About a year ago, I wrote an open letter to all car manufacturers. I asked for something that didn’t yet exist, but that was desperately needed for us new (and somewhat egotistical) generation of Moms – an SUVan. Just like those that grew up in station wagons didn’t want to buy a station wagon when […]
Dora, The Saint.
There’s a new trend in cartoons this generation, and it kind of freaks me out. Attempted Interactivity. I say attempted because half the time I can barely get my toddler to interact with me while she’s watching TV, let alone the TV itself. Dora does it. Handy Manny does it. Even Mickey Mouse has come […]
Someone Needs to Change the Dirty Diaper of Fashion.
Last fall during the American Music Awards, I noticed a very scary trend: the Adult Onesie. It was disturbing, it was edgy, and, as I feared, it was the first step on the way to a new and terribly horrifying trend. The Onesie is now known as . . . . The Romper. If you […]
TipAngst.
Since I’m totally on the subject of my heinous crime of eating out too much this week, I have further thought on the matter. Further thought that greatly disturbs me. Regularly. First, let’s start with some analysis. There are 5 types of restaurants in the world, in descending price order: 1. Fancy-Schmancy – these are […]
Random Driblets of Nearly Unimportant Information
Random Driblet #1: Due to the rising tide of oil in our Alabama gulf, our Orange Beach relatives, Aunt Kitty and Uncle Leo (of Toenail Art infamy) are getting involved in some activism. Because of that, they’re getting interviewed by multiple national (and international) news channels, so if you see/saw a man with super curly […]
Whatever Happened to the Dickie?
So it’s getting to be about the time that I at least start going through my maternity clothes, seeing what I can acquiesce to wear again and what I wore so much with Ali that I can’t bear the sight of, and getting them washed and ready completely engulf my wardrobe. I’m not showing yet, […]
Disturbing or Hilarious?
Item #1: This toy machine seems to have been very strategically placed at my favorite mall: My Vote: Hilarious. I especially love that ALL of the “toy chests” are missing…as if everyone frantically stocked up on them before going in the store behind it to buy some packaging for their new finds. Item #2: They’re […]
Tilted Uteruses Rock.
(Or would that be Uteri?) (And yes, I am aware that I have used the “U” word on my blog twice in a week. But you know what? I’m pregnant, and that’s kinda where my baby is hanging out these days. Anyway, I’m pretty sure that I have 99% female readership. So you 1% can […]
My Friend, the Television.
As I feel somewhat couchbound these days, and, therefore, am not doing much of anything exciting to blog about, I have found a bit more solace than usual in the television. (That, and a new love for painting my fingernails, something I haven’t done in a decade. Because long, thick fingernails is one of the […]
Revealing The Mysteries of the Ripe Old Age of Six.
This morning, as we were rushing around trying to get out the door to Church, Ali asked, “So. When will my teeth fall out?” Apparently, she’s been hanging around some older men. “Your teeth will fall out when you get to be about six years old – in three more years.” “Really? Why?” “Because they […]
