Enumerated Update

William George and I have had our usual "fun Friday," although George has had one of those days where nothing could go right. He had been looking forward to wearing his Snoopy costume. However, he kept taking it on/off, and the inner lining ripped. I found him crumpled in the floor, crying and holding the costume. He was quite distraught until I reminded him he could wear the Woodstock costume instead. (Grammie indulged him at Halloween and purchased both.) Well... the Woodstock must have been a snug fit because he resorted to various pretzel contortions to get it on, and then became stuck in the costume. He was inconsolable until I reminded him that his new soccer uniform-like outfit (thanks, Gran!) was in the dryer, but then everything broke down again when only the shirt had made it through the laundry. The shorts are temporarily missing.

Fun Friday was quickly devolving, and the only thing that would help is a new series of Little Einsteins. So while the theme song plays in the background, here is where we are:

1) Unthought Known: We have had this song on constant rotation this week, and George has given it some of his highest praise, i.e., "That's a good one, momma." The girls were resistant until I pointed out the piano portion, and then they were able to appreciate it. I have no idea what the song is about, and the video proffers no explanation.

2) Bad Titles: My only quibble with the above song is the title. The title doesn't seem connected to the song at all, and I am not a fan of gimmicks. Plus, the part of me that occasionally reads things backward, gets a headache when the title pops up on my device. I literally can feel my eyes cross... can you?  Ugh.

3) House of Cards: The only way we managed to recover from he conclusion of Downton Abbey is by watching season four of House of Cards. This season is much better than last, unless you happen to be Lucas Goodwin. Yikes, he's not doing well.

Are you watching?

4) Sworkit: Have you heard of Sworkit? Skip has been utilizing this app for a couple of weeks, and I am about to try it as well. I have been focused on the treadmill lately, and need to incorporate strength training and stretching. I'm trying to stay nimble in my older age.

Also, I am reading about the benefits of the rebounder everywhere. We have one in the attic, and I am considering getting it out for use. Do you remember rebounders? I used one on the daily during my teenage years.

5) Spring: It seems that spring is in full swing, and listen, everyone likes spring. Spring is baby chicks and lambs, and who wouldn't like those things? It's not that I don't like spring... I just happen to like winter and holly and snow and scarves and sweaters and mittens. While I don't begrudge anyone their spring, I am bitter about the lack of winter. I do like spring... except I cannot wear pastels, and spring tends to immediately push us into 90 degree weather, where scarves and sweaters cannot be worn. My only concession/acknowledgement is a transition to spring nail color.

In conclusion, happy spring, friends!

Have a wonderful weekend!
