Ah, sweet muse Euterpe.

In my youth I was obsessed with music. First pop music, then metal, then heavier metal, for a while it was choral pieces and opera… I just love music.
I remember asking my mom about songs that were popular when I was little and she said she didn’t listen to the radio when my brother and I were small. I thought she was insane, but now I get it.
My kids are now four and I am working my way back into first love – music.
I find myself loving Pandora and Blip.fm.
Today I was chatting with Twitter about my music guilty pleasures. I think they become guilty pleasures when my husband makes fun of my for listening to them. You may have to check my blip.fm stream to get the whole story but let’s just say John Denver and Boys II Men were both mentioned.
Obviously, I’ll be inquiring about your guilty pleasures but we also need to talk about the Rolling Stones. Without further ado:
1) What is you guiltiest, guilty pleasure song?*
2) What is your favorite song by The Rolling Stones?**
3) What is the best new album you have heard this year?
4) Name one song that changed your life.
5) What is your favorite song of all time?
(more…)

Claudia: Mommy, do you want to see what is under my pajamas?
Me: Are you hitting on me?
Claudia: *blank stare*

In case you were wondering it was Tinkerbell underwear.

Hey. Remember my last traffic contest?
Me neither, until just now.
I think I was supposed to announce a winner back in September. That clearly didn’t go as planned, but I remembered today.
I remembered after getting 26 unique hits for “vagina picture”.
You see, last year Ali won the contest (the gist was to come up with a term that generated the most traffic) with “Homer Simpson vagina tattoo”.
And this year – Ali won again when she suggested “Ash and Dawn from Pokemon naked.”

Apparently this woman is tapped in to internet perverts everywhere. That is Dawn and Ash over there. People really want to see them naked?
Congratulations Ali Martel from Cheaper Than Therapy!
She has won a $25 gift certificate to Build-Bear Workshop.
And I suck at contests.*
* Not that this will stop me from having more contests. In fact, there is a good chance I will be giving away something super cool soon. Stay tuned.

Confession #1. Thanks to my cohorts over at MamaPop I am hopelessly addicted to The Twilight Series.
Yes, I am reading young adult fiction. I am reading an entire series of
young adult fiction – and it is about vampires – and I am staying up way to late at night to read these books.
Gabe is never going to let me live this one down.

Confession #2. I have an inexplicable craving for Hamburger Helper. The cheeseburger macaroni kind.
Yes, I know it is gross that is why I have included it in my embarrassing confessions post.
Ew. Really gross. Just look at that picture. That could turn people into vegetarians.
(Didn’t work. I’m still craving it. It is as if my body is lacking salt and fat.)
___
Confession #3. Yesterday I had to create a new Yahoo account because when I went to sign up for the Mommy Needs Fantasy Football League Yahoo informed me that I was already participating in the maximum number of leagues allowed.
Who is Yahoo to judge me?
I can handle fantasy football. I don’t have a problem. I can quit anytime I want.
Hmph.
Anyway, I can’t talk. I need to see what Edward and Bella are up to quickly before my next draft starts.
Nobody tell me anything! I just started the second book, New Moon
and I don’t want to know anything. I already accidentally found out about Jacob and I wish I didn’t know.

Edited to add: I don’t know why they call this stuff Hamburger Helper, it does just fine by itself.

I walked into the kids bathroom today and I thought What the hell ? And then I thought Hey, this is just a caption contest waiting to happen.
So have at it.
