It is as if I were Trying to be Even More Suburban

February 28, 2007 | Books, Parenting

Don’t tell the Stollerderby people, they think I am a witty hipster urban parent.

I am about as Suburban as you can get. I live in the suburbs, I drive a mini-van, I have two kids, I shop at The Gap, I belong to multiple books clubs and spend time thinking about my yard. (Okay, I really don’t spend that much time thinking about my lawn, but I’m trying to illustrate a point.)

After a year of being harassed by my mother (the library scientist), I finally went and got a library card in Virginia. I hadn’t been in a library in a couple of years. In fact, I believe the last time I was in la biblioteca (how many times could I use the word library in one paragraph before you stopped paying attention?) was to show my mom’s librarian buddies how pregnant I was. So, let’s say about three years have passed.

I had forgotten how much I love the library. That place rules. I can get books – for free! I also checked out a DVD – for free! Plus, the librarian was really nice (not like those mean librarians in Temple Terrace – they know who they are). AND I found a program next month for two and three year olds that is about planes, trains and automobiles. Ian is going to poop his pants.

Okay, let’s be honest. Ian was probably going to poop his pants anyway. Potty training really isn’t going that well.

What I am trying to say is go to the library. They let you have books for free.

(Hi Mom!)

Randomness Part 68

February 27, 2007 | Randomness

Did you guys know that Elizabeth has perfect pitch? I can only think of one other person I know that has this talent. It blows my mind. Do any of the rest of you have perfect pitch?

Nobody was shocked that Anna Nicole Smith was on drugs while she was pregnant, right? So, why is it headline news?

I need one of these. (This link courtesy of my Academy Award Winning friend, The Kaiser.)

Speaking of the Academy Awards, Devra sent me this link of The Most Awkward Oscar Moments.

Not that you would, but if you decided to Google search the phrase john mccain freaked out we (or I guess, I) here at Sarah and the Goon Squad happen to be the #1 result.

We’re #1! We’re #1!

This article isn’t confusing, but this headline sure is:

Women, blacks beat smokers, Mormons in U.S. race: poll

Is that some sort of backhanded compliment?

February 26, 2007 | Parenting, The Pink One

Lately when I do something that Claudia really wants me to do she has an odd way of thanking me.

Here is an example, a couple of weeks ago, I washed her red bowl and poured her some Cheerios.

“Wow!: she said “You’re really big!”

I realize that when a two year old says you are really big they are actually just praising your Cheerio getting skills, but I can’t but help feel a touch insulted.

___

The other day she was watching me get dressed and she said “Wow, Mommy! You have a really big butt!” which is jerky and untrue.

I’m just big boned.

A Quick Note on The Oscars

TV

As I watched the 79th Annual Academy Awards I couldn’t help but wonder:

Seriously, how can people stand to watch television without TiVo? It took forever and I had to sit through all of those commercials like some kind of sucker. I was up way past midnight and that didn’t bother Ian one bit when he came into my bedroom this morning at 6:30 asking for yogurt.

As far as inventions go, if I had to live without either a microwave or my DVR I honestly think I would keep my TiVo.
