This Week In....
Friday, May 30, 2008 at 12:27PM | Mr Lady
This week in I Sure Fooled Them: The terribly funny and hysterically witty husband and wife team at Are We There Yet? have asked little ol' me to join them on their podcast this evening. Apparently, they think I'm insiteful or funny or somethin'. I'll show them. 10pm Eastern. You can call in here, I think. Or read it here. Be there or be watching Lost on TiVo.
This week in Shameless Plugs: StarkRavingDads is really fun, and we really like doing it, and we're running out of questions. The floor is open to moms. Pay us a visit, would ya? We try to post every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Help a sista out.
This week in A Trip Down Amnesia Lane: Ever heard of x365? You write something once a day about people you've met. I'm doing a photo/haiku study. It's wickedly awesome, and I am participating at my Cre8Buzz Blog.
This week in Is It September Yet?: If that wasn't the best, most fucking up, least informative yet most informative Lost the world has ever known, I don't know what is. Screw summer; I need answers, dammit. (I've got it DVR'd if you need a copy.)
This week in Well, THAT paid off nicely: The hell that is Little League is still going strong (2 weeks left, yo) but 1of3's team won the Rookie Championship this weekend. By 10-1 in the final game. I don't think I have ever been so proud.
This week in Still Not Sure it Was Worth It: The sunburn I got while watching my kid crush the competition? The good news is, I no longer look exactly like a tomato. The bad news? I now look like a tomato with leprosy. Peeling sucks.
This week in See? TOLD YOU SO: There's all this hubub about BPA leaching into baby bottles, and yes, I am as concerned as the next mom, but I'm not, really. Even though Canada is recalling Avent bottles, even though that dreaded Cancer word is getting thrown about, I never got my panties in a ruffle. I've had kids for 10 years, yo. I've been through my share of Doomsday Fads. First it was the Nasty Chemicals in Johnson's Shampoo. Then it was Soy Formula Destroying Sperm Counts. Then it was Anti-Bacterial Everything (and don't even get me started on THAT bullshit.) This struck me as one of them. Turns out, that BPA that evil, naughty Zeut Avent has been shoving down our precious kids' throats has been present for a LONG time in, well, a shitton of other stuff. Click the chart to enlarge. Your chicken noodle soup is doing a lot more damage than your bottles. Tomato sauce? THE ANTI-CHRIST. Read the CTV article here. And then draw your own conclusions.
This week in gas: My toddler has learned a fun new trick. The Fake Burp. Ah, the joys of having older brothers. I have a video, but it really didn't turn out. Trust me, it's the funniest shit you'd ever see. Arrrrrrrrgh! Eh-sscuse Me!
This week in ridiculous wastes of money: We bought a new couch this week, which should arrive sometime today. After a few years of 5 people and one 3 seater couch, we bit the bullet and got a sectional. It's leather. And CREAM. I give it 10 minutes before the kids completely ruin it.
This week in Missing: Reward for Information Leading to the Safe Return Of: This week, I also bought a dress. A sundress. A hot pink sundress. And I really LIKE it. Who are you and what have you done with Mr Lady?
This week in straight up brain poison: Richard Marx songs have been stuck in my head all week. I blame NukeDad, who started my whole chain of crappy 80's music obsessing with this little nugget. Again, click to enlarge. And spit coffee all over your monitor.

Oh, sure, you have to put a damper on my getting a night out tonight by going and having a podcast when I can't listen! *sigh*
My ex-father-in-law once did a cartoon that said "It's the cages that are giving mice cancer." I totally give up.

You better post a picture of you in that cute little dress so that we know you are, in fact, a woman. Okay, so the pictures give it away, but still. I like looking at people who look better in cute little dresses than I do. Gives me inspiration and stuff.
A podcast? Wow. Makes perfect sense. A new career maybe . . .
I went to the Richard Marx concert . . . in 1990. He was so cool back then . . . fluffy mullet. Leather jacket. HAWT . . .

Oh, what a great idea! Do you mind, and please tell me you don't, if I do the 365 People thing on MY cre8buzz blog, too? I love the idea, and think it would be great fun, but I don't want to be too much a copycat. Oh, and yeah, we gotta see the dress. And another oh yeah, congrats on getting invited to do the podcast thing; I, sadly, will be unable to "attend," because I will be at AA trying to get through another day without slugging down a bottle of vodka. But I will be SO with you in spirit. :)

YOU MADE ME A GIRL, TOO.

Thanks for the shout out! I think I have a copy of "Rush Street" on 8 track if you need it. And, congratulations on being the COACH of the Championship Team! They couldn't have done it without you!

Holy shiznit ....what if I really put my favorite color in your little questionnaire you have going on up here? It's pink for the record. And turquoise. And blue. Oh wait...I have lots of favorites. And, guess what. The whole comment I had lined up? I forget now. Thanks. Oh, it was going to be something along the lines that I had another question for Stark Raving Dads. But, I forgot that too. I rock. :)

Ok, so Lost killed me last night. I think I might just have to watch it again tonight. Aaaack!
And, the sundress? Gonna look amazing with that tan you'll be sporting once the peeling stops. I knew there was a girl in there - how else would you know how to apply purple eyeshadow?

Hot pink? Didn't you make pancakes the other week? Weren't you ironing or something domestic like that a while back? What's gotten into you?!
Loved LOST. Hated LOST. Didn't really know what to do once it was over, and so I sat on the couch and contemplated theories. It's mind-breaking.
