Maybe this is why he’s been crying every waking minute. Big changes are upon us…. HE IS WALKING! RASCAL IS WALKING! Look at him go…!


Try not to look at the mess….


…I said, do not look at the MESS (which is like asking you , you know, not to think about PINK ELEPHANTS). Fine. LOOK at it. JUDGE me. WAHH! Love…. And, no, Rascal doesn’t always wear pajamas. This was taken post-bath. Check his gorj Robert-Redford coif (you should see it to the front — total Redford). I brushed it.

I know, it’s awesome! He’s walking! Eeee! Thank you, thank you, oh, kiss kiss! But, let’s not get TOO excited here — he IS 16+ months already, so it’s been a long time coming. As his sister would say, though, “HOORAY!” We are very excited.

Yeah, so, as I was saying, maybe this is why he’s been up all night and crying constantly. These are big changes for a little guy….

He loves kitties….


Hand!!!

As for me…. Ahem. Terrible Tuesday did not disappoint. It showed up in it’s finest, most terrible duds and kicked me in the arse all day long. I am exhausted. What’s worse, this is the first official Terrible Tuesday on my 21-day cleanse (because last Tuesday was Day 1, and Day 1 doesn’t count because Day 1′s of cleanses are always filled with hopes and excitement and caffeine-like adrenaline). So, I’ve been trudging from one place to another — as I always do, like a maniac, on Tuesdays — with not a drip of caffeine in my system. And, I know I said orange juice is a great substitute for caffeine, but it’s just not cutting it. I am exhausted in every way. And, I’m sure you’re getting sick of hearing that. But, I can’t remember the last time I slept through the night….

And, now, I give you, the Monkey’s favourite song: “BY YOUR SIDE,” by Yves Larock. Because, it’s cold outside. I mean, really really cold, and we’re all tired. So, c’mon Gorgeouses — get up, and show us your MOVES (don’t be shy). Oh, and, by the way? Monkey thinks the song’s about “when you fall off the bed and somebody helps you.” That’s ma girl! Check it!

It’s TOTALLY about falling off your bed. The Monkey was RIGHT!

A little BLOGGIE AWARD housekeeping: I’m getting emails from quite a few gorgeouses telling me they’re not getting the verification email when they vote for Cheaty Monkey for Best Canadian Blog. So, I thought I’d address it here. If you don’t get that email, then, nope, you haven’t voted. So, make sure you get it (check spam folder, too…) and click the link they give you to complete the voting process. If you don’t get the email, just try again later or send an email to nikolai[at]nolan[dot]net, and he’ll take care of it. Thanks. So much. For taking the time. I’m so honoured and touched. So faklempt.

Love….
