionized the ice cream sundae in our house. The addition of Reese's peanut butter chips will blow your mind. SERIOUSLY.
* "Special Tubbys" are all the rage right now. Nory's been having at least two baths a day that have been made special with the addition of colourful bath bombs. You experienced mamas never told me how much time I'd spend on the bathroom floor post-morning-sickness. Or is it only my child that's happy as a clam living life as a prune?!
* Are you a card person? Valentines Day cards, Christmas cards, thank you cards, etc.? I happen to be and I've been called old-fashioned for being this way. Is the tradition of card-writing really becoming less and less of a thing? If so, I'm bummed about it. CARD-WRITERS UNITE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let's work together to keep the idea alive and well!
* Does anyone know how I can post videos to the blog without losing the quality of them? I have no idea and even with some Googling on my own, I'm lost :$ HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!
* I did my first ever YouTube workout yesterday. Twenty five minutes on the stepper and nine minutes of arm exercises and I'm feeling it this morning. Who knew the tiny lady on my computer screen could get my blood pumping as well as the real deal?! I might try a new video while Jet and Nory nap today. On good days, they nap at the same time!!! FINGERS CROSSED! As a side note, I saw a student the other day who looked at my stomach and remarked, "Miss, you're having ANOTHER BABY?!!!!!!!" Turns out my workouts haven't been as intense as they need to be. Sigh.
* The stack of clothes that no longer fit Juliet is getting overwhelmingly large. I'm not a fan. Where did that itty bitty 4-pounder go? I wonder if she'll be built like Nory or take on a physique of her own....
