fun. crazy. life.

My friend - who knows my weakness for baby giggles - sent me this. So funny.

I just spent way too much time reorganizing my playlists and adding some new music. Is having 3.7 days worth of music on my iPod slightly obsessive? Because I don’t think so. Because there’s still more music that I could add.

Speaking of i-pods, what do you all think of the new iPod Touch? I don’t think I like it.

I’ve been tagged by DCRmom for a clothing meme.  I’m supposed to name five of my clothing pet peeves.1) Pants with pleats.  Not a good look for anyone. Add tapered legs and watch me gag.

2) When you buy something super cute, wear it, wash it… and its never the same again. Clothing needs to be washable!! Hello!

3) Maternity pants with panels that reach up to your neck. And maternity shirts that aren’t long enough. I end up wearing a large to cover my belly, but then they rest of the shirt is ridiculously huge.

4) Visible underwear. Th0ngs peeking out of jeans. Straps peeking out of shirts. And good heavens, black bra under a white shirt?!? Seriously!??!?!

5) Designers who are trying to bring back 80s fashion. Can we all just agree it was an unfortunate mistake and move on??

Okay, now it’s your turn.  Share.  What are your clothing pet peeves???  I tag fancythis, lemons, Beth.  And anyone else who wants to play!

One of my favorite pretend cyber-girfriends, Christie, has kindly bestowed on me the “Nice Blogger” Award. She clearly was not sitting behind me in the food court at the mall today when Ellie dropped her entire plate of pizza upside-down on the floor and then split her entire drink ten minutes later.
Anyway, I get to pass the love on to three other bloggers!
First, it has to be Musings of a Housewife, since she is a real-life girlfriend and is awfully nice. Her blog shows her to be a living example of Biblical womanhood and she is super cute and funny to boot. And her new blog design matches my favorite purse. Which has nothing to do with being nice, but I thought I’d mention it anyway.
Second is Jenny at Chased by Children. She’s a new bloggity find and I just love her! She has three little princesses and a great sense of humor. If you haven’t been to her blog yet, by all means  hurry over!!
And thirdly is Mostly, I’m Tired. This mama has four kids (including twins) and still finds time for sharing honest and hilarious stories on her blog!

So pass on the bloggy love, Ladies! Nominate three nice bloggers of your very own and keep the nice ball rolling.

Ten Commandments*

I think everyone should have to follow these. Along with the real ones, of course.

1. Thou must not goith off to bed with dirty dishes in the sink or cluttered counters.
2. Thou must taketh off thy shoes when thou enters my dwelling.
3. Thou must not come in the door and dump thy crap all over the table or kitchen counter. Unless thou wishest to see my head explode.
4. Thou must not wake up Mommy between 2am and 5am. (See old proverb: Do not poke a sleeping dragon.)
5. Thou must not drive down the road/highway with thy blinker on. When thou hast no intention of turning in any direction anytime soon.
6. Thou must never return a phone call with an email or text message. ‘Tis very rude.
7. Thou must use spell check when available. A blog is not a text message.
8. Thou must not click “reply all” to an email unless it is absolutely, completely and utterly necessary.
9. Thou must not flip through the tv channels for more than 5 minutes. After that, for Pete’s sake, thou must pick something already!!
10. When I am drinking Diet Coke or coffee with Splenda, thou must not 1)say “Thou wilst get cancer.” 2) tell me reasons why it is so very very bad for thou. 3) Roll thy eyes. ‘Tis not thy business what I drink.

*Can you tell I just finished reading Deuteronomy?

I was tagged by LifeLemons, so here goes folks:

You must reveal nine things about yourself and one must be a lie…. Humm. In honor of me going on vacation, I will do travel-themed factoids.

1. I have only had food poisoning once while traveling. After eating at a Pizza Hut in Shanghai.

2. I’ve had many, many marriage proposals while traveling.

3. I’ve had my hands and feet decorated with henna in Pakistan. It looked kinda like this.

4. Besides toilets and the great outdoors, I’ve also mastered a squatty potty, even using a bathroom that was a hole in the floor of a moving train.

5. I’ve illegally entered a country.

6. I have eaten snake, turtle, jelly fish and dog. All in the same meal.

7. I had my butt pinched so often while shopping in a bazaar that my mother-in-law had to walk right behind me.

8. I’ve never gotten sick on an airplane.

9. I’ve swam in the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian oceans.

Okay, now it is your turn to figure out my lie, good luck!
