Tickle Time!

Tickle time is, perhaps, one of the most important parts of our day. It happens at no particular time, every single day. Usually whenever the super hero is least expecting it, but on occasion, he asks for it.

Whatever the case, we always have a blast.

Hope you enjoy the rest of your day! 

Useless Rant About Toy Packaging

I often wonder to myself why toy packaging is so difficult to get through…

Is toy theft really that bad?

When I was a little girl, all you had to do was peel back the cardboard from the plastic front, or just pull the top of a box open, pour out the contents, and play.

Today my little one and I went perusing at our local toy store. We left with a Power Rangers Megazord, and a transforming Optimus Prime truck. It seems like it gets more and more difficult, and unnecessarily complicated to get these things out of the packaging.

I could barely get my little scissors in to snip the Megazord free. And the truck…

oh my goodness…

hmmmmm….twist and pull?

Too bad I didn’t see that until the damage was done. But in my opinion, if you need directions to instruct people how to open your packaging, it obviously isn’t as intuitive as it ought to be.

Who the heck wants to fiddle with the packaging anyway?!

OK. Rant completed. I’m going to go play now, and you should do the same.

Bye now!

My Clean, Shedding Dog

I hate the smell of wet dog…well, except for this one.

But then, that’s only after she’s had a good bath. I don’t typically use dog specific shampoos on the the Destroyer beeeee-caaaaaaause,

1. I don’t like the way they make her smell afterward.
2. She seems to be itchier after I a bath with a regular dog shampoo, than she is after I use the Aveda volumizing shampoo.
3. Dog shampoo doesn’t make her coat as fluffy, shiny, bouncy, or soft.
4. She smells less like dog for a longer period of time.

So far, the Aveda is the only people shampoo that I’ve used on her, but it works well for her. I have a nearly full bottle to use up that didn’t quite work for me.

I usually blow her completely dry once out of the tub, then comb her out so that she’s a big bouncing ball of blonde fluffiness. But it’s been so hot here lately, air drying is almost as quick, and less of a energy drain. And she’s been shedding so much,

getting her coat to fluff just results in frustration and a massive mess all over the floor,and everything else.

I need to vacuum. 

Talk to you in the next one!
