This is a video of a little boy that my parents take care of quite a bit. His dad is a good friend of my dad, so they have pretty much been around him since birth. He calls my dad “Big Tim” and my mom “NeeNee” which is sadly what she has decided she wants her grandchildren (Designs by Liz™) to call her.

Overheard at the daycare:

4-Year-Old Boy: But M____, I love you.
4-Year-Old Girl: That’s nice, but I don’t want to be your girlfriend.
4-Year-Old Boy: But…I’m a good man! I don’t hit people!

How have I not seen this? Oh, up until a few days ago, I was a FredHead. That explains it.

Happy Thanksgiving! Hope you’re all spending the day being thankful and…getting bloated. Goodness knows that’s what I’m up to. Other than that I am driving to my hometown to spend time with both sides of the family (Mom’s and Dad’s) with my boyfriend in tow. Yes, today is The First Official Family Holiday Celebration Where I Am Accompanied By The Boyfriend. Here’s hoping that I get promoted to the Adult Table this year!

What did you do today to make the world a better place?

Me? I taught three 2-year-olds to say “Gobble-gobble” à la Frank Caliendo.

These are silly. But good blog fodder.

At age 43 you will die from a lethal overdose of methamphetamines.

Cause that’s how we roll in the E.C. (Elmore City, if you aren’t familiar. It’s okay and probably better if you aren’t.)

At age 56 you will be attacked by a pack of escaped lap dogs in your neighborhood and never be seen again.

This happens on a regular basis. I am legitimately afraid.

At age 69 you will be trampled by a mob of rabid people at the opening of X-Men 17.

One question: WAS HUGH JACKMAN THE LAST THING I SAW?!

At age 61 you will start playing an online game and become so addicted that you starve to death.

Heather would not be surprised.

How will you die?

1. Make chocolate pudding.
2. Top with generous amounts of Cool Whip Lite.
3. Midol. Midol. MIDOL.
4. IcyHot. Newly discovered miracle.
5. Lie on couch.
6. Watch TV. Preferably Lifetime Movie Network or something else mindless like that. Today I watched four delightfully predictable dramas featuring at least one woman in mortal danger. Cramps, mortal danger…same thing.
7. Get more pudding.
8. Make tea. Mountain Rose Herbs has a great selection. At night I like their Dream Blend. They also make a Moon Ease and Women’s Freedom tea for times just like this. (On a side note, I also drink their Happy Tummy tea whenever my digestive system isn’t being agreeable. So pretty much all the time.)
9. Change channel. No doubt LMN will be getting old now. Try any of the primetime crime shows. My personal favorites are Law & Order: SVU and Criminal Intent.
10. Reapply IcyHot. Go to bed.

BLEH.

This has been written for a while, but I’m just getting around to posting it now. I’ve never had an “about me” section up on this site. I do now! Click on the link to your right that says “More about me…”

Things were pretty crazy with school last week and this week has been really stressful, since my pretty little pup decided after almost two years of living here that she was going to start climbing the fence and running away. If anyone knows of ways to deter a Border Collie from doing this (outside of an electric fence, which is being installed today), please share.
