Et·som·ni·a (/etˈsämnēə/), noun, 1. a sleep disorder caused by obsessive Etsy browsing. 2. The surprising arrival of weird handmade merchandise ordered when one is only half conscious. (True story.) 3. An excuse for me to be an obnoxious, snarky New Yorker once per week.

Every spring, I go a little dog crazy. In the winter, I hate the idea of having to go outside in the cold to walk something, and in the summer, the concept of having something furry heating me up sounds nightmarish. But in the spring (and the fall), dogs really do seem like just the thing to help you enjoy the wonderful weather. (This thinking is why we don’t have a dog.)

So today, I’m looking at dog… stuff. I don’t know. I don’t have more of an idea than that. What do you want from me? I’m still in vacation head.
