How's this one for you:
I put Jason's $300 iPod through the washing machine this morning.
This weekend is not shaping up the way I thought it would.

Darn!
If I would had the sense to be in audience for the Dr. Phil Show today I could have scored a free pink iPod mini.
WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THIS??
Yes, I'm easing into Mother's Day a bit early with the watching of the daytime tv.

Aragorn Pledges to Defend the Honor of the Loving Family Townhouse
Argh!
As if you couldn't tell, this never stops being funny to me.
Woo Hoo for Hallmark Holidays!
I plan to be living up Mother's Day this year. I'm usually kind of "meh" about the whole thing because it makes me miss my own mom, but this year I'm thinking "Hey! I'm getting in on this whole greeting-card-treat-your-mom-like-they're-queen-for-a-day business!"
That being said, it really doesn't take that much to make me feel like a queen. I actually don't want to get anything from anyone. Basically I want my day to go like this:
1) SLEEPING IN! This goes hand in hand with my staying up late on Saturday night competing against Jason in a Nintendo Donkey Konga tournament. And by staying up late, I mean past 10:30.
2) BREAKFAST! Made by somebody other than myself.
3) HOT SHOWER! Taken while it's still morning and lasting for more that 2 1/2 minutes.
4) LOUNGING! Oh, to lay around on my bed with my laptop, a bag of peanut M&M's and a stack of fluffy fashion magazines. Heaven!
Peanut M&M's have been calling my name and frequenting my dreams all week. Mmmmmmmmm. I may or may not be officially done with my diet now. If anything, I will at least treat myself this weekend. I've lost about ten pounds and I'm in no hurry to gain it back. I don't really need to lose any more weight but I am super close to making my drivers license stop being a lie now. (I know- whose driver's license doesn't fib, right?) But anyway, I still have the stats from when I was 21 and baby-free on there and if I'm within reach I might as well go for it now while I'm on a roll. That is, after I'm done with that bag of chocolatey goodness.

If you've ever been to my house, chances are you've seen this photo a bunch of times. It's one of my favorites. Oh-how-I-wish I could have kept that Amoco jacket from work!

Rock and Roll McDonald's
Jason and I watched the documentary "Supersize Me" last night. I realize that we're about a year-and-a-half behind the hype but we have two children under the age of five so cut us some slack. I do have to say that I was very impressed by the film. I thought that it wouldn't be interesting for a whole hour and a half because, DUH. Of course McDonald's food is bad for you. But can you make a whole movie around it? Apparently so. The only thing I didn't totally buy into was the idea that is is never okay to indulge in a little fast food. I mean, come on. I'm a very healthy eater who exercises nearly every day. I don't think it's going to hurt me that bad to pick up the occasional chocolate shake or bowl of chili from Wendy's. (Didn't you hear? That finger thing was a total SCAM!) You also can't expect me to go through life without ever eating cheddar fries from the Rockford Beef-a-Roo. I mean, they are cooking it just for you and all.
Ok, I'm being a little silly but I'm serious too. I think a little junk food is okay in small doses. Of course, when I say occasionally I'm talking about one or two times a month. I also realize though, there are people out there that probably have a fast food meal every single day of their life. Maybe not for all three meals like the guy in the movie, but something pretty darn close. I was completely floored by what damage he did to his body in such a short period of time. I mean, I expected him to put on weight, but THIRTY POUNDS in a MONTH? And what happened to his liver was just downright grody. Who would have thought that fatty food would have the same effect as alcohol on your liver. Ew. There were points in the film where my heart just hurt watching it. It made me want to go downstairs and ride my bike for another half hour even though I had just gotten off of it.
The other thing I took away from the movie: my girls are definitley brown bagging their lunches to school. No question about it.
