Rebecca ain't quite as dumb as she seems.
Aug. 9th, 2009 02:08 pmI woke up at 5:30 yesterday morning to take Sara to the airport. She's on vacation this week, visiting Mom in North Carolina. She had said that she would set her alarm for five, but when mine when off at 5:30, she was still sleeping and probably would've missed her flight if I hadn't woken her up. Anyway, I went back to bed around seven and woke back up at noon to go to work.
I worked a close last night, something I haven't done in a while. Our store closes at nine, and we're usually out by 9:15, but the back-to-school season is our Christmas, so last night we weren't done until about 10:30. But I'm not closing at all this week, so I can't complain. School supplies have changed a lot since my day. On a lot of school supply lists now teachers specify everything - size, brand, color, amount, etc. I lost count of how many moms finally said, "Well, if your teacher wants you to have this, she can go out and find it for you."
Tired as I was when I got home, I stayed really late and then got up early this morning because Sable was whining to go out. I figured as long as I was walking him, I might as well give him his flea powder and fish oil. Then I figured as long as I was doing that, I might as well brush him. And by then I was so wide awake that I couldn't go back to bed, so I made a YouTube video instead. I like to make them when the ideas are still fresh in my mind.
We have a box of yellow cake mix in the cabinet that has, alarming, learned to speak French. "Rebecca, mange-moi, mange-moi!" I have been looking for an excuse to bake it, and I think August 15 is as good as any. (See The Secret Life of Bees for explanation.) That's also the day that Sara comes home from North Carolina, so it can be a welcome back present for her.
Oh yeah, and Sara's store carries a kids book about the human body that comes with a life-size replica of a human tongue. Sara, for some reason that only she knows, cut the tongue out of one of the books and brought it home; now it's sitting on our coffee table. It really looks and feels like a real tongue. It creeps me out to look at it, so I put a magazine on top of it.
Things to do today: go to the library, go grocery shopping, do my laundry.
