On the left side of the sanity bell curve
Simple setting: Cara and me sitting in front of the TV on the couch right before bedtime. I was watching House [cause I wanna have his babies] and Cara was 1/2 watching and 1/2 playing. Of course Cara started paying attention to the show right as the sick chick started convulsing and everyone started screaming.… Continue reading Guaranteed to Scar Her for Life
It’s Christmas in September! I’m not joking. Mom called me Sunday to talk about an idea that she had for Christmas. I was under the assumption that she was talking about where we were going to be for Christmas but it turned out that she meant a gift idea for Tucker and me. Cable, bitches! … Continue reading Cable and a Black Stump
So many things to write about today. Topic #1: My TV is possessed. Yesterday morning Tucker got Cara out of bed and turned on the TV to catch some cartoons before he got ready for class. When I finally got my ass up and made my way into the living room, Tucker and the kid… Continue reading Demon TV, My Cervix and a Big Ball of Solidarity
I’m going to Memphis today! Woo HOO! That’s right, folks. I made it to this weekend. My cervix rocks! Well…in all honesty I thought that I was going to be holding a screaming ball of baby boy this morning but the contractions slowed down and went away. At one point the stupid things were four… Continue reading Memphis Bound
I’ve bitched written about all of our family being 16 hours away and how Christmas just didn’t feel right. But, despite my Grinchesqe feelings, I still planned a kick ass dinner and wrapped Cara’s presents. Yesterday started just like any other day. Cara got up early, we all snuggled in bed for a few minutes… Continue reading The Many Mishaps of Yesterday
I’ve made a new discovery. As with all of my “discoveries” I’m a bit late to the party. Oh well. It’s new to me. My discovery is Google Trends. Have you heard of this? Click on that link [it won’t close this window] and look at some of the things that people are searching. The… Continue reading Random Because I Need More Coffee
We’re not really the holiday kind of people. If left to our own devices, Thanksgiving would probably just be a day in which everything is closed and there isn’t anything good on TV. For some reason, Christmas is kind of the same. But, I have to say that we had a really good time at… Continue reading The Day After
Man, Friday was one of those days. I was having business issues that required emails back and forth and the issue still isn’t resolved. In the middle of the emails, my cable went out…Tucker went ahead and got it disconnected. [Refer here] Add to all of that the fact that I had gotten no sleep… Continue reading Pan’s Labyrinth and KFC
Do you recognize these three? They’ve invaded my TV this morning and they refuse to leave. Damn baby animals and their horrible singing. Am I the only one who finds it odd that the duck’s name is Ming-Ming…which sounds Asian…and Asians eat duck. OK…technically, I guess anyone can eat duck, but I had Fragrant Crispy… Continue reading Ming-Ming Should Die and Other Random Things
Baby Einstein, you’ve been getting some bad press here lately. Are you feeling unloved? I’ve noticed a lot of press recently concerning the Baby Einstein series of videos and its friends. Do the videos really slow learning and lead to ADD/ADHD? Dr. Christakis seems to think so and he’s a doctor so he’s got to… Continue reading Is Baby Einstein Evil?
