Hey! What's up? Are you guys still talking to me despite your raging jealousy over my four days of alone time? Well, don't worry, it's back to Standard Levels of Life Enjoyment this week. Adjusted for torrential downpour precluding 90 degree temps, times high likelihood of 90 degree temps later in the week (of OCTOBER 15TH!), divided by availability of Chocolate Mint coffee creamer, times the square root of large wet dogs having run of house for 12 hours.
BR and AD had a reasonably good time in Red Sox Nation. Despite his claims on days one and two that "This is not a vacation" (ed: DUH. We have a toddler. There is no vacation, there is only ZUEL), she warmed up considerably by days three and four. There was apple picking! And pumpkin patching! Just like they do in AMERICA, not fucking Bahrain, or wherever it is that we live.
I spent the day with her yesterday so BR could sleep it off, and people, I was RUSTY. I was like, what do you MEAN I have to lift you onto the slide over and over and then help you get down? Can't I just be over here reading a magazine and drinking a daiquiri (weather appropriate! No, I won't stop, so fuck off!)? I need to change your diapers periodically too? THIS IS BULLSHIT!
Of course, she scored some awesome new fall clothes and even "helped" make an apple pie. Also, she has a new word: QUACK. Oh my baby! I can't believe I missed that! I'm never leaving her again! *SNORT* *EYE ROLL*.
Hope you all had a good weekend. And if I commented on your blog, there was probably wine involved, so...grain of salt and all that.

First comment - OMG THE PRESSURE!
Did you see that it's going to be 90 on Thursday? Whatthefuckever, Texas. I am so over you.
I wanted to take Maddie to Ownen's Farm over in Richardson, but I cannot possibly get into the pumpkin patchy frame of mind when I'm sweating.
I'm glad BR and AD got home safely. I'm sure they missed you. Well, I'm sure AD missed you, at any rate.
Um, that should be "Owen's Farm." Sorry.
Please note that if it's after 5pm EDT from now until post-wedding (and maybe after. We'll see.), there will be wine involved in just about everything I do. So we are Even Steven.
Happy Daiquiri drinking. I say if it's 90 degrees, drink whatever the heck you want. Hope monday is treating you alright.
Quack is such a cute word. I had no idea. Did she learn it on a duck tour? Or was it not the Boston proper part of Red Sox Nation?
It's still that hot down there? Oh man, I would be talking about that and nothing else if I were you. Hey, but aleast weather like that makes daquiri drinking entirely appropriate!
And quack? In what context does she say it? Did she meet some ducks and maybe read a certain book?
Awww... she learned a new word on her little vacation. So cute.
That's crazy weather there. We were still pretty warm here until about a week ago, and now we're in prime pumpkin patch season.
Jess-It wasn't Boston proper, another section of The Nation. I've always wanted to do one of those Duck Tours, though!
Flibberty-Dude, I am trying not to THINK about it. I am seriously about to cry. It is horrible.
The quack thing is from seeing/feeding ducks. She is at that stage where whenever we see an animal we get all up in her grill like WHAT DOES THE DUCK SAY? WHAT DOES HE SAY? QUACK! QUACK QUACK QUACK!
Don't ever take your civil liberties for granted: fight the fight to have a daiquiri whenever you so choose!
Quack - TOO CUTE. AD almost -- almost -- makes me reconsider my decision not to have any monkeys.
Ha, the rustiness of it! Cute. And, Quack!
Good to have you back. I was going through withdrawls.
Dude, daiquiris are an all-season drink. Forget cider.
I'm thinking some duck-themed gifts are in order, a rubber duckie at the very least.
We're back to 90 this week, too. WTF? Pumpkins don't like heat and humidity, why won't it just GO AWAY?? Good luck finding more than three days for AD to wear the new fall clothes she scored.
Hello! I did some catch up reading and how fun for you that you had a vacation. I am so in need of one of those. I love that AD kissed the phone. So sweet. *sigh*
Can ya'll send some heat up here because we're freezing our wet asses off over here today.
Did the doggies get to go to the park? :)
Ha! We do the same thing at our house too re: There is no dinner, only Zule. Getting back in the saddle is always tough.
Wow. It sucks to live in Texas in the fall, winter, and summer...oh. Spring is tolerable.
So...fill us in! What exactly did you DO during your free time?
Me Today-Good to see you! Sigh. Of course they didn't get to go to the park. Weather was crap. Plus, I suck.
Katie-I saw a movie, went out to eat once, caught up on the DVR, and made lasagna and muffins. Overall, pretty impressive for a lazy lump like me!
90 degrees in October? Insanity. I would melt and die.
