The kids are playing. Ian: We’re going all the way to China. Claudia: But I wanted to go to Argentina! Me: Did you just say Argentina? Claudia: Yes. Argentina. Me: (speechless) She is three years old. How the hell does she know about Argentina? Claudia: We’re going to ride our scooters all the way to [...]
I Want to Marry The Kennedy Center
July 17, 2007
One of the coolest parts about living in this area is that I get to go to shows at The Kennedy Center. I just got back from seeing “The Phantom of the Opera” there. I know you people that live in New York and get to go to The Met or Carnegie Hall and get [...]
Randomness Part 84
July 17, 2007
Biz Markie is involved in this Yo Gabba Gabba thing. I think my head is going to explode. My boy is obsessed with this show. It isn’t even on tv yet and he asks for it. Nick Jr. is completely on to us. As much as it freaks me out, I guarantee I’ll be TiVoing [...]
Uncomfortably Numb
July 16, 2007
I can’t feel the lower left half of my face. I just got back from the dentist. I had some work done and now I have that crazy numbness going on. Plus, apparently, Novocaine makes me loopy. I am hungry, but I am afraid to eat or drink. I’m scared I would chew on my [...]
Every Girl’s Crazy ’bout a Sharp Dressed Man
July 13, 2007
Guess who dressed himself this morning? And he was very proud. He is still walking around like that. His style makes Kriss Kross wonder why they didn’t just take that extra step and use the leg hole for their waists. Wow. My kitchen looks dirty in these pictures. I think I am going to go [...]
Randomness Part 83
July 13, 2007
- I saw this and then I bought the book the next day. (Stolen from Laurie at Upside Up) – Speaking of Laurie… Thank you Laurie, for being so great and helping me install Sk*rt and explaining what it was. I feel enlightened. – I crack myself up. – Oh! For all of you other [...]
Chatty Cathy: In the Flesh
July 12, 2007
Claudia has been talking for days. Nonstop. She stops when she sleeps, but for most of her waking hours she has been keeping a running commentary of everything as it happens. She is like a crazed auctioneer. Can I have a banana? But I want a banana? Why don’t we have any bananas? I want [...]
Randomness Part 82
July 11, 2007
- An aside to my friends who blog on VOX: It isn’t that I don’t read you, I assure you I do. I just can’t comment without signing in. 1) I signed up for a Vox blog about a year ago and I never figured out how to use it. 2) I forget my sign [...]
Some Gender Stereotypes are True
July 11, 2007
Part of my plan to potty train The Goon Squad is bribery. Gabe prints (or technically in this case, Grandma printed them up because we were at her house on July 1st) up two calendars each month. One for each kid. Every time somebody pees or poops in the potty they get a sticker. You [...]
An Open Letter to U.S. Airways
July 10, 2007
Dear U.S. Airways, Can I just ask what you were thinking when you sat me in an aisle all by myslef and then you sat each one of my three year olds in their own rows with complete strangers? When I bought my tickets I clearly filled out the part of the form that indicated [...]
7.7.7.
July 7, 2007
So am I the only one who can’t get that Danzig song out of my head today? Danzig 777 Just Me? Fine. Be that way.
