Crazy. Stupid. Love.

This has been sitting in my draft folder since Jan 1st.  Every. single. time. I open my blog and look at the posts, I see this one sitting there.. First I sigh because oh my..  and then I giggle because that chick from Easy A (and yes, I know her name but I always think of her as the chick from Easy A) is soo right.

Seriously?  It's like you're photoshopped!  

Definitely my favorite part of the movie.  Ryan Gosling, he's not too bad on the eyes! There is absolutely nothing worse than watching a hysterically funny movie (with said hottie) with your 16yr old daughter sitting next to you & hubby sighing loudly, OMG'ing and just generally stating her attraction to said hottie above.  Please child, keep that information to yourself.  Your parents do NOT need to share it.

Above picture is your post of the day.  A picture is worth a thousand words after all.. In this case maybe 2 thousand?   You are welcome.

Stripper Names

In an effort to maybe one of these years finally lose all this extra weight that has found permanent residence on my body, I have begun working out.

For a while I was working out a few days a week with Sasha Song (who despite the apparently stripper sounding name is in no way a stripper, feel better Sasha?) and another friend.. And then Baby X came into my life and I spend my mornings while Dimples is in preschool cuddling her instead of sweating my butt off.  Good trade off in my eyes.

Our new pool/ gym opened up last month 3-4 blocks away from our house. Naturally I went and bought a year membership.  I mean come on, shelling out the money for a year means I HAVE to work out, right??  uhmm no.  I have not even stepped inside the gym portion yet.. Oops..   In my defense- Daddy Chaos has been having back issues and hasn't felt up to it and I ain't going alone.. lol! 

Still the other friend (who is currently nameless on this blog because apparently I suck at naming friends w/o giving them stripper sounding names) also joined the pool/gym and we decided to start taking Aqua Abs class together.  So for 2 nights a week I have been going to the pool with a freaking MALE college student for our instructor (really, God?  Really?) to do the best workout ever.  I Love it !

Tonite is Aqua Abs and I just realized that I did NOT shave my legs since last week when I started Aqua Abs.. Uhmm, I'm pretty sure some hair has grown back by now..  Being the hater of shaving that I am, I decided to just shave the bottom half of my legs and be happy with that..  I think that's okay, right?   Maybe I'm just lazy..

MLK - from the eyes of a 6yr old

Spoiled Princess tells us what Martin Luther King, Jr did -

" He spoke out because he wanted all the black children to be able to do the same things that the white children could do.. So he spoke out and it happened."


Apparently they actually do teach about MLK in our whitey white school.. I was beginning to wonder.  Even a friend comment when she came over to visit last week, she had driven past the highschool and saw on the sign that we had today off.     All the schools around her have signs that said "  No School Monday -- Martin Luther King Day" .   Our school had a sign that said " No school Monday-- Teacher Record Day".   Really?? We had the day off but they couldn't even acknowledge it as a real observance?    I felt moderately better that the 1st grade was taught somewhat about MLK.. Although when questioned the 2nd grade and kindergarten weren't told anything.  Hmmp.. 

Apparently the teaching wasn't explained quite as well as it should be.   After hearing Spoiled Princess proudly proclaim her newly learned knowledge, I asked her "Great... so what does that mean? What are white children and black children?"

Her response - " I dunno.  We didn't talk about that. "

sigh.  We quickly started going thru the family and having her look at them and tell me whether she thought they were "white" or "black".

What color are you, Spoiled Princess?   " uhmm... white?"
Good!   What color am I?   " White!"
What color is Dimples?  " Black??"
Yep!   What color is Drama Queen ?   (Drama Queen pipes in BLACK!) " uhmm, she looks white but I guess she wants to be black so she can be black ok?"

Leave it to the 16yr old to try and confuse the matter.. No she's white as can be.

What color is Fishing Pole?  "Black!  Ohhh, so Fishing Pole is black and he can do the same things that I do ? That's what it means?"

Yep!

"That's great!  I love Martin Luther King!!"


me too.  me too.

Happy Martin Luther King, Jr  Day :-)
