Some Things I'm still Trying to Understand

1. How women perfectly manicure their eye makeup.

I put mine on, and in second, it’s smeared, smudged, and all over the place- both my bathroom and otherwise.

I like to imagine that these women with perfect lids – both on TV and in person- have hired personal make-up artists who follow them around and correct any imperfections.

2. City Stickers.

 $75 now, or $100 ticket, $60 late fee, and $75 later. 

I won't make that mistake again. 

It just sucks that I have to pay to park in my own garage. 

3. How my baby can be so sweet.

Each day he does something that amazes me.  Yesterday he kissed his favorite characters and hugged the iPad during the song “Hug.” ..... He fed my brother in law blueberries, making subtle “mmmmm,” noises, and then ran around giggling when I was chasing him playing tag.  He walked down the block with me to get dinner, holding one finger so fiercely, I smiled the whole way. 

This baby is the coolest baby ever. 

4. How laundry is created so quickly.

Keith and I used to have to do laundry only once every two weeks or so.

Now, every few days, there is some milk stained, baby filth-covered, mess to deal with.  The laundry is insurmountable sometimes.

5. Sloths.

They are amazingly weird, yet great.  They look like they could murder you many times over, but move so slow, they seem harmless at the same time.  See this picture.  Yeah. Point for the sloths.
