Quarantine Day 5

Hey Everyone!! How are you? It's been a while. I thought Return of Domestic Nemesis Part 16 (I don't know, have I quit that many times?) would lift our spirits. 

 I made mini blueberry muffins today! They went pretty well, considering we have this newfangled weighing thing which I used because they use it on the Great British Baking Show. (Also my dear husband, it's been so long I forgot his nickname- uses it for all the bread he makes....) 

 My only snafu was that I decided not to sprinkle sugar on top before baking because I was like, "Lil Squirrel doesn't need the sugar."  But then when I ate one, I was like, "BORING" so I put sugar in one bowl and water in another bowl and then tried to baste or whats that thing- whatever, I put the sugar on and it was WAY BETTER! 



And look at this kid?! These photos belong in a Construction Worker Calendar!


 





My Darling, (HA I remembered his name!) and Lil S also did some DIRTY stuff yesterday! A video is next to the photo. (Note to my less technical fans, be sure to click the bottom right box of the video once you press play, so you can see it bigger!) 



It's been both fun and challenging being at home with him. There are way more good times than bad, but we keep getting in fights. Like last night, when dumped water out of the bathtub on PURPOSE looking me right in the eye. I had to haul him out of there and then he screamed for like, an eternity (probably, a minute). And at lunch today when he wanted "MORE MAC AND CHEESE RIGHT NOW" and I said, "You ate it all!" And then I walked out of the room and he calmly ate the rest of his food. He always eats better when I'm not around. 

 Okay, well, there you go. Hang in there everyone. 
One day at a time!

 Sincerely,
The Domestic Nemesis

Surprise! What did Talie and Ms. Sequitur find? HA I meant Ms. NON-Sequitur of course.... How exciting, a teeny tiny (or tee-niny as my Grandma B says) little critter. A baby gecko is gracing her presence on my keyboard. Check out this amazing video footage taken immediately upon noticing the gecko/lizard/cold blooded animal: PS: I made it to work today. I continue to do a Christian Cross each time I arrive somewhere. If anyone knows another religious type sayings I can do or say when I am safe, I would appreciate it. I'm not sure if Jesus and I are vibing.  BIG HUGS Non-Sequitur!

SATURday

In the Park...I think it was the 4th of July. (Think that song by Chicago) Well, it's the 7th today- So how was everyone's 4th? How do you feel about your independence? I was thinking about that-- how come we always say, "Happy 4th!" and not "Happy Independence!" Wouldn't it seriously be an adventure if we were still part of England? Maybe we'd all have British accents and Canada and the US would all be like one big country. Maybe we'd all have health care? And calling my Canadian friends wouldn't be long distance! Yesss! Pets are so much work. Man, I'm babysitting these fish and they are exhausting. I mean, I have to feed them TWICE a day. Come on! Hee Hee. :) I suppose that's why I murdered my fish in college...I mean I didn't murder him/her I just forgot to feed him/her for like a week or so and then he/she died. Do fish REALLY have a gender? No. They are all just fish. Fish sex (sex like making love) would b...

Mutinondo

Whoa! What a cool place this Mutinondo  was!  It is is a woodland, wilderness area NORTH EAST of Lusaka about 10 hours by bus. (Sorry about the yelling, that is a little shout out to my friend, you know who you are) (Also,  let me know if the link doesn't work) There were these gorgeous look-out points and mountains....well, large granite hills, but they were steep enough and we climbed up 2 of them. It took about 30 minutes to get to the top of each.  In the top video I'm reaching the top of the mountain!  You can hear our cool driver Mr. K cheering? :) me on!  These photos are in no order exactly, but I'll talk a little about each one! I think this one is on top of the first mountain, called Charlie's Rock This is horse poop (I know you are supposed to say scat in the wilderness, but I think horse poop is funnier. The place has some horses that we didn't ride) The view. Whoa. A little creature roaming around. He was furry and I wonder ...
