If you live in Ohio, you can't avoid them. All three of the above, that is, but particularly the third one. And if you live in Cincinnati, the epicenter of the Bedbug Kingdom in the United States, well, it's only a matter of time before you're cuddling up with the critters at nightfall. Much like the newsmen heralding the White Death of Cincinnati winters (known to outsiders as "snow flurries"), they're a-comin', ready or not.
At least that's the feeling I came away with this week after exploring the media buzz about bedbugs in the Queen City.
The Smell of a Good Book

Ahhh. There's nothing like the smell of a new book. Or an old book. Or even a textbook. Weird, I know.
My daughter and I just discovered that we share this appreciation for the unmistakable scent of words begging to be read. Not everyone relishes the distinctive aroma of a new paperback or the mustiness of a yellowed volume of poetry. Maybe this quality stems from surrounding our kids with books since birth. But part of me believes it's an inherited trait.

We rarely have anything but vanilla ice cream. Ever.

Some say it's a hot cell phone. My kids are drooling over it. I am resisting the recurrent urge to chuck it out the window.
I detest the newest piece of technology that my husband thinks is the greatest thing since the microwave (which, by the way, I didn't fully accept until 1995). Maybe it's the fact that answering a call requires two hands because it has to be "unlocked" (leaving me screaming "I'M HERE!" at the keypad while the people at the post office stare and quickly look for the security cameras).
Losin' It

I've officially lost it. Doesn't matter what "it" is, it's gone and not comin' back. And I'm pretty sure my kids took it.
