In my daughter's kindergarten class, they regularly have Fun Friday. They do something wacky on Friday afternoons whenever feasible, and instead of "quiet time" they watch a movie. The Chickadee thinks this is about the most fantabulous invention since the Freaky Dismembered Barbie Styling Head. Know what? I am in desperate need of a Fun Friday ritual. As my resources, budget, and attention span are limited, I've decided to turn to all of you, my newfound blogging buddies. I want to write tomorrow. For me, that's nearly always fun. But I do not want to have to think much, because if I think...
I do whatever Zoot says. Sometimes. Well, tonight, anyway. She made herself a super-cute avatar with a link to the place to make your own. So I spent mere seconds cursing that she hadn't come up with this before talking myself into posting a real picture, and went right on over. Here I am: Now, look at the avatar, and then at the picture to the right. Isn't it eerie how close they are??? Yeah, I know... time for bed.
I feel I must warn: Lee's pad is germy. Alas, he gave me his cold. Okay, maybe I spent too much time there Monday. Learned my sad lesson.... *insert tuba-sounding noseblow here*
(And also, I am a follower... wow I almost said typed that with a straight face... and nothing interesting has happened yet today 'round here cept for a game of Go Fish involving a stuffed puppy who regularly drew multiple cards, dirty cheater.) Would you rather: your best friend overhear you telling somebody else a deep secret about them OR your child overhear you venting your frustrations about your significant other?Well as my savings for the Therapy Fund are already being socked away (and spent), I guess I take the latter. My kids have heard me vent about my ex, which is--in my...
... that not everyone was charmed impressed amused that I had my kindergarten school portrait in my profile. After sorting through approximately 6,591 family photos, I cut out this one that I didn't completely hate. (There was another one that was pretty good, an almost artsy kinda profile shot from a birthday party, where my hair looked fabulous and I was about to help blow out the candles... and Julia said it looked like I was getting ready to snort some coke. Alrighty then.) So there I am. This is a move of The New Fearless Me, putting my face out there for anyone and everyone. It makes...
The title is a misnomer; few, if any, of these things actually go bump in the night. But they all frighten me. 1) The Swan. 2) The fact that I am compelled to watch The Swan. 3) That weird little dancing bald guy in the commercials for Six Flags who shows up in a bus and jitterbugs around until everyone joins him for a romp at the amusement park. 4) Women who think they can't leave the house without make-up on. 5) Men who think women shouldn't leave the house without make-up on. 6) People who take their marriages for granted. 7) People who don't like kids. 8) People who think I must be...
To Whom It May Concern: I am writing to you today in reference to the deposits placed with your organization to hold summer camp slots for my children, Chickadee and Monkey IdiotboysLastNameWhichWeAreAllStuckWithNow. On March 6th, 2004, the children were registered as follows: Chickadee: Weeks 3-6 for Camp By The Lake, and Weeks 7 and 8 at Tap/Ballet Camp Which Isn't Nearly Expensive Enough Already So You Will Require Me To Purchase a $75 Recital Outfit. Pre- and post-care for all weeks. Monkey: Weeks 7 and 8 for Camp For Kids Not Actually Old Enough For Camp But Conveniently Located Down...
I am a Gauntlet Adventurer. I strive to improve my living conditions by hoarding gold, food, and sometimes keys and potions. I love adventure, fighting, and particularly winning - especially when there's a prize at stake. I occasionally get lost inside buildings and can't find the exit. I need food badly. What Video Game Character Are You? (And the sad part is, I think this one was more accurate than the girlfriend test....)
You Are A Professional Girlfriend! You are the perfect girlfriend - big surprise! Heaven knows you've had enough practice. That's why you're a total pro. If there was an Emily Post of girlfriends, it would be you. You know how to act in every situation ... to make both you and your guy happy. What Kind Of Girlfriend Are You? Take This Quiz :-) It must be my professional girlfriend status that has me beating away the men with a stick. Oh, wait, those are mosquitoes. My mistake. I confess. What was proud self-assurance this morning turned down the path of woulda-coulda-shouldas by evening. But...
