vacation is coming!!!! FFFIIINNNAAALLLYYYY!!!!

My time in the sun is about to arrive. Perhaps I will bask in my cancer free skin underneath the glowing sun (protected by SPF 55, of course!). Perhaps I will enjoy dip after dip into the pool in the back yard of the house I am staying at for ONE WHOLE GLORIOUS WEEK. Perhaps I will enjoy all the family that I have missed dearly-- and have not seen in two years!! Perhaps I will do all of the above in my MUCH DESERVED vacation.

We are going to NC for a grand family reunion with the Seeholzers & Co. Drew may not be able to stay the whole time (which is double the usual sadness-- our anniversary lies in that same week!), however, his mother has graciously demanded me to stay the entire time. I think she wants to show off that fantastic grandchild of hers. I have graciously accepted her requests. I have not been on a vacation in two years-- since the honeymoon. Since I have been staying at home, a week of needing sunny bliss has been coursing through my veins. I need some socialization. I need some rays. I need some different environments. I need some new excitement!!!


I cannot wait. Vacation, I will appreciate you as nobody has appreciated you before. That is a promise.

a dog that is scared of the tub?

so my precious dog is scared of the tub. Don't ask why, he just doesn't like it. He loves pools and garden hoses, but TUBS? nope. So today I decide to keep him inside the bathroom while I head to Laurels for a visit because he is way too big for the dog cage that we have. What do I come back to? A half eaten bar of soap and a hair covered tub. This wacko dog decides that he loves the tub after his hateful past relationship and sleeps in there for most of the morning. I think that I have found my solution to wanting to get rid of the black cage that ruins the decor of my usually spotless living room... well... minus the random toddler toys and raw hide.....

www.textsfromlastnight.com is hilarious.

This is still making me laugh like two hours after I read it.....


"(586): Spraying perfume on pants makes them clean right?"

I love pools!!!!

I have not had access to a pool in years. I miss the smell of chlorine. I miss the green tinge it gave my hair. I miss the dark tan I would get due to long tuesday afternoons at my granny and pop pop's house. I miss the fun we used to have with my cousins over there before they moved to connecticut. *le sigh!*

So, I am doing the poor man's version of a pool in the back yard. I purchased AJ a blow up pool and an electric air pump so that it will be easy to take down once he is done playing.

I never knew how multi-purposed pools could be.... we blew it up yesterday and kept it empty due to chilly weather. He absolutely loved it! He would run around and hit the sides like he was a pinball and bounce all around! I must do this more! Whenever I start making any kind of money I want to purchase balls to turn it into a ballpit on rainy days. What do you think?! Are there any more fun things you can think of to do with an inflatable pool???

China + Suppressed Society = Sex Theme Park!!!!!

Now, being a follower of wacky news, I came about this story about China opening its first "sexually explicit" theme park. It is called "Love Land" (not to be confused with one of Michael Jackson's places!!) and I totally want to go. Something about sitting on a Penis Bench and playing games that end with mannequins in humerous and numerous sexual positions and washing your hands on top of somebody's BOOTY totally calls my name.

To check out the story, go to http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,520290,00.html

Am I a pervert? No, I don't think so. Curious enough to google about Love Land while my son has glorious amounts of snot running down his nose? YES. Now that snot is on my sweat pants and I am still smiling at the thoughts of the not so hot Kama Sutra statues of overweight women and somewhat hairy men.....

Google it. You know you want to.

I feel like crappity bappity....

My jaw feels like its been wired shut and has been for about 3 days now. It is raining outside and AJ doesn't have a rain jacket. My head feels like a bottle of burbon has been IVed into my blood stream. (and I didn't drink yesterday!) My kid has this fantastic high pitched scream he does now whenever he doesn't get his way. And my house smells like a mix between dog food and Scott's farts. Delicious.

A fine way to start a weekend!!

So yesterday I was expecting an airplane to fall into my roof. It was one of those days. You know-- one of those dryer is broken, kids are screaming, head is pounding, poop out of pants (TWICE!!!), routine is messed up completely, hand got bitten kind of days. There were so many delightful things that went wrong with my day yesterday that I can't even remember.

However, in the light of it all it ended gracefully and wonderful. My brother and sister in law came over last night and we partied a poor man's party with tacos, miller lights, and some upper class woodchucks thrown in the mix. We laughed, got exasperated with the world, and just had some great conversation. I don't know about you, but in my opinion that is so much better than any money spent on an extravagant night out I ever have!!

And today, I think it is going to be a stay in your pjs until one, finish the book I'm reading, NOT WORK OUT kind of day. We were going to go over to my fantastic Granny's house today so that Drew could do some painting, however the rain that attributes to my head pounding is putting that off until further notice. Mmmmmmm..... what more relaxation can I endure today??? I may even have a bath......
