I'm Flexible...

The fact that I can go from this To this In a matter of minutes either proves either that I'm an amazingly versatile human being... ...or that I'm a complete slob. As you struggle with making this decision, please notice the fact that the toenails have been addressed with a splash of color. (However don't look too closely because in one they are professionally painted and in the other they have had hasty close encounter with a pair of dull nail clippers and a bottle of Revlon after an early morning shower.) Yes, for all you alert people out there --be alert, the world needs more lerts-- these pictures were in fact taken at different times...but the transformation from professional-looking woman to take-out-the-garbage, iron-the-clothes, and mop-the-floor, Cinderella, happens in real time everyday. So...am I: a. Versatile and Amazing? b. A slob? (Please be gentle with your comments, I am also highly emotional... ...but that's another post)

Sometimes you CAN tell what I'm thinking...

 Look what the brats kids whipped up for breakfast the other morning--homemade crepes with real whipped cream and fresh fruit!  Don't they look fattening decadent? While I applaud their initiative, I find it mean ironic that they never made these for breakfast before I was told I was allergic to wheat, dairy and fresh fruit.  Yes, I sadly munched on my hypoallergenic rice cakes with tahini and raspberry jam while they gorged indulged enjoyed every lovin' mouthful.  But it's okay, I'm not upset because these sadistic creative children of mine continue to torture amaze me everyday with their natural talents. Just look at this one my darling daughter stuffing her ever loving piehole enjoying this friggin' wonderful crepe.  Enjoy baby...may it all land on your hips you and your siblings develop food allergies continue to be creative and passionate about all things culinary.

Rhetorical Rhetoric...

Here are some giggles for your day:  I can't take credit for any of these--they are from some one else's crazee mind--however the ones about lethal injections and evolution have crossed through the cavernous synaptic chasms of my brain before.... If you throw a cat out a car window, does it become kitty litter? If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? When the snow melts, where does the white go?  Is it OK to use the AM radio after noon? What do chickens think we taste like? What do people in China call their good plates? What do you call a male ladybug? What hair color do they put on the drivers license of a bald man? When dog food is new and improved tasting, who tests it? When they first invented the clock, how did they know what time it was to set it? Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections? Do infants enjoy infancy as much as adults enjoy adultery? How is it possible to have a civil war? I f one synchronized swimmer drowns, do the rest...

You're never going to believe this...

I bought an IRON! Okay, c'mon, pick yourself up off the floor, dust yourself off and finish reading my blog... Yes, I bought an IRON! And what's more amazing is that I USED IT! What brought about this transformation you may ask? This did: This little baby uses steam to make your clothes wrinkle free and, YOU ONLY HAVE TO IRON ONE SIDE and the other side gets pressed too! What busy working mom doesn't need one of these? Tonight I ironed 2 baskets full of clothes (t-shirts, pajama bottoms, and sweat shirts) in less than one hour. If I sound like an infomercial it's because I listened to the lady at the Home Show booth for about 20 minutes--and watched her iron sequinced tops, lingerie, clothes with iron ons, wool suit jackets and 8 table napkins at one time--and talked to 3 or 4 people who already owned one and asked them all kinds of questions before I finally broke down and bought one. And, because I was one of the first 20 people to buy (yeah, that'...

Let me tell you a little story about a baby and her struggle to make it through the first few weeks of her life. This little girl came into the world pink and healthy looking, sucking her thumb, and very calm. A little too calm actually. As she laid sprawled out on the bassinet (all 22.5 inches of her) where the newborns are taken for their APGAR test sucking her fingers and looking around, it immediately became apparent by the look on the doctor's face that there was a problem with this little girl. She had a major congenital heart defect. That little girl went on to have open heart surgery at 5 days of age, almost died 3 times on the operating table, and was in ICU for almost a month. When she was released from the hospital (at over 2lbs off her birth weight) the doctors told the family that she would have learning disabilities, difficulty with her fine motor skills and that the family should be extremely vigilant with identifying and addressing any concerns with her d...

Questions for God...and Lionel Ritchie

Why can't we see color in the dark? I know the scientific explanation regarding the rods and the cones but I'm just wondering 'why' You didn't want us seeing color in the dark? Dust. Why?  Outside is fine but IN MY HOUSE?  I don't understand. Earthquakes. When will the 'big' one hit us? Why mosquitoes? When You made the aardvark, were you in a silly mood?  How about snakes? Stone Henge and Easter Island. How did they do it? Crop circles. Just someone having fun with us or something more? Why did chocolate have to be the fattening food? Couldn't tofu have been the one? Why does my heart hurt when I think of someone I love? Why do I cry when I laugh, or when I am happy? PMS. Really?! I believe You have a sense of humour or else you wouldn't have given us one, so I ask did You enjoy this cartoon? Is there a doggy heaven? If so, can you please say hi to Tymbur from me and tell her that I miss her.... On Judgement...
