Jungle Fever

and no it's not what you are thinking...

A little air time

I love to give Dylan naked time, and he's been enjoying more and more of it as it's been getting warmer.  You have to be smart when your child gets said naked time. Make sure it's strategically planned after any bathroom breaks. He has had a few mistakes, but nothing a little resolve won't clean up. Thankfully, he's only peed. I mean who wants to spend 24/7 in a diaper. 

so fresh and so clean

While organizing Dylan's closet, I took a container off the shelf that had lots of free samples you receive in the mail when pregnant. You know, all those companies that try to win you over with free samples. I obviously wasn't won over since I still have them and Dylan is almost 11 months old. I digress. Dylan was pulling out every single one of the samples. He was having so much fun as you can imagine. He started walking around his bedroom with a sample in each hand.  I just happen to look over at him, and he is making the funniest face. I look, he has a bar of soap in his hand. He had taken a bite of it. I could see the soap shavings just sitting on his teeth as he shook his head and made a "what is this" look. I started laughing, I couldn't help it. Then he started laughing. I got a burp cloth and tried to dig the soap out of his mouth. It was too cute. 

Why I hate Bl@ckbuster

Bl@ckbuster seems to be the go to spot when you want to rent a movie. However, that's not the case for me. About 4 years ago, we rented a movie from bl@ckbuster and took it over a friends house to watch. On the way home, we returned the movie. I know for a fact that the DVD was in the case, as I checked before we left their house. However, we somehow managed to get charged for the DVD as they said it wasn't in the case. Are you kidding me? I checked the case, and I checked the car to make sure it didn't somehow magically slip through the seemingly small crack in the case. NO DICE. UGH! Needless to say, we purchased Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Trust me, if I was going to keep a movie, it wouldn't be this one. After that I vowed not to rent a movie from this dishonest store, and I held out for a long time. I may have rented 1 or 2 movies in the past 4 years. Instead, I have been hitting up the $1 rental machine at Publix. Can I get a whoop whoop? What's not to love about renting a movie for $1. Well, a few weeks ago, Damien wanted a blu ray video to watch, so he didn't go to the $1 rental as they don't have blu ray. He rented Prince Caspian on a Saturday. It was a 5 day rental due back by Thursday. 

Today, Damien came home from renting a movie (not a blu ray and not from the $1 machine...he needs more how to be frugal training) and asked when I returned the last movie as there was a late fee. I said, I returned it on my way to bible study on Wednesday. Then I proceeded to say, this is why I hate bl@ckbuster. He said, that's the problem, it wasn't bl@ckbuster. It was M@vie Gallery. Ok, so I take the blame on not getting that right. However, get this....it was due on the 26th, I returned it to blockbuster on the 25th. Blockbuster didn't return it to movie gallery until March 9th. Are you kidding me? It's not that far away and it takes you 12 days to return it. Can you help a sister out? Needless to say we rented a movie for $20 vs $1. I mean it's not like the m@vie gallery is 20 minutes away...it's like 4 minutes at most. It's like they were saying, well since you didn't rent from us, we'll get you my pretty and your little dog too. I vow never to rent from bl@ckbuster ever!!! Sorry Krista, I just can't stoop to this location's deceptive ways. Z's store is probably different.

Doodle Bug

As many of you know, I won a canvas two weeks ago, doodled by Sara (Gitz) herself, that proudly hangs in my breakfast nook. She is a fabulous doodler, so great that she does it in her sleep sometimes, seriously. Anyway, she is now selling her work. Check it out. Oh, and she is still doing her Hump Day Giveaway for a limited time, and if we get the kinks worked out, you may be able to enter a donation raffle that you could enter to win one of your own and support my upcoming Malawi trip.
