because

the blogging desire isn't burning within me very much anymore. but i feel the need to post something.

hip=hard

as you may know, i'm on a quest for ultimate hip-ness. which explains why i joined a gym. cause all the hip kids are doing it. but to reach ultimate hip-ness i had to go a step further, and hire a personal trainer. and by "hire a personal trainer" i mean "personal trainer sessions are free for the month of may." so my friend and i set up a session for tonight at 8 pm. one problem. one very serious problem. one horrible mistake made by me.
tonight...at 8 pm....is the season premier....of the best-show-ever! (and i dont get dvr until next week!)


take a lot back at last seasons sneak peak to remember some of the grea times.


i can't believe i'm going to miss it. being hip is hard

shop happy

there are 3 main reasons why i like grocery shopping at bloom.

3. they have parking right up front marked as "quick 20 minute shopping" and "shoppers with children" which FINALLY applies to me!
2. they sent us 5 coupons for 5 weeks. $10 off a $25 or more purchase.
1. they have the most awesome commercials.
here's my top 3






you have no idea how hard it was for me to just pick 3.

in the words of the pointer sisters...

i'm so excited!! and i just can't hide it!
first of all, i'm posting from a new computer!! you have NO idea how great it is to be able to post and not have to restart the computer 5 times in the process of writing my blog. not to mention the computer is upstairs now, so i don't have to go down to the igloo basement and risk losing any limbs to frost bite. when shad called me last week and said he was on his way to buy the computer, it was a lot more exciting than when he called me to ask me how long to microwave a hot pocket.

but even more exciting! i get to go home to SC in a week and a half!! my mom called me and was all "hey, come visit." and i was all "hey! ok!" i'm so excited to go home and see my family. and i'm especially excited that it's soon!

and hey, speaking of the pointer sisters, you wanna know what my favorite pointer sisters song is?



which then reminds me of when the folks in the movie "young @heart" performed it. haven't seen that movie yet? seriously, what are you waiting for?!


rent it! ASAP!

but seriously

i've gotta give it to corn. they are trying really hard to get people to eat foods with high fructose corn syrup. but let's be honest...how many of us would have had this conversation on a date...with these "facts"?



i wish i could have found the one with the two teenage boys. it's much better.

wmd and date night

as you all may know by now (and if not you can read HERE) LoW and i are in the midst of a civil war. so in an effort to keep her off of my land (ie. blog) i'm bringing out the big guns. LoW hates when people post pictures of feet. so i've gone one up and posted a whole video of feet. that should keep her away for awhile.

now that that's taken care of...

the plan: secretly find a babysitter for little j.t. so i could take shad on a date with just the two of us.

the problem: my friend who offered to do the job got sick.

the solution: my nice cousin, chris, was completely willing (thank goodness!)

i told shad not to make plans saturday night. (not that he would have any other plans.) we left the house with little j.t. and drove over to my cousins house. along the way he was asking if we were going somewhere that he had to be social (heaven forbid) or if we were going out with my cousins. so i dropped off little j.t. at my cousins house and we were on our way. but my mind was full of thoughts.

"what if he starts crying and crying and is so upset and there's no one familiar around to comfort him and he won't stop crying. and then he won't eat and then he keeps on crying and is inconsolable and chris is miserable the whole time?!?!" what if? what if? what if?

he was completely fine the whole time. in fact, he didn't even miss us!!

and shad and i were able to "enjoy" our fuddruckers. (the place i refuse to go any other time because i don't like their food and that is still the way i feel) and we were able to do it with no fussy baby who we'd have to keep putting a pacifier in his mouth. and we didnt have to eat as fast as possible. in fact we were able to just sit there after we were done eating.

it was great. i've mentioned before that my parents instilled in me the importance of still dating after you are married...and i believe in that now more than ever!

the end of an era

well, LoW has made no effort to come to a truce and take my suggestion (and others) of us doing a video together. which i think would be best for all involved. so it looks like this war we are waging won't be ending. it's sad. she's been more than a sister, she's also been a friend. but no more.

so i've made this video in mourning...in loving memory of what used to be, but is no more.
