I just fell asleep for 2 hours. It was THAT COOKIE. I had a cookie for dessert, and it knocked me right out. That’s all, Gorgeouses. See you later.

That’s all I got.

That, and a cheaty little Monkey on one side of me and her brother on the other side. Why? Why did Josh-O do this to me? Why aren’t they in bed?

She’s sitting here cross-legged watching me type like she’s all entitled to be here. I DON’T THINK SO! Of course, the little monkey can’t read what I’m typing…. Still thinks she’s all entitled.

But, like, OMIGOSH, Gorgeouses! The monkey just pointed to the monkey! That’s right, this monkey:

And, she asked, “Is that me, Mama? Cheaty Monkey?” HA! See, SOCIETY? See, Mommy-Blog-finger-pointer-atters! SHE’S NOT TRAUMATIZED! Child-subject-of-mommy-blog knows blog is about her and IS NOT TRAUMATIZED. Actually LOVES it. Shocking much? Maybe there actually IS good in the world?

I’m going back to sleep. Mind you, Monkey’s not REALLY making that possible. Can YOU please come and put her to bed? She’ll listen to you.

Also, I got MINDEN. IN A BOOK. A Scholastic book on HOUSE CATS — thanks to editor-PAR-excellence, and DEAR OLD finally-soon-to-be-THIRTY (HA!) friend Ali (don’t worry, Alster, 30’s are DA BOMB — just look how coolio I am…errrm blerrm baglerrm….). I had to take tons of pictures of him, which, you know, I HATE to do. Here’s the one I hear they’re taking….

I, personally, like these two….

Ummm, Minden is getting more famous than moi, Gorgeouses. SO not fair. Sigh, looks are everything in this dang town….

Oy, NOW, that cheaty little bugger’s got my glass of water. But, she DID just say, “You’re the best EVER, Maaaama!” LOVE. Freaking FLATTERY is what it is. And, it will GET YOU NOWHERE, MONKEY. TO BED!

One last thing I got: Bermuda….

One of my oldest, best friends ERNA lives there with her man, and I got to see her today. We hung out for hours at her parents’ house with so much to talk about (while monkey played with LEGO and Rascal clung to my boooooobie FOR dear life). Can you imagine living in Bermuda? You should see how GORJ she looks: tanned, but not too tanned, and so relaxed. We’re taking a yoga class together tomorrow. Must remember to take picture of us so you can meet her….

At last, I got a bed to myself. The monkey’s finally in bed. After a broken glass and MUCH drama: “T-t-t-take th-th-the ph-ph-phone!” Someone’s afraid of the ph-ph-phone. Wha? Since wh-wh-wh-when?

Have I mentioned we’re having bedtime issues lately? Or, like, have you been noticing? Perhaps it’s obvious from the constant presence of the monkey in my posts lately?@#$@!!%?!
