Total Randomness (And a Review)

1. I just started a review blog. If for no other reason, go there to check out the oh-so-original title of said blog. (Seriously, your mind? IT WILL BE BLOWN.) And to say hi. Oh, and also to see my very first post, where I review Mr. Clean Magic Erasers for BlogHer. Yes, I was compensated, but I did Photoshop a picture to make me look like a housewife from the 1950's AND color on my beige walls to test their efficacy, so be a lamb, and go! Read!

2. It's official: I apparently cannot hear the song "Final Countdown" without gesticulating wildly and prancing about, a la Gob in Arrested Development. YES, EVEN IF WE'RE IN PUBLIC, PEOPLE. J is so lucky to be married to me.



3. I've seen this book twice in the past week. Mildly disturbing title, is it not? 4. You know what else is disturbing? That in the past week, I've had more than one person come to this blog looking for "Charlie Sheen barefoot." Are there fetishists for this? And if so, are they more turned on by the fact that it's Charlie Sheen, or the fact that he's barefoot? And I defy you to tell me which option is worse.

5. I mentioned it in the comments on my last post, but in case you missed it, thank you all so much for your suggestions on how to rid the car of the UNGODLY BARF STENCH.

6. Lo says hi, and to that she is a big fan of Grinning Widely. 7. T says he's going to keep touching the possibly malaria-carrying sprinkler with the sitting water and Mosquito Party USA every time we go to the park, and he doesn't care WHAT YOU THINK. And also, that he may or may not throw up in the car again when we're least expecting it. What part of "please stop touching the potentially malarial broken sprinkler" is so hard for toddlers to grasp? It's as if he's doing it on purpose, or something.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Do you hear Final Countdown a lot?

And, also, now that it is in my head, I am imagining myself singing and doing Gob-like moves tonight the SECOND I get a drop of alcohol in me.

My boyfriend is the LUCKIEST man alive!

Great review! Bebes are adorable, and your art work is magnifique (sp.?)!

Jesus can HAVE ALL OF ME - as long as he keeps creating people who create magical cleaning products! If you own a pool (which I know YOU don't Metalia, but some of your readers might), try it on your liner - no more "ring around the pool liner"!! and I am NOT getting paid to say this, like SOME people :-)

Lo's smile completely melted me.

I want to eat Lo up she's so adorbs. And T has the greatest little man haircut ever. Could your family BE any cuter?

#2 - ME TOO! I love that show, and that song ALWAYS makes me think of Gob...

When you hear "Final Countdown," you're supposed to prance around like that. It's like a unwritten rule for all Arrested Development fans.

That giant baby grin is AWESOME.

I don't know why your blog is attracting attention for this, but I'm pretty sure Charlie Sheen has some FUNKY NASTY toes and there are pics out there somewhere.

1. Why thank you, Metalia. I didn't have nearly enough unread posts in my feed reader already. No really. Thanks. (Love the 1950s housewife picture, by the way.)
3. Um, what?
4. And now that you've typed that, you will see hits for that every week from now on. Take it from the girl who mistakenly used the phrase "castrat!on stor!es" on her blog ONE time (and then made the mistake of commenting on the people searching for that thereafter). People are weird. That's all I have to say.
6. Could your kids be any cuter? I think not.

auntie said...

Oh my...you have The. Cutest. Children. Ever!!

Sarcasta-Mom said...

CUTE kids. Adsolutly nothing more adorable than a toothless baby grin.

Giselle said...

Final countdown is the ring tone for my cellphone. I love Gob. :)

Lo and T could not be cuter. I just want to squish them.

The Over-Thinker said...

Lo is SO stinkin' cute! (but not stinkin' like the car is you know whattamean..)

Now, where did I put my magic scarves...

Kristabella said...

Dude, Jesus, YOU CANNOT HAVE ME.

Your kids are just so adorable!
