Well, It's Monday again. Why does a perfectly good weekend have to be ruined by the realization that the alarm clock has went off yet again and that it's time to get back to the daily grind. Grrr....weekends should be longer!.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.
Stylish Grandfathers
I was reminded this morning of a conversation that my aunt and I had about my great-grandfather a few weeks ago. We were shopping and saw a display of Dickies coveralls and I commented on how I couldn't believe they were stylish. I told her that if he was still alive he'd be all pimped out. She almost spit out her drink. LOL!

Infomercials
Last night, LittleMan fell asleep and I started paying attention to the TV because he was asleep on my arm and I couldn't move. If I move during the first 10-15 minutes of his sleep, he'll be up again and I'm screwed. So, I was stuck with what was on TV, which was an infomercial. This has got to be the lowest of all infomercial lows. It was an infomercial on the PickADilly Cafeteria. Can you believe it? Are they that hard up for people to graze in the pasture of cafeteria food?
There were these lovely couples talking about how it was a balanced meal and they ate take out nearly 3 times a week! Please! Then the Barker's Beauties reject hostess starts motioning with her ungodly hot pink manicured nails toward plates of artery clogging goodness. She starts interveiwing a manager who tells how everything is fresh, blah, blah, and then describes a bowl of fruit salad as looking "delectible". I can totally see the producers prepping him for this.... "de-lect-i-ble". No, no...say it like this "de-lect-i-ble". He looked stiffer than the starched jeans one of my college chemistry professors wore every day to school. It was horrible!
Then, the chef comes on and talks about how he is a third generation chef and is always trying new recipes for the company. Yeah, right...the first step of these recipes reads...(1) Thaw out the processed chicken patty....
Anyway, I'm apalled that the world which formerly belonged to the AbRoller, the Thighmaster, and timeshares has reverted to this. And if they think the bleached blond chick with day-glo nails sold me on PickADilly, they can think again!

Three Things
Today I want to hear you admit three things that you do that you thought you'd never ever do...
Mine:
(1) Use off brand diapers
(2) Go to town without washing my hair and putting on makeup
(3) Have a blog
Have a good day! |
~IntrO~
Melissa-Mom to LittleMan (4/04); wife to LuckyHusband; full-time toxicologist; full-time housekeeper; full-time domestic laundromat manager (washes all the clothes); full-time domestic finance manager (pays all the bills and yells at husband for spending too much money on fishing stuff); and Keeper of the Cheerios. Lives in a tiny town; spends tons of time with family; reads; enjoys crafts. Can change a diaper, fill a sippy cup, and put on a toddler's shoes in 15.4 seconds flat, all while calculating the impact of petroleum hydrocarbons to a nearby surface water body (watch for me in the Toddler Olympics on CBS this fall). Addicted to Dr. Pepper; Kit Kats; and pasta. To spot me in a crowd: I'm the one with frizzy messed-up hair, smeared graham crackers on my shirt; huge purse with a diaper peeking out, toddler on her hip, and camera in hand at all times.
