July 2011 Archives

Hey hey hey!


It's hot as Hades out there and I'm soooo glad my shorties are in camp. They run amok like puppies all day and are promptly hosed off to stay cool. Otherwise, I'd be hit up to sacrifice my laptop to endless rounds of Pokemon online games and too much time in front of the mean screen can wreak havoc on young eyeballs. 

Or does it?

Check vid from VSP for the answers:



My peanut is getting glasses tomorrow. She's not even four. The poor thing stood to inherit some serious myopia on both sides, but I didn't have to wear glasses until I was nine or ten. I would've never thunk to get her eyes examined, but our eye doc so happens to specialize in tiny eyeballs, so she put the bug in our ear. Turns out, my kid's got herself a serious astigmatism. 

When did you last have your kids eyes examined?

Hey, you can werk the daylights out of the right pair of specs. In this weather, you can't step foot outside without donning a pair of shades. Much like the bag and the shoes, EVERYONE knows the shades make the (wo)man.

This is precisely why I've teamed up with the lovely folks over at VSP to make you an offer you can't refuse. 

Wanna free pair of designer spex, worth up to (GULP) $200? 

Sure you do! Who doesn't?

All you have to do is leave a comment that says when you last had your kids' eyes checked below, and like the VSP Facebook page. That's it! It will take you a grand total of 30 seconds. A fair bahgain for $200 worth of sweet spex!

The lucky winner will be chosen a week from today, July 26th. 

Go! Go! Go!

Soooo sorry I've been MIA. Actually, no - I'm fibbing. I'm not sorry. I was on vacation. Even scourge squeakers like my self deserve us a siesta now and then. But now I'm back and I'm here to let you know that I can really make romance. So let's go!

Crouton. C'est Bon.

Real Housewives of New York fans, don't go grey -- press play! Two drag queens take on LuAnn, Jill and Kelly with panache and spot on lip action.


When you've been Alpha Hag to the same man for over 20 years, they know just how to elevate the glee of your vacationing to the next level. Kenny, I'm proud to be the Jill to your LuAnn. C'est bon! Merci :)

My Little Beastie Pony
Watching these little pastel bitches say "You think I get high" sends a shudder of glee down my spine.

The Second Coming of "Dallas!"

Couldn't you just tinkle with delight? And it actually looks pretty good!



A Three Year Old Takes On "Rolling In The Deep"

As you can probably tell, I've never been one to wrap reality in rose-colored filmy gauzey polarized filters for my children, much as the compulsion grips me. My youngest is starting to slowly beginning to file through her input, thus challenging me with questions like this when she ponders the lyrics to Adele's "Rolling In The Deep."

Z: "Mom? What does it mean when she says there's a fire burning in her heart? Does that hurt like a boo boo?"

Me: "It just means that she's sad about the person she's singing to."

Z: "Is she sad because he doesn't want to play with her anymore?"

Me: "Something like that, honey."

Z: "Should she tell the teacher?"

Me: "She's all grown up and doesn't have one anymore. So she's singing about her feelings instead."

Z: "Why doesn't she just burn his heart down?"

Clearly, this kid knows more at 3 3/4 then I do at 43.

Stay gold! Who doesn't need shades in weather like this? Stay tuned for a fancy sunglass giveaway to come later this week, courtesy of VSP!!
