I pondered doing video takes like I did last year<\/a> but I’m dealing with cold\/allergies\/asthma exacerbation so I’m feeling like I want to just go with the flow this year and do normal takes.<\/p>\n <\/a>— 2 —<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Plans for my natal feast.<\/strong> I’m headed to Anacortes with a friend tomorrow who wants to show me some of their favorite places and we have my evil twin and his long-suffering wife coming to dinner on Saturday night. My BFF Rebecca’s present arrived today ($tarbux<\/a> — she knows me well \ud83d\ude42 ) and I have the promise of gift cards to Old Navy<\/a> and Kohl’s<\/a> from my parents so I can start rebuilding my professional wardrobe.<\/p>\n <\/a>— 3 —<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n I love my family.<\/strong> I shared this article<\/a> to my evil twin’s wall:<\/p>\n The following discussion resulted (thus far):<\/p>\n I can just see my sister-in-law’s eyes rolling now!<\/p>\n <\/a>— 4 —<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Danielism #1.<\/strong> When he’s in time-out and he wants to get up, he’ll say “Sorry. Up?” to me. It’s adorable… and doesn’t work unless it’s time for him to get up.<\/p>\n <\/a>— 5 —<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Danielism #2.<\/strong> When I told him that it was time for his evening meds, he raced downstairs ahead of me. When I got to the kitchen, he handed me his peanut butter jar and a spoon and said, “Pee boah meds shower.” (Translation: “peanut butter, meds, shower”.) It’s the order of the starting things for his bedtime routine so it was nice to hear him tell me that part of his schedule.<\/p>\n <\/a>— 6 —<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Because cute.<\/strong> Usually, after he gets his shower, he goes and hangs out with my mom while she watches The Big Bang Theory<\/a> so I can have my shower and not have to worry about him doing things like putting kitty litter in the bleach dispenser of the washer or climbing on the roof. Anyway, I ended up taking my shower early last Friday (before he got home from school) so I was just sitting in my room listening for him when I heard him heading toward my mom’s room. Then it got quiet. About 15 minutes later, he came to my room and told me he wanted milk. As I was walking downstairs past my mom’s room, I saw his tablet and two of his blankies on her bed. Apparently, he automatically took everything in there after his shower because that’s what he does (almost) every day and it was time. Mom was in heaven because apparently, he was being extra cuddly that night.<\/p>\n <\/a>— 7 —<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n You know you might be an Accounting geek when…<\/strong> I’m going to be getting my laundry and folding it after I get this up. My bribe for doing that: getting to do my Accounting homework!<\/p>\n Yes, I am a geek. I embrace this.<\/p>\n For more Quick Takes, visit Kelly at This Ain’t The Lyceum<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" — 1 — Birthday girl. So tomorrow is my 37th birthday.
