Chris from Rude Cactus called me hip the other day. Clearly that solidified the fact that I would do something insanely dorky that day proving how uncool I really am. Take for example this conversation that Gabe and I had about the singer from System of a Down and his new solo album.* Me: You [...]
A Freak Accident
November 14, 2007
I hope I don’t lose my toenail. It was a stupid accident. It was something that you would see in a Will Ferrell movie. You know those metal travel coffee mugs? Well, Gabe takes those to work in the mornings. There were two empty ones on the stair that he brought in when he got home [...]
Randomness Part 93
November 14, 2007
You know that song “I Love Chocolate Milk”? Yeah. I can’t get that song out of my head. * How could I have forgotten to buy beer? What the hell is wrong with me? How gross does this sound… ham flavored soda? (Thanks Lori, I think.) Igbo-Ora – Land of Twins. (Sorry for the dead [...]
I Have Become My Mother
November 13, 2007
We’re driving to Florida next week and as I was at the library this morning, getting six books on CD, it hit me – Oh my God, I have become my mother. SHE goes to the library and checks out books on CD that no one else wants to listen to before a road trip. [...]
You’ll Never Guess What I am Doing Tonight
November 12, 2007
Tonight I am going to be part of a panel discussion for a doctoral-level seminar on Work, Identity and Adult Development. Specifically, those mothers who decided to stop working temporarily or permanently after they had children. What we’re interested in exploring is how identity changes during these transitions. at George Washington University.* That’s right. You [...]
Out of the Mouths of Babes
November 9, 2007
Me: Did somebody poop? Claudia: No. Me: Are you sure? I think I smell poop? Claudia: No, that is just how I smell. ________ Ian: Can we please listen to “20 Eyes” again? (God, I love these kids.) ________ Claudia: My babies were all in my uterus at the same time. Keisha’s head was here [...]
Contest Update
November 8, 2007
Maybe you have been wondering how the contest is going. Maybe you haven’t. Hell, maybe you didn’t even realize that I was having a contest. Or maybe Andie D.mentioned that she hadn’t yet received her prize from the contest she won last month. (blushing) For those of you playing along at home I am having [...]
Because Fish Love The English Beat
November 7, 2007
The Goon Squad is in the bath tub playing with their little plastic fish. Claudia is making her fish jump around like crazy. Claudia: Look Mommy! My fish are rockin’ out! Me: Very nice. What are song they dancing to? Claudia: Mirror in the Bathroom. Of course, because deep down inside don’t all fish rock [...]
It is a completely reasonable segue in my mind.
November 6, 2007
In The United States today is Election Day. Obviously (if you are me anyway) I have had that Arcadia song stuck in my head all day. This is the part of the post where you are going to have to pay attention in order to follow my train of thought. In 1985 Simon LeBon, Nick [...]
Guilty: The ROFL Award for October
November 2, 2007
I am guilty of playing favorites. Not so much with my kids, but with bloggers. I’ve been known to nominate my friends (my real life friends) for blog awards before. I know it seems like nepotism, but also I think it can also be chalked up to the fact that I hang out with these [...]
Avoid Squeezing the Meat
November 2, 2007
It Made Me Laugh Originally uploaded by Sarah606 I told you people I was immature. I can’t even make a meatloaf like a grown up. When I make meatloaf it requires a highlighter and a camera.
Fine. Sit in your own feces. See if I care.
November 1, 2007
My kids still aren’t potty trained. As a bonus, they are reluctant to let me change their Pull Ups. I mean, I go out of my way to buy the kind with “cool alert” hoping that they will be uncomfortable and want to change. Anyway, we had a big morning where we ran a bunch [...]
