Randomness Part 26

You can find me and a bunch of people who are much funnier than me over on My Other Blog. My favorite post on here so far is one from Paige (a.k.a. Miss Domestic), who puts Dora and Steve head to head for a position in her corporation. Yes, that Dora and that Steve. Speaking [...]

So Very Proud

Just this weekend people got to my blog by searching “spitting in public photos” and “nude house cleaning Orlando”. Nice. Okay, so here is something I really am proud of. Yesterday Gabe, The Goon Squad and I were taking turns pretending to sleep. You know, fake snoring and all. When the kids fake snore it [...]

In Training for the Sullen Olympics

Claudia got up on the wrong side of her crib. Seriously, after her nap she was in a baaaaaaaaaad mood. Everything was pissing her off. Mostly her brother and her mother. First she sat in the big recliner and scowled at me for about 15 minutes. Then she laid on the floor and moaned for [...]

Ian Goes Goth (or Black is the new Yellow)

Okay, you know how I have told all about Claudia’s obsession with yellow and the yellow pacifier? Her brother has also chosen his favorite color. Black. I believe that is unusual for a one year old. I mean – I have been known to tell people that black is my favorite color, but I am [...]

Claudia’s Reading Selection for Thursday

I don’t mean to brag, but I think Sagan is pretty advanced for someone who hasn’t even turned two yet.

The Flamingo Cup

Being from Florida, we have several Tervis Tumblers. They are the clear plastic tumblers that have pictures inside them, they are great for the beach or pool because they are practically unbreakable and they don’t sweat. We have probably 12 of these cups all with different pictures on them. About a year and a half [...]

The Problem With Chalk

The Obligatory Valentine’s Day Post

I see everyone is doing Valentine’s Day posts today, and who am I to stray from the flock. Today The Goon Squad was introduced to a family tradition – giving inappropriate cards for the occasion. It started off simply. The first card Gabe ever gave me was in a foreign language. Something good too – [...]

Let It Snow

My first big snow storm! It was actually beautiful. Ian gets a little bit confused and calls snow “nose”. Ah, close enough. We lost power for about 24 hours, which is why I recommend living near family. We spent the night at Gabe’s parents house which is where I learned that eating ice cream when [...]

Do you want to know what I think is funny?

I think it is hilarious to go into itunes every once and a while and give five stars to really funny songs. You see, Gabe has an ipod and I don’t. He uses it at work and the songs with five stars will come up as his highest rated. So this week he will get [...]

Who would you do?

Recently I wrote a post on PMZ about “The Wiggles”. In the comments I learned that Erin has a friend who would leave her husband for Captain Feathersword. First of all, I’m pretty sure Captain Feathersword likes boys, but beyond that it got me thinking about characters in childrens programming. Is there anybody I would [...]

This Too Shall Pass

Every time I drive over the Potomac River into Maryland, I think about George Washington. I live really close to the Potomac River. I’m assuming this will stop happening soon. I guess when I lived in Orlando I eventually stopped rolling my eyes every time I drove past Disney World.
