I read Wonkette almost every day. So does everybody else in D.C.. Do you want to know how I know?
Wonkette linked to me yesterday. I’ve gotten over 560 hits from this link so far. I usually don’t get 560 hits in an entire day.
What did I post that was so newsworthy that it deserved a link from Wonkette?
The thing about hermaphrodite midget porn.
As a special added bonus one of the other moms from The Squad’s preschool class decided to check out my blog yesterday. (Hi Kristin!) I co-op in her child’s class. I supposed she could have had me arrested. Instead she sent me an e-mail saying that it really made her laugh. I am very grateful that she has a good sense of humor.
Now I know who to go drinking with.*

* Not like these evil people who try to make you play drinking Chutes and Ladders with tequila. My head still hurts just thinking about it.

I tried to make it big enough to read but I suck at computers. Still, it says what you think it does.
I am the number one hit on Google for “hermaphrodite midget porn”.
I blame Chris.

No, our TV didn’t suck me in. In fact, it completely died and we had to buy a new (and way cooler) television set.
The tv didn’t try to hurt me at all, but this almost did me in.
I don’t really want to talk about it anymore, but I will say this it was indeed a bottle full of bad ideas.
We’ve been busy playing tourist with company and end of the year stuff for preschool. We spent Saturday on the mall with our friends Lora and Matt and I didn’t get one single picture of the four of us. Instead, would you like to see a cool picture I took of the Washington Monument?
We’ve also been potty training. Well, potty training Claudia. She has peed in the potty every day for a week now. No more diapers for her, she is in either a Pull-Up or underpants all day long now.
Did I mention my superfly new friend Clare (Hi Clare!) sent The Goon Squad a bunch of Pull-Ups so that we could try the different kinds? Claudia likes the ones with “Learning Designs”. I guess the pictures are supposed to fade when they get wet, but she has been doing such a great job keeping them dry that I hadn’t even noticed.
We are also finally caught up on all three seasons of “Project Runway” so now you can feel free to talk to me about it.
Yes, I know I am a dork. Need more proof? I went and bought Guitar Hero 2
(which I am hoping will beeasy to follow having never played Guitar Hero 1). Now if I can figure out how to hook the thing up I am going to go shred.

Here is something I’ve never even heard of before.
Sometimes when we are watching television my TV just turns off. If I hit the power button nothing happens.
The only way we can make the tv turn back on is to plug it into another outlet in our power strip.
Before you tell me the problem is with my power strip, our TiVo, our DVD player and our stereo are all plugged into the same thing and they all work just fine. Plus, sometimes it won’t work at all and other times it will work in one of the sockets that wouldn’t work before. Yeah, I don’t get it either.
So tell me, fine readers, do I need a new tv or should I throw a tennis ball in there before the thing sucks Claudia in there.
I’ll tell you this much, either way I’m not looking under my bed.

I love kids. Not just my kids. I love most little kids, and I don’t mean that in the Lolita kind of way, either. Little kids just crack me up. There is something about the ages between 2 and 6 that I just think is great.
I was dropping The Goon Squad off at preschool today and a little boy I had never met before came up to me and said:
Hi! My name is Michael. I am five and three quarters. Do you want to see what I can do?
And I knew. I knew immediately just exactly what he was going to show me. Michael shoved his hand up his shirt and into his armpit and made farting noises.
And it was still funny.
Kids are great. How can they be so predictable and so surprising all at the same time?
