It’s been an oddly busy week, so please forgive my lack of updates here. (What’s that smell? Ew, stale website.)
Quick like a bunny before I head to work this morning:
• I posted a short Halloween video here, should you wish to see Riley in his Godzilla costume, and really, why wouldn’t you?
• I have too much leftover chocolate in the house and I think we may need an intervention, THIS IS A CRY FOR HELP
• I visited my friend Jen and her adorable baby yesterday and she took a photo of Riley and me on the playground slide that I think is my new favorite picture ever:
(Except, holy roots, batgirl! Pardon the grown-out highlights yet again.)
• I’m not the only one in this household who is SICK AND TIRED of political ads:
(We here at sundrymourning.com neither endorse nor oppose Darcy Burner, but we think that video is pretty damn funny.)
Finally, I leave you with a baby in a hamper, because can’t we all just sit back and enjoy some cruel, heartless exploitation? Won’t somebody think of the children, and what sorts of objects to stuff them inside for humorous gain?

Well, I didn’t have a chance to ask you what your weekend plans were before the weekend actually happened, and I totally missed hearing about what you had going on. My own weekend was pretty low key, as I mentioned we had hoped for a babysitter on Saturday night but that didn’t pan out, so we sat around and watched Mission Impossible 3, a movie which begs the question, how does Ethan Hunt know which self-destructing message-bearing items can be passively held while they poof into a harmless cloud of smoke, and which need to be tossed vigorously aside before they detonate in a skin-melting ball of flames?
We visited a Blockbuster with Riley yesterday in order to collect at least one horror movie for Halloween night, and for the first time out in public, we put him down and he walked next to us. It was sort of wonderful and sweet for about one hot second, then it rapidly became a nightmare as he yanked his hand away and began reeling happily around the store like a tiny shitfaced Frankenstein, wanting to grab everything and resisting our attempts to corral him with furious, head-turning howls. I wished mightily for a tranquilizer gun loaded with toddler-dropping ammo, but all I could do was try and minimize the chaos until we got him back into the car, where JB and I looked at each other and simultaneously said, “Oh shit.”
Back in the good old days, like two weeks ago, when Riley was just starting to toddle around the house, I took some video because it was so incredible and exciting and who knew that I was going to rue the day he took his first step. RUUUUUE.
Here’s a short montage of a few different clips:
Ah, happier times, before my son was mobile enough to trample an entire video store.
Okay, so get me all caught up, will you? What did you do over the weekend?
