The Butt Series - A Christmas Snack

Oh dear. That title sounds very wrong. Ah. It’s late. No it isn’t. It FEELS late. Also most of my brain cell has been exhausted due to this, that, and a whole lotta whatnot. A day. It’s been a day.

So, instead of cleaning up my title so as to keep ya’llseses minds outta the gutter, I’m gonna leave that up to you. Instead, I want to ask:

If I eat ALL this Christmas snack, will it make my butt look big?

Don’t feel like you have to answer that. In fact, it is a rhetorical question, so… hush. Except still leave a comment. Bloggers do it for the comments.

Oh hey. Do you want the recipe to this delightful treat? Since you asked:

Make Me Laugh Monday - Kids and butts

It’s that time of the week again… time to head into the work week… school week… the week. Ugh. Let’s start this first week of the new year off right. Let’s laugh a little… Feel free to join in… Plug in the link to your funny post (a specific post, not just the URL to your site)… and your name. I’d appreciate it if in your post you link back here… so everyone in the world can discovery me awesomeness, but… more importantly they can meet our other MMLM participants! Feel free to use the graphic!

Let’s begin!

From my friend Jill:

My 3 1/2 yr old told me I have a big butt. She was nice about it. I said “No. I. Don’t.” I really don’t. She replied “Yea - LOOK behind you.” Very sweetly.

Bwahahahaaahahhaaaa!

Jill’s story reminds me of a story I’d swore I’d never tell here. But, I have no integrity or shame when it comes to a good story so, here goes. I was taking a shower one morning. I seldom get to shower without my 3 1/2 year old standing by… sharing stories and asking questions. She ofetn sets up a towel and “supllies” and hunkers down whilst I try to get my clean on. Anywho. One day, she just blurts out,

Mama. I not like your bottom.

“Then get the heck outta my bathroom you self-esteem murderer!!!” I didn’t say that, but(t)…

*****

Then there’s this little guy. My friend Heidi at Heidiology posted this video several days ago (*note: the “p” word is used)…

Keep up on the ridiculous, the insightful, the always digressive…

Resolutions Schmezolutions

I wasn’t going to set any resolutions this year. But. I keep seeing everybody doing it and I have always done what everybody does… ‘cept for that whole “jumping off a cliff” thing. Obviously, cuz I’m not dead.

I resist resolutionizing because I think it sets a person up for failing. And to be quite honest, I fail quite well without setting myself up for it, thankyouverymuch. I mean, don’t you remember my first vlog?

But I have reconsidered. Why? Well, it seems when people make resolutions — they speak about themselves. And, quite frankly, I am huge fan of Myselves. So, it is quite natural for me to do something about, around, for, against, and to… Myselvesesessses. Also, I plan on setting no-fail goals… shooting for the win-win and whatnot. Who wins? Me… and… Me :)

Without further ado, my no-fail resolutions:

Manatees. I resolve to learn more about and appreciate the under-appreciated manatee. How much do I really know about the plight and life-cycle of the manatee?

Do nudists wear shoes? More from my searchers.

I have no idea if nudists wear shoes. I do know I am a huge fan of clothing…I think it’s amazing how much better a body can look with clothes, than without. It’s true. But I am not going to focus on my physical imperfections. It wouldn’t be a long enough post anyway…. Pffft. Instead, Once again I bring to you… the things people search for online that bring them to Me!

Happy New Year, friends!

I can’t help it. I should give myself an out… take a day off, but after writing every day for a year, it sure is a hard habit to break!

Besides, I gotta tell ya something(s)!

The first thing – my first post at Type-A Mom is UP, like a hot air balloon on a perfect day! Would you like to read it? O.K. You will find the post here. If you want, you can leave a comment there. It would make me feel all gushy… cuz, we bloggers all know that we do it for the comments *blush*.

Also. I committed a crime of omission. I never told you about my New Years resolution for 2009… It was to get 30 40 80 100 or more comments on my last post of 2008. So, since that goal has not been met, I will link to that post — right here. And I will wait. I will wait for those who partied too hard yesterday and did not make it here to comment. I will wait for the lurkers to gain the courage to speak.

It’s O.K., my timid ones… you can do it. I won’t bite. Really. I have a heart of gold and my belly is full of Oreos (a.k.a.”Gloreos”) because I ate a lot of them last night. I also ate a lot of chicken buffalo dip. I should give you the recipe. If you are not in love with me yet… that recipe would seal the deal… we’re talkin’ shredded chicken, hot sauce, cream cheese, blue cheese, ranch dressing and cheddar cheese. Baked. Not healthy, I know, but “healthy” won’t make you love me… “cheesey goodness” is where true love dwells… Obviously, this girl knows how to ring in a new year…

It is the last day of the year!

Happy last day of the year-ness to you! I was really struggling with what to post today. It is a very special day… the last of 2008… my last day of the Blog 365 challenge… Which I successfully completed thankyouverymuch. Yet I still wonder if I have been able to really show you who I am(s). I just hate to think that we have spent so much time together and I held back even one small ounce. I want to be open and honest… I want to be sure I wrap this wonderful year up with the perfect post.

Who… or what is this blog about? Yes… Me. And what kind of blogger would I be if I didn’t give you as much of me as I possibly could? Batten down the hatches people… for today you get to meet My best friend. We had a wonderful time together yesterday. We took lots and lots and lots of pictures TOGETHER. I want to share them with you. My BFF is vibrant. She is beautiful. She is smart and witty and loads of fun to be around…. She makes the world a better place… Because we look so much alike, I should tell you, she’s the one on the left.

Can I Get a Whutwhut?!

So. My kids and Lisa’s kids were tearin’ up around the house last night. At dinner my 6-year-old, Olivia started callin’ out her homies… “Can I get a whutwhut?” And the other 4 holla’d back… “Whutwhut!” And I was all… I gotta get these kids on tape… except I don’t know how to just voice record so I popped open iMovie and tried to keep the kids out of the frame so as to protect their identities and this is what was captured:

I feel like I need to defend myself… my kids do not listen to that “Whutwhut” song. I do, but I am a bit of a homegirl (I mean, check out my arm pump people… I am an ANIMAL!)… The “whutwhut” actually came from some influence on the Disney channel, and I feel enough shame just from that. But what was funniest to me was the fact that the kids sounded like the “MineMineMine” seagulls in Finding Nemo (found in the first 25 seconds of the following video):

So, in essence, I spent the night with A Flock of Seagulls last night. Back in the 80’s had I started THAT rumor, I’d have been one popular girl…

Make Me Laugh Monday - Kids & The Christmas Story

It’s Make Me Laugh Monday! If you would like to join in, add your name and link to your specific funny post in the Mr. Linky at the end of this post. Feel free to use the MMLM graphic in your post, and be sure to link back to this specific post. Not to bore you with mundane details, but if there is questionable video or audio content, please give a bit of warning in your post so those of us with little ones underfoot can preserve their innocence :) Thanks so much. Now, for laughter — I have 2 things to share today:

*****

I volunteered to help out with the children’s choir at church - for their Christmas performance. We had rehearsal yesterday. There is this adorable little girl in the choir… I think she is in kindergarten… the smallest child in the choir. She was to lead the group offstage at the end of the performance. I kept saying, “Now ‘YOU, HONEY’ go this way…”. I could not remember her name. I finally broke down:

Me (bending to reach her eye-level): Honey. I am so sorry, but I can’t remember your name…

Little girl: Wolf

Me, to this very adorable, very sweet, very girly little girl: I’m sorry. What?

Adorable little girl: Wolf

Me, stuttering: Did you?… I… uh… What???

Blog 365, Type-A Mom and StumbleUpon

I am totally shooting for SEO with that title…

Only 3 more days left of the Blog 365 challenge… I made the decision to join this challenge was called-out by my friend Jen about this time last year… I made a long list of things to write about. The original list would have given me about 40 days of writing.

I think I only made it through half that list. I have gotten so distracted… by great links, new friends, myself, vlogging, search results, Make Me Laugh Mondays (that’s tomorrow - don’t forget to play tomorrow and link to your funny post here!) and my adult-onset ADHD has really intensified! Whoa! Who knew I’d have MORE than enough content to play with. There were days I posted twice. TWICE. It seems that the more I wrote… the more there was to write, to share, to digress from, to twist… I used to enter a day with a mindset of “survival”, I now enter my day with a mindset of “how can I write about what I just experienced?”. Bloggers, I know you know exactly what I mean.

I’ve heard the phrase, “Be nice or I’ll blog about you” (I actually have a shirt with that saying… got it as swag from BlogHer ‘08), but I think it’s more than that — “Be nice to me AND I’ll blog about you”, heck… just “Be, and I’ll blog about you.” I don’t discriminate… be you child, adult, animal or donut. All is fair game in blogs and social media. When a girl needs content, a girl finds content.

I am relieved to be nearly done with this 365 “test”… On the other hand, I kinda want to keep going. On the other hand, I kind of need a break. On the other hand, I still have 4 or 5 awards to hand out… and I think I want the start of 2009 to be all about appreciating my people… my friends who have touched my life and filled it up. I feel like an octopus with all these “other hands” I have right now.

I also want a cookie. But I digress… Continue reading ‘Blog 365, Type-A Mom and StumbleUpon’
