my children now have colds...

it's just not a family event if there isn't some sort of dog pile...

Turning shirts into other shirts.

WARNING: this video contains me in a bra and cords at one point. Nothing bad but if you're of the uber modest variety and prefer to NOT see that don't press play!

(ok, also when i say "...night time shirt..." i mean like for going out dancing or on a 4th of july midnight date for fireworks, not like pajamas...also, sorry for being such a weirdo...)

 (dinner at sheep station...)

(and in the subway...)

For another post in the future - the shirt i'm wearing in this picture is actually a shirt i bought from goodwill or somewhere and am wearing upside down and haltertop fashion... I'll try to do step by step instructions on how to turn clothes into other clothes on the future post...

Ain't he beeeooootifoool?

It looks like he's wearing fishnets here, but it's actually just the shadow from the netting around the trampoline (which is where i'm taking the picture from)...

Our pre-dinner cabaret show... hehehe.

coming soon to a blogpost near you...

The girl-weekend in Brooklyn, NY.
It was very fantastic!!!! I almost felt childless again...

Belated Father's Day post

we had a very pleasant father's day. We spent the morning with my parents having brunch (omlets, bagels with cream cheese, smoked salmon, and capers, watermelon and berries right off the bushes) on the new deck. the afternoon with Ben's dad, and sister, and her husband. We went to get ice cream... we came home and Ben put his new grill to good use cooking up the tenderloin for this lovely taco salad. We ate dinner with my parents.

Hope everyone else's father's day was just as joyous and full of tasty treats!

He's cheating on me with twitter...

Ben has a secret twitter life. Well, not so much secret because i know about it. But i'm not allowed to follow him... i'm not allowed to know his account name or who he follows through that account... and I'm ok with this. or at least thought i was until recently. Now i'm feeling jealous of twitter...

She (twitter) makes him laugh. He spends every spare moment with her or thinking about something she said or thinking about what he's going to tell her next. Every night for hours he just stares at her. My children compete with her for their daddy's attention. She's beautiful and fun and makes him feel young and unencumbered again.

And i want him to have that. i do. i really do.

so how do i stop wanting to hunt him down on twitter and secretly read his tweets? i don't want to be THAT kind of wife. the spying kind... the jealous kind... the needy kind... the old ball and chain...

But Twitter, if you're out there reading this. I want my husband back... or at least parts of him... maybe we could work out some sort of joint custody...

Pictures from Logan and Marcie's wedding...

yes, i'm very incapable of doing anything in a timely manner...

Senorita Grumpy-pants

I hate everything.

I especially hate twitter. and the piano. and my innate selfishness. and my inability to communicate properly. and my laziness. and my dissatisfaction. and all you perfectly happy, well adjusted, fulfilled parents out there.

i'm going to go set fire to something and maliciously watch it burn and pretend it's screaming...
or maybe i'll just crawl under my desk for a while and talk to myself.

Don't Shoe Want Me? i know i want Shoe!
