Ummm...the image of you cleaning out your warm freezer just about made me barf. Only because I can totally visualize what kind of disgusting sludge I would find in mine if that happened. It would be a nuclear waste site.
I still have like 10 pounds of breastmilk in little plastic baggies all over the bottom of my freezer (underneath the 3 year old meat, stale bread, ravioli, frozen soups, beans, etc and other random meals I didn't enjoy the first time but that I can't ever bear to throw away so I freeze it in hopes that maybe I'll want to eat it next year after it's gotten freezer burn and turned a strange shade of puke green) because when Diego finally started nursing right and I didn't need it, I could only make so many trips to the dumpster with my own breastmilk before I felt like I might kill someone with a breastpump. Or something. Yeah, the breast milk donation people don't want your milk if it wasn't directly pumped into their own special containers. That was dissapointing.
Anyway, sorry you had to spend Xmas even with fish juice in your hair. But hey, great story. You certainly made me feel much better about having to eat cow intestine soup at my in-laws tomorrow. At least I don't have to prepare it myself.
Domesticity Is A Bitch
Christmas week has been a blur and I have been in a sugar induced haze that I can’t seem to snap myself out of now that it’s over. I don’t have any plans for New Years, my house is still trashed, and our tree devoid of ornaments from the bottom 1/3 is still erect in our living room. We host Chr...
"As soft as a newborn Bieber." Now that's classic.
Broke'n Wallet
On Black Friday, I did my time. I shopped with the masses, stood in mile long lines, and may have cut a bitch who tried to take the last pair of over the calf gold toe dress socks because Craig’s body will physically reject anything costing over $8.99. Though the rash he develops is nasty, it’...
Dude. I HATE beets. I would have died if I had been served that salad. Or killed the waiter. One or the other. On another note, your description of your false eyelashes just about had me choking to death on this piece of banana bread here. I can totally imagine what I would look like if I let my husband even try to apply my blush, much less false eyelashes. But you looked really pretty in the photos. I think you exaggerated!
Girls Night AKA Shit I Wouldn't Attempt With Hank
Last weekend, Sophie, Maren, and I had the opportunity to see the Oregon Ballet Theater’s final dress rehearsal of The Nutcracker. We were invited by my friend Heather who brought her daughter Simone. I may have mentioned before, but I am half assed when it comes to planning and forethough...
The image of a 911 operator putting me on hold to finish a burrito makes me laugh! You are hilarious. Sorry about Hank! My little Diego is just like him. He is forever getting himself into some kind of trouble. Not too long ago he fell into our piano bench while just standing still (????) and had to get stitches right above his eye. I was just glad he didn't lose an eyeball. PS I also love the image of you putting on a bra and being overdressed in the ER. But you are so right on. I know this from WAY too much personal experience. Unfortunatley.
Hank Needs A Helmet With A Chin Guard
I was a working mom for the first 8 years I was a mother. I worked shitty hours as a 911 dispatcher which was the biggest reason I decided to turn in my headset in favor of a job with equally shitty hours. My 10+ years of emergency training really does come in handy all the damn time. I jus...
OMG. All those photos are the best. But my fave is the one of your hubs with ME SO HORNY at the bottom. You must post that to his FB page.
Antlers Up
My last minute entry into the Great Antler contest is not a competitive tactic to win. Normally I don’t participate in reindeer games. However, I have a soft spot for KLZ over at Taming Insanity. Also, I figured if Lori could put antlers on her cat, I could surely trick my 2 small kids, an ey...
I want half a dozen t-shirts and a whoopee cushion.
Capitalising on confessions
You know the phrase "A funny thing happened on the way to the forum"? Yes? Well, aside from the fact that is actually the title of a musical comedy, it has been playing in my head this past week. Let me recap. At the start of the week my new boss, the Charming Frenchman, called me into his offi...
I am so glad that I don't have to work at an office anymore. Cuz I would have a heck of a time trying to get out of my stained PJs every day, brushing my teeth, and not checking my FB status every five minutes. Because I got important stuff going on on the FB like always, ya know what I mean?
Going in to battle with a creative plan
Almost three weeks in with the new job and I am quietly pleased with my overall assessment of the team so far. Sitting down with my boss and one of my peers to review the analysis I have made of each individual on a snapshot spreadsheet (three categories entitled: key expertise, challenge, new r...
