Just can't get a break

Cecilia absolutely loves Loki, but Loki would just like to get to relax. Oh well.

On another note, I've finally passed 500 posts! That's a lot of comics about nothing.

Surprisingly similar

Cecilia loves Loki. And she also loves being like Loki. Loki has managed to take nearly ten minutes of spinning and clawing to finally get comfortable in her doggy bed. Cecilia actually took a couple of minutes arranging the pillows our bed before sitting on them to look through her books.

She's a chipmunk

We've got hundreds of acorns all over the neighborhood and she loves to hold about five or six of them in her mouth. She doesn't really eat them, break them open, I think she just chews on them as a teething device.

More butter please

Ate through the wrapper.

Yes, that's his real moustache

Cecilia still doesn't say any real words by our standards, but she can pronounce a variety sounds. We actually had this "conversation," with the smug face and everything.

Just to save a buck

I had to wait a whole week to get my copy of Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins. I have about two chapters left (it's tough getting through a book when you can only read during naptime) and think I am going to read straight through through the whole series again, it's great! On a less positive note, it seems like Amazon had become a slacker when shipping packages. I used to always receive available merchandise within about three days, but the last two years have changed that dramatically. Now it often takes a few weeks before an available item is even shipped! And at least a week before it arrives at my mailbox. I guess that's what I get for wanting to get a great deal. In the future, I think I will just buy any incredibly popular new releases at Costco or Walmart so I can have it right away.

Edit: I finished the book later that night. It's great! I think Suzanne Collins did a good job of ending the series and I have already started re-reading The Hunger Games (book 1) so that I can go through all three in a row. I've heard that the movie rights have already been purchased, but I'm afraid for a movie version. Don't get me wrong, I think a movie version could be amazing, but I also think it could be pretty disastrous (like Ella, Enchanted - a book I really enjoyed). The amount of editing in order to get a pg-13 rating would ruin the point of the book.

Animal kingdom

Since I've begun taking walks at the crack of dawn with Cecilia, I have discovered so much unknown animal life in our neighborhood. Mainly just interesting bugs and lizards, but types I never see during the day. I guess even the natives don't like the heat in Texas.
