This weekend I think we’re going to go to Pier 39 in San Francisco to check out the aquarium and the hub bub on the pier. They have free live entertainment like jugglers and performing dogs and what-not. We get to see Sea Lions too, so I hope it isn’t raining, but I think we’re going to go on Sunday and rain is in the forecast. (more…)
Seven days late and still no period and yesterday’s test was (wasted) a big fat negative. So what’s the deal with the ovaries? No clue. Hmmppphhhff
Besides the fact that I have this feeling of impending doom and something’s wrong, it would be NICE to either be pregnant or get my period on time like normal. NOT that I like the period, but ya know. I was on time for 5 years until I started trying to get pregnant in October and now I am all over the place.
Well, I’ve finally started exercising again. Nothing TOO strenuous, as I don’t want to ruin the rubenesque figure I’ve earned over the past 4.5 years staying at home. Wouldn’t want anyone to think I actually DO something with my time. Though it’s hard here because most the stay at home moms look pretty freakin’ hot.
I’m taking the dog to the park down the road every morning. It’s a lot of fun to go walking after he’s warn down from romping in the enclosed area with other dogs while we stand around talking about…dogs. Or today I met up with a mom whom is slowly becoming a friend and whom kicks my ass a lot about the issues we’re both dealing with in our kids. Love her. (more…)
What really annoys me? Sales prices below 20%. Maybe 15%. A coupon or sale for 10% off just seems like a waste of time. Unless the item is $500 or more, 10% off just doesn’t fool me. What 10% off says is that you want to pop a gimmick out there to increase your sales but you’re too cheap to actually give us a DEAL.
Another gimmick I just love are sales restrictions. “EVERYTHING’S ON SALE!” Except of course the 50 items listed at the bottom of the ad.
What’s worse? I still fall for it like every other schmuck because I love to shop and I love to get deals and I love any reason to say I got something on sale - even if it was only a lousy 10% on a $20 item. P’shaw.
Found on Home Educating a Patch of Puddles, Merry’s commenting on her daughters’ repeated usage of some phrases. This reminded me of a few.
When my cousins were young, they would say before almost every beginning sentence, “Um, er, oh…” (more…)
Oh my gourd this is funny. I don’t even want to know who sat around coming up with these and NO ONE tells my kids. But you can have a peek.

I’m well endowed. And when I’m porky, I am even more well endowed. We’re talking DDD here.
I’m also currently poor enough that I can’t run right out this week to buy new jeans. Unfortunately two of my pairs of jeans split their seams, so I am down to a pair of jeans and two pairs of “other” pants.
I won’t go into how I just emptied my closet and removed all these barely worn pairs of pants and jeans that I no longer wanted and how I refuse to buy more until I magically lose weight. I thought going down to only a couple would torture me enough to actually LOSE WEIGHT but instead it’s just been an inconvenience. (more…)
Thanks to Notes from the Trenches (check out the penis thing, specifically) for reminding me of my little early morning gem yesterday.
I was play shooting my son with an obnoxiously loud noise-maker and each time I squeezed the trigger he would dance the I’m-being-electrocuted dance. It was all great fun.
As he went running off to check on his toast he turned around and flipped me the bird. He’s 8 by the way. My reaction took quite a few seconds as at first (being the dirty girl that I am) I had to register what he’d done is a non-verbal swear word, not only in front of me, but at me. Oh, and that’s supposed to be a bad thing. I forget that sometimes. (more…)
I found two packs of Reeses cups in the far corner (the one no one ever sees) in the cabinet above the fridge on Wednesday when I was standing on a chair to dust. I yanked them out and looked them over and started cussing.
That no good husband of mine was witholding chocolate from me - LIKE I HAVE A PROBLEM.
It wouldn’t have been the kids, it must have been him, And he doesn’t even EAT CHOCOLATE! But after a good snitch and an almost dial of his cell phone I realized maybe I had put them there. WHY would I put them there, I asked? (more…)
I found Wednesday Whine at the Phantom Scribbler. I’m totally whiny today - I have a cold. Despite my sucking on homeopathic remedy as much as possible for the last two days, I feel yucky. Though I know I would feel worse without it, I wanted a miracle cure. Hubby wants me to take Airborne but I totally gag when I try.
I blame the city bus trip to the library for this! And therefore it’s my 8-yr-old’s fault. Just wait until I tell him. He’s in SO much trouble. (more…)
