So, apparently, children’s movies were not the only movies that I was behind on watching. Last Thursday night at our small group, the topic of old movies somehow came up. Not old like Casablanca old, but 80’s and 90’s old. Because we’re getting old these days, you know. Anyway, so somehow old movies came up. […]
YBUtT
As I’ve mentioned a couple of times, my kid is fascinated – no, completely and unequivocally obsessed – with “Yucky Bubble Gum Under the Table.” And, since Chris and I don’t chew gum, I’m pretty sure that her comprehension of the stuff is that it’s some sort of organic bacterial mold that grows underneath tables […]
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 […]
Only
Only in Alabama would you find this postcard hanging on someone’s Refrigerator: (My Parent’s fridge, if you’re wondering. Mom said she hung it front and center because she didn’t want to forget to take advantage of that great offer from the local dump – that’s bargain shopping at it’s…nitty-grittiest.) Only a Beer WEEK could last […]
MAMJoB: Moms Against Mom Jeans on Babies.
Mom Jeans. It’s not something that only plagues 50 year olds anymore, or even just misguided 20-somethings. No, it’s seeping down to the very beginnings of our society, trying to infiltrate our babies by starting them off as Mom Jean loyalists at the youngest of age. You know it. You’ve seen it. Too many styles […]
Yet Another Deep Mystery of Life.
I’ve had a lot of strange realizations since becoming pregnant. I’ve smelled things I’ve never smelled before, I’ve tasted ingredients in things that I didn’t know were there, and I hate half the foods and drinks that I usually love. But this one…I’m totally confused. I was leaving the house the other day, and on […]
Because I Like to Be Helpful.
You know, I try to be a helpful blogger. If someone asks me a question, I try to answer it. If someone is looking for something, I try to help them find it. But sometimes, people ask questions of Google that lead them to my blog, where they might or might not get their question […]
The Perils of Sleepwalking and Motherhood.
I have a condition – Sleepwalking. This condition has come and gone different times in my life, but has ultimately only landed me in the emergency room exactly once. However, that fateful night at the ER was not the only scary situation I’ve gotten myself into due to said condition. My condition is brought on […]
The Scent of a [Pregnant] Woman.
I smell a poopy diaper. In my kitchen. Not just any poopy diaper. A NEWBORN’S poopy diaper. How is that possible? And where is the smell coming from? I never had psychotic scent episodes when I was pregnant with Ali. In fact, I remember thinking that my friend Lydia was a bit…over the pregnancy edge… […]
The Magical Smoothie.
I’m a smoothie connoisseur. Fruit only – no milk or yogurt. Whether I’m making my own, buying them from the only Smoothie shop I deem acceptable (Planet Smoothie), or getting lucky and getting a really good one at some random place, there’s no greater joy than a good smoothie. But no smoothie that I’ve ever […]
