I added a new feature to my blog that tells me from what city people are coming to visit my blog. It's kind of fun. ...aaaand little unnerving. New Zealand? Tennessee? Michigan? I know nobody from those places. Blog-stalking is becoming a world-wide pandemic. Yea!
Note to all moms with elementary school-aged children: Cupcakes are the WORST birthday treat you can bring to school. Especially big giant ones with neon-colored frosting 3 inches high. You know, the kind with the rings on top? Do you want to know what kids do with the cupcakes you send? They put the gross, sticky, frosting-encrusted ring on their finger, eat the 3 inches of frosting off the top and throw the rest away. Here's a tip from me to you. The next time your child has a birthday, just send your child to school with some cheap plastic rings from your local party store and a bag of frosting. I'll put the rings on their fingers and then squirt the frosting into their mouths as they walk out the door at the end of the day. Everybody's happy!
Zack and I have decided that Friday night is our "get the house cleaned and in order" night and Saturday is our day for fun. Tonight Zack offered me this "deal" in regards to cleaning the house: I straighten up the house (takes all of about 20 minutes) and write a blog while he gives the puppies baths and mops the great room. It's grossly unfair, but it's his way of saying thank you for all I've done to help him during this past week at work. I had a hard time saying "No" when he gave me those puppy dog eyes and said, "Pleeeease can I give the puppies baths and mop the floor? Pleeease???" Who has a husband like that? :)
I just love how the word "intolerance" has evolved into meaning "you don't think the same way I do." Or as Zack refers to it, "Hey, Jerk, why don't you like what I like?"
We recently bought cross-country skis. I'm really stoked about going up to the cabin and trying them out soon. Really. Stoked.
Two of my most favorite songs from childhood are "I Guess That's Why They Call It the Blues" by Elton John and "For the Longest Time" by Billy Joel. Seriously, whenever I hear those songs on the radio I grin like a maniac and belt them out at the top of my voice. And I feel like I'm 10 again. It's awesome.
I'm loving Mikes way of remembering things about products he's used. "Rhymes" he calls them. Like "Crest is not the best" and "Huggies are horrible." They totally work.

Huggies ARE horrible. And Cupcake cakes are worse than cupcakes, but both are pretty terrible.
AND how do you add a that thing that tells you where people who read your blog are from?
I saw it on someone else's blog and clicked on the "get FEEDJIT" link that's in the box.
Haha! Thanks for the tip! I think that will save me some $$$ too :)
You will be so proud of me: I made a vow after the first birthday party in Vicki's kindergarten class that I would never, EVER send those cupcakes to school with my kids. She came home licking the ring, with bright blue frosting all over her face, and I swore I would never subject any other parent to that. I hope their teachers appreciate me! :)
Oh, and I actually don't have any problem with Huggies, but I think Luvs are for Losers (couldn't think of anything else that fit in with Mike's method. I agree about the Crest, though.
Bless you, Alli!
And "Luvs are for Losers" is perfect. Now I have two brands of diapers I'll never buy. :)
Yes, I totally agree with the cupcake thing. I'm not a big fan of cake and I personally prefer just the frosting. However, I'm an adult and I need the cake to break up the frosting. Kids however, don't need the cake.
So, plastic rings and a little cup of white frosting with sprinkles and a spoon is what I'll take to school when my little boy has a birthday.
