What’s my favourite time of day, you ask? Dusk. When the sun starts its colourful descent. The weather is PERF! And…the hubby is HOME. HE can carry the lazy monkey. HE can entertain her while I make dinner. HE actually LISTENS when I speak. (Toddlers are NOT good listeners, I’m learning — they’re too busy…too busy and too cheaty).

The best part about dusk is when the hubby’s home early enough to go for a walk with the monkey and me. Usually to the park. Where there are SWINGS. The monkey ADORES the swing.

How do you like the monkey’s hippo shirt? My dad picked it out. It’s from South Africa. Is it not FAB!?? (Ahem…it’s called “mommy-REALLY-needs-to-do-monkey’s-laundry”)…. Those are NOT my hairy arms, by the way, or my hands, or my feet. Just FYI.

So, Josh-O came home early enough for us to go for a nice walk to the park, and to swing on the swings and slide down the slide. We ALL had a GREAT time. It was an unexpected treat! Spontaneous. Happy. The best.

Oh, that bike up there? Cute…. But, a pain in the ARSE — because there’s no back handle. Poor Josh had to bend right over so the monkey could ride it. He ended up taking the bike home halfway through the walk. Hee, told him so!

When we got home, I put dinner on the table for the three of us. AKA, I ACTUALLY COOKED. Check it:

That’s me cooking!

…Well, I’m not in the pics because I’m, like, totally in hiding right now. That is, until I get used to being so preggo-puffy….AND, until I do this PHOTO SHOOT I’m scheduled to do on SATURDAY — it’s for a NEW WRITING GIG. My picture WILL BE ON TV. FREAKING YIKES! I’ll keep you posted on the new gig and stardom…!

You MUST try this dressing. It’s LIQUID GOLD, I tell you! Trust me. You trust me, right? And, the monkey LOVED IT! She ate SALAD! My picky little monkey actually ATE HER DINNER, PEOPLE….

Check it again!? See: FOOD IN MOUTH!!!???!!! Hee…. Little did she know she was eating loads of BROCCOLI! BWAHAHAHAHAAAA!

Isn’t dusk the best? Toddlers eating their dinners, complete with BROCCOLI, is also the best. LOVE!

I signed the monkey up for a preschool that I haven’t been feeling so good about. See, there’s no security on the door, it’s dingy, the toys are old, and the teacher is disorganized and doesn’t return phone calls. Why’d I sign her up? Because my friends are sending their kids there. But, that’s not a good reason, I’ve come to realize ($300 nonrefundable deposit later). So, tomorrow, I’m looking into a new school. And, I’m so excited! The monkey and I are going on a tour first thing in the morning. Loving it.

Gosh, WHAT SHOULD I WEAR FOR MY PHOTO SHOOT!?! All black, I’m thinking…. Black is slimming on TV, right?

I love kitties.
