Tidbit Tuesday #58

Last Friday, for the first time in our entire lives, we became victims of theft. But before we scare you too badly.. It wasn’t our car. And it wasn’t our dog. It was.. Our griddle. Dylan had just picked up a new griddle from Target so we could use it that night to cook for some friends. But when he couldn’t hold Sully AND the griddle while getting the mail, he placed the griddle beside our complex’s mailboxes. Up the elevator he went when he realized he’d left the griddle on G1. And down he went to find that, within 60 seconds, a griddle thief had stolen OUR griddle. F’real? WHO steals a griddle?

Sully’s begun sleeping through the night! So much so that I haven’t slept with my HUGE noise-canceling headphones since last week! (I take my sleep seriously.)

This Living to 100 Life Expectancy Calculator is circulating all over my Facebook, and because it’s not some silly application that just takes a stab in the dark, but actually asks real medical/diet/exercise/family history-related questions to determine your life expectancy.. I have to say, it’s pretty fascinating. But then I learned I’m going to live to 97, and Dylan, only to 83. The only thing they didn’t ask is “When will you lose your spouse?” Because had they asked, and had I known the answer, they surely wouldn’t have made me live so long without him…

Morbidity aside, THIS is my new favorite commercial which brings out the ultimate sap in me no matter how many times I see it. :)

On any given day, you can hear me bust a rhyme by Jay-Z and then get down with my bad 42nd Street self. With that said, I do believe you’d be amused. But never more so than Dylan. :) The Light in the Piazza has always been a favorite Broadway show of mine. As in, FAVORITE, favorite, favorite. Something about the story, the composition, and the writing can change my whole mood in an instant. It just makes me happy..

Speaking of The Light in the Piazza. (This is where I use L in the P/Glee star Matthew Morrison as a segway..) I have come to the conclusion that the very reason I have avoided Glee is the very reason why I should start watching it. You see, I’ve only seen two episodes for fear that if I become a regular viewer, it will overtake my entire life. And it will. I know this.. But all my Netflix‘d TV series are over, and I need something new. Glee, the time has come..

Three days ago, we started working on the “sit” command with Sully. You know, since he obviously isn’t about to learn to relieve himself in the proper spot any time soon. :) Within just THREE days, he is a master at it! Dylan and I keep laughing at ourselves for how ridiculously happy it makes us. If I’m this proud of my dog for learning to sit, I can only imagine how potty training my human child will be. (Don’t worry. When that day comes, I’ll try to keep it off the blog.) ;)

Song of the Week: Breath Me by Sia. Dramatic enough to pretend you’re in the music video.. Beautiful enough to pretend you wrote the piano accompaniment.

And I leave you with a smidgen of Laura and Nathan’s engagement session shot by Dylan and myself this past Saturday. These two are cuteness personified in every way. And Thursday will feature the rest of ’em, so come on back! :)

Happy Tuesday! :)
