Last night we were watching TV and this ipod commercial came on. When it was over Annika remarked that they really shouldn't play that, didn't they know kids were watching? Huh??? Then I realized she meant the last line "Shut up and let me go!", and that at almost 9 yo my baby still thinks "shut up" is profanity. I decided against explaining that " ( Read more... )

 I am destined to get skin cancer... I know this. Every year I get 2-3 bad sunburns. You'd think I'd know what to do by now... On Saturday I took Annika to a b-day party. It was a beautiful spring day and all of the grups sat outside talking while the kids played in the bounce house. 2.5 hours later I realize my chest & shoulders are completely ( Read more... )

Yesterday Annika and I took a very long walk with some steep slopes. This is unusual for us. Today I walked about 4 blocks to the convention center to spend a couple of hours browsing the exhibits at the Texas Library Association convention. It was a nice change to the work routine and I got some nice gifts and freebies... But I am pooped! My shoes ( Read more... )

Annika and I finished watching Twin Peaks last night. I knew it wouldn't be complete but it is still going to haunt me for the rest of my life... I watched all of season 1 back in 1990. I was hooked, obsessed. For some reason I was unable to watch the last 2/3 of season 2 (we didn't have a VCR). I found out who killed Laura Palmer and figured I ( Read more... )

Saturday I took the kids to the park for a picnic. We picked up Subway (I'm lazy). While we were eating Ezra was watching a man playing frisbee with his dog. Lo and behold, Ezra's kids pack toy was a frisbee! After we ate, Annika started to play frisbee with Ezra... She threw the frisbee, Ezra ran after it, then he put it in his mouth and ran back ( Read more... )

Yesterday my manager asked what kind of cake I like. She bakes all of our birthday party cakes. I said Chocolate! Chocolate! Chocolate! So I'm now eating a 3 layer chocolate cake. YUMMMMMM!

I don't even care that chocolate is bad for the horrendous cold sore that has taken over my left cheek.

After you die...
the Beetlejuice Waiting Room

After death, you will end up in an overcrowded waiting room sitting beside Beetlejuice. You've been given the number 736 076 827 378 919 023, but they are currently serving number 3. Good Luck.

It's been ages since I visited the vending machine at work, but today I needed something... something salty... So I got a tiny bag of Cheetos... Now I want to run to the break room with a sledgehammer and eat ALL of the Cheetos... Then I could run outside looking for random Frito-Lay trucks and ransack them for Cheetos... I could rob all of the ( Read more... )
