this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

And I remembered to get the can of air I forgot yesterday, which I needed to show ID to buy!

"I'm sorry, ma'am, but only people over 18 can use air. In fact, can you wait here for a moment? I see some adolescents in aisle 5 who are *clearly* engaged in Unauthorized Breathing."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The can of air says it "contains a bitterant to help discourage inhalant abuse." Of course that makes me want to huff it.

Luckily, I'm old enough to know better! And can prove it.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Many thanks for the birthday wishes on Isaac's behalf.

He's 4 today, Seska, as he's been proudly telling everyone all day.

I am putting any kind of party until after my classes end, so today is just cupcakes with family. Mmm, cupcakes.

AWWWWWWWW!

Had a toddler in the house who kept banging on different parts of the fence yelling "OPEN IT!" (where there was no gate) and a beautiful mellow infant who rolled over by herself for the first time at our house!

I gotta write to these folks to make sure they are reassured that we enjoyed having them all over. Since we don't have kids I think people think that we are put out by kid craziness.

OK, this is completely random, but may be of help to someone else, so: My cat has decided that nail-trimming is No Good, and goes to bite me when I try. He hasn't actually bitten me yet, but I kind of freak out when he puts his teeth on me. So I came up with an idea to arm myself -- I put on my denim jacket and leather gloves and picked up the trimmers. And he didn't even flinch when I cut all ten front claws! Possibly because I didn't care if he went to bite. So that was good.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

But he's house-trained, affectionate, and we're hoping he wouldn't eat the sofa.

Awww, cutie! That sounds nice. How big is he?

And given that you have not had a dog before, may I offer unsolicited advice? Crate-training is your friend. The crate isn't a prison, it's his own private little den where he can be safe, and peacefully confined when you are not home to supervise him. Also good for days when the cable guy or the housecleaner is coming.

I also highly recommend all family members attend basic dog-training, and even advanced basic dog-training, so everyone knows what the dog and the people are supposed to do. Dog-training is good socialization for the dog, and can be a lot of fun.
