And now for the fluff
May 12th, 2008 by mr lady
Well, that was enough seriousness to last me a lifetime. Moving on…
What happens when you plan a Mother’s Day outing for the family including Robert Downey Jr., your entire family, including one toddler, at just about exactly naptime? You get to stay home with the pissy toddler while your boys go drool over Robert for two hours. I am just guessing here, but I’d bet his dreaminess was slightly lost on them.
Definitely long. Potentially worth it. Iron Man would’ve been almost as awesome.

What happens when you drag two of your blogmomma friends downtown for dinner and drinks, and go somewhere you’ve never been before but you hear is pretty good? You end up in jeans and tshirts in a restaurant where they are, at a moments notice, prepared to serve The Queen with almost no transition, where they have warmed handtowels instead of paper towels and French imported rosemary handsoap that smelled like heaven and cost about as much in the washroom, where not one thing on the menu has less than 6,000 ingredients, and the tell you every single one of them, THREE TIMES OVER, where you have to check your wallet to be sure you brought enough cash to be allowed to walk in the front door, where you sit with two good friends and gigglegigglegiggle anyway and magically forget that you landed in perhaps the wrongest place you possibly could have because you picked the right people to spend your Mother’s Day with. Oh, and you eat ridiculously tasty food.
Most importantly, do you know what happens when you send your husband to the grocery store at 10 a.m. on Mother’s Day morning because you forgot something for the crepes? This happens. And it was the best present ever.*
*The picture, pervs, getting the PICTURE was the best present ever. Sheesh.

[Mr Lady] That was about as many words as I could muster, too.
Your fluff is great.

Damn! You should have reminded me to visit the ladies’ room while were there - I feel like I missed out! Next time! (cuz there will be a next time, trust me)
Latte Mommy’s last blog post..When Tighty Whities Go Bad
[Mr Lady] Next time, we all go to the washroom and maybe even sit at a TABLE. Ooooo.
I’m just jealous about all the girls who are going out with you left and right. Huckdoll, too? Be still my heart.
Deb (Missives From Suburbia)’s last blog post..Good Friends
[Mr Lady] I’m kinda trampy like that.
Love your fluff!!!
Jen-The Mom’s last blog post..Quick Get Me My Claritin!
[Mr Lady] The marshmellow kind is still better, though.
I’m just going to do you a favor and lie to you that Robert Downey Jr did not look better than he ever has and he was not insanely buff or hilarious, in fact the movie sucked. There is my Mother’s Day present to you.
amy’s last blog post..A Memo
[Mr Lady] You are a true friend, and are going to heaven.
OMG, the imagery of you in jeans and a t-shirt at an uppity restaurant just made me love you all the more. (And your serious post, too. Just so you know.)
Loralee’s last blog post..Sideblog: Alltop
[Mr Lady] Three words. PTA. Boobie. Shirt.
Dude, dude, DUDE — so e.n.v.i.o.u.s. !! I’m sure you all had a grand time. I had a lovely day, actually, but grown-up time with fabulous mommies? I do miss that.
Also, your new look rocks the house. Love the banner. (And thank you for doing black-on-white type. I know it was all for my sensitive wittle eyes…
MommyTime’s last blog post..Why You Should Know (and Love) Kirtsy
[Mr Lady] You were discussed. ONE of us is holding off on procreation in hopes of one drunken week with you. Book a ticket, woman!
so much to say. first off, LM is totally right. I didn’t pee because why?!
one: i’m so glad i spent my night with you guys, even if in jeans and tank top and ratty (aka trusty) cardi. i need MORE. (with cheesecake) two: isobel WILL NOT stop asking for you, by my name. three: i was totally blow away by 3of3s multiculturalism. four: so was isobel, and then she busted out a “insert 3of3s name here paint woho! BYE BYE 3of3!”
what’s with the memories on these spawns?
zoeyjane’s last blog post..The Future
[Mr Lady] Dora, dude. All Dora. Tell Isobel that (your name) says hi!
ROFL! My birthday this year? Making crepes and forgetting to buy something for the crepes
Sandy (Momisodes)’s last blog post..I Quit
[Mr Lady] Naughty, naughty, Sandy!
Mmm hmm, I’m suuuure the whipped cream was for the crepes. Suuure.
That sucks that you didn’t get to see Iron Man, it is really good
[Mr Lady] *giggle* That’s all.
Yumm!
Except I think you forgot to take the blue sticker (price tag?) off his forehead…
Happy Mothers Day - what a great present!
daysgoby’s last blog post..mothers day
[Mr Lady] Yeah, that’s the light fixture, honey.
I’d consider renting him out if the price was right, though. Opening bids?
Restaurant looks good. Did you have the duck? It can be tough, but when prepared correctly, dee-lish.
Matt’s last blog post..RedSparks Baby Gift Giveaway
[Mr Lady] Um, yes, actually I did. And now I am afraid of you and your mad psychic skilz.
Seriously, you get to go out with blogger Mums? Oh the envy! I don’t even get to go out with non-blogger mums. Wait…I don’t think I have been out at all recently.
Sorry, whining in your comments.
Veronica’s last blog post..How To….Survive Bedtime
[Mr Lady] I think it’s time you joined civilization already, V.
Ok, creepy. Apparently Matt can read minds…
Latte Mommy’s last blog post..Pulling an Ostrich (not as dirty as it sounds…)
[Mr Lady] Even The Donor was a bit creeped out by that one.
10am? That coolwhip is for the crepes! I’m no perv……not now, anyway!
Hard to turn the tide, huh? From cataclysmic grief to joy? Man, you’re the maestro!
I have to ask, though…..Robert Downey, Jr…….I don’t see it. Tortured soul. Sure. Deep eyes? Yes. Ok. The eyes……
christy’s last blog post..“Lightness has a call that’s hard to hear”
[Mr Lady] Robert makes me want to use that Cool Whip in the biblical sense. I’m a weak woman.
Yeah, but did you get ninja? Huh? Did ya? I thought not…
I win.
But in reality I am just pissy that you got to go out with other bloggers… bloggers that were NOT ME!
Kelley’s last blog post..Unlike the Bloggess, I will give you ninja.
[Mr Lady] In spirit, Kelley. You’re always there in spirit.
Poor little 3of3. I’m sure she’s thinking ‘hey mom, the world knows i’m totally cute, why do you have to keep making me show off? Just wait’ll I’m old enough to get my hands on that camera and make you shake yo booty … in Spanish. Help me wash my hands already, my nose is trying to crawl off my face.’
Seriously, I love the way you turn her loose with the paint at every opportunity. For her next birthday get her a couple pieces of real canvas (it’s cheap) instead of the eggs. That way there’s a present for you too.
[Mr Lady] She has decided to ONLY paint on eggs. Thank you, Easter Bunny!
I went to see Robert Downey, Jr, I mean Ironman with LM - let me just say YUM or um, what a great movie!!
Sorry you missed out but the flowers and whipped cream - much better…right!?
[Mr Lady] Um, err…well,
no way!Of Course.Glad you had a wonderful Mother’s Day!
SherE1’s last blog post..Wanted: Parent
[Mr Lady] Me, too, sister. Someone would have been hurt otherwise.
Sounds fun, (kinda - I don’t think I could’ve afford that, ouch!) sorry I missed out.
Cactus Club anyone?
Huckdoll’s last blog post..Kicking Ass and Taking Names. Again.
[Mr Lady] I think we all agreed on Mad Dog in the alley next time.
Lol!! Awesomeness.
Ashley’s last blog post..Things I’ve made lately. As in, the past week?
[Mr Lady] It SO was.
He got you cheese in a can?
Xbox4NappyRash’s last blog post..I said ‘Nappy’, dammit
[Mr Lady] Cool Whip. And curse you…now I want cheese in a can. Mmmmm, spray cheese.
Yummmm. Oh wait. The whipped cream wasn’t the good part? Sorry but I couldnt see past it. I love sweets. I think I might need some right now actually. Yes, yes I do.
J’s last blog post..Some fun with Flickr
[Mr Lady] Cool Whip is ALWAYS the good part.
ohhh mama… sounds like either you had a GREAT mother’s day OR you husband tried to get Father’s Day early
Motherhood For Dummies’s last blog post..Simple Baby Quilt
[Mr Lady] Either way, still works out ok for me.
Too. Much. Love. For. You.
[Mr Lady] NEVER!
I have never seen cool whip in the can. YUM.
And I love baby girl talking in spanish to EIGHT.. I can’t even do that.
Kim’s last blog post..Sunday Snap Shots & a Virus
[Mr Lady] Dude, she can count to twenty in Spanish and thirty in English. Dora and temporary tattoos, that’s all you need to teach them stuff.
Good thing I’m not a bettin’ man. I would have gathered a bunch of us together to wager when that paint was going to get into the hair. She actually has very good keep-paint-out-of-her-hair-and-face skills (at least much improved since that blackface incident).
