Current Obsessions – Mother and Baby Edition

My current obsessions:

• Gourmet jelly beans, and avoiding the coffee flavoured ones.
• My thighs – and the increasing space in between them for the first time in my life. Woot!
• How to take better pictures with our little camera.
• Whether we should take a vacation during 2010 and rent out our place – I am seeing some going for $3000 a week! That’s more than I made when I was working full time! 
• Dancing With the Stars, which I am embarrassed about a little bit, but not that much because that’s just who I have become so whatever.
• Playing “How Much Is It Worth” in my neighbourhood and checking out www.mls.ca to see if what I think a house is listed at is what it’s listed at.

Kale’s current obsessions:

• Sadly, still the Ziplocs. I’ve had to resort to putting all the little ones in a big Ziploc to prevent the confetti-like strewing about of plastic bags that we eventually use to transport or store food.

• Going outside. Regardless of whether we are wearing pants, shoes… or any clothes for that matter.
• Touching Mooki, whether Mooki wants to be touched or not. 
• Bailing into things, thus resulting in scabby noses.

From Kale 9-12 months

• Putting stuff into stuff. Like:  balls into containers, or blocks into boxes, or suckies into tupperware.
• Clapping hands together, high fiving, and waving. Sometimes at the wrong time but usually at the right time. 
• Saying “goyzagoyzagoyzagoyzagoyza” (having expanded from “goygoygoygoy”) when sleepy.
• Still, dog dishes. Gah. I need to install a force field around them.
