Also, FT(hilarious)R: N has officially exhausted not only Loki, but Pumpkin too. She's a lot like my neighbor's daughter G, with a strong streak of
Love them and hug them and call them George
Elmira. I had to tell N to leave Pumpkin alone in my NannyVoice, and she confessed indignantly to her mom later that "I don't want to hurt Aunt Sara's feelings but she's just like YOU!"
Pumpkin is a little more wary about N, but no moreso than Loki was initially (G initiated him.)
We'll have to keep on that. OTOH, when N was reading her kindle tonight next to her mom on the futon, Devi (the infamous invisible-hidey-hates-strangers-bitey-when-she-likes-them cat) hopped up between them and took a nap. She's just given up and maybe figures her rep precedes her?
I know Dev has gotten more tolerant of the people, but that was rather shocking. N did know her rep, though, so gave her a wide berth.
Just got back from seeing the touring company of Mamma Mia!. It was a fun show, and Chloe Tucker was a better Sophie than Amanda Seyfried was in the movie. (Though unfortunately Christian Whelan didn't sing any better than Pierce Brosnan, and also looked and acted like an angry Ed Begley Jr.—which made it very difficult to root for his character to reconcile with Donna...)
I took advantage of being on Atkins to eat a guilt-free rack of ribs with no veggies at the Rendezvous afterward. Still the best BBQ ribs in the world!
Timelies all!
Got all my errands done yesterday, minus watching my Netflix disk. Turns out the disk had a long crack/scratch on it, so it wouldn't play. Notified Netflix, and will send it back. Ah, first world problems...

ah ha ha! That is exactly how Franny is with our cat Folly! She carries Folly around the house snuggling her to within an inch of her life.
That video of the toddler in the petting zoo hugging the goats was so funny, because you can just imagine how much time his parents have spent training him to be gentle with dogs!
OMG, the dryer still doesn't work! Despite what a neighbor told me last week. Next week, seriously remind me to go to the laundromat.
I got up to watch tennis, and there's a rain delay. What the hell, France.
~ma for your cousin, Matt. Hope she recovers quickly.
Nice use of posting makes it happen, Dana! Also, thanks for reminding me I wanted to watch tennis today.
