February ROFL Awards 2007-03-10 02:11:00 Welcome to the February
ROFL (Roll On the Floor Laughing) Awards
- the same great humorous taste you've come to expect, now in a sparkly new package.
Okay, not sparkly exactly. Certainly not any more sparkly than when they were hosted at Mommy Off the Record's place. But new. And not a package, exactly. A new blog. Two new blogs, really.
What was I saying?
Oh yeah.
I think I speak for
A plague, a plague upon your house 2007-03-08 19:00:00 About a month ago I brought up Chicky's remarkable health this winter to Mr. C, who promptly started looking into good psychiatric facilities in which to put me.
"It's amazing. She hasn't really been sick all winter."
"Mmm hmm. That's good, right?"
"Well, yeah. But she's got to get sick eventually. All kids get sick in the winter. I wish she would just get ill and be done with it. The Read more:plague
Well, spank my a** and call me Susie 2007-03-07 18:02:00 With all the talk about sickness and dying and being one with our colons I almost completely forgot to mention that I, along with the delightful Metro Mama (as well as the goddess IzzyMom), have been handed the reigns of the ROFL awards from the oh-so-pregnant Mommy Off the Record.
(There were a lot of people mentioned in that last paragraph. Could be confusing. Let me break it down...)

Everyone's got one but no one is talking about it 2007-03-05 17:18:00 Do you know what this month is?
I'll give you some hints: It's not sexy. You probably won't find any provocative statements regarding it printed on a t-shirt. The news media won't be coming out in droves to promote it. I'm doubtful that many glamorous Hollywood parties will be thrown to raise money for it. And yet, it's the second leading cancer killer in North America. And almost 154,000
Always look for the silver lining (around the ring of the toilet seat) 2007-03-03 00:30:00 Pukefest '07 seems to be over, thank you jeebus. And thank you all for the kind words and the comments from those of you who have been through something like this. I'm still not one hundred percent positive that it was food poisoning - and I'm certainly not 100% back to my old self - but I don't know what else could so forcibly rip one's guts out through their throat, leaving one a lifeless
Has anyone seen my spleen? It was just here a minute ago. 2007-03-01 15:12:00 Food poisoning. Ever had it? No? Would you like some? Here, you can have mine.
Please, take it. I'm begging.
I am assuming that this sickness is food poisoning, though I can't think of where I might have gotten it. Do you think you can get food poisoning from Boston Creme Pie? Just those words are making me green so I'm going to say yes, it is possible. And probable.
I spent the better Read more:spleen
2004 2007-02-26 16:57:00 There are some years that have more significance than others for some people. They are the years whose significance we never forget. The year of our birth or the year we graduated from high school, for instance. Or the year you got married, had a baby, last fit into your skinny jeans. We remember the songs on the radio and the movies that were popular. Hell, we even remember the weather
speed of lightning, roar of thunder, fighting all who rob or plunder 2007-02-23 17:55:00 Between the trainwreck media frenzy surrounding the death of Anna Nicole Smith (Ack! Clowns!) and Britney's extreme breakdown (She's in rehab! Now she's out! She shaved her head! She got bad tattoos! She's back in rehab! Now she's out! She attacks a photographer's car! She's back in rehab! Can't we just remember her as she was?) I skipped last Friday's links. I know, it ruined your whole Read more:lightning

Sorry doesn't seem to be the hardest word to me 2007-02-22 19:26:00 I'm sorry.
No really, I'm very sorry.
Very, very sorry.
Extremely sorry.
Did I mention just how sorry I was?
C'mon, I said I was sorry. What more do you want from me?
I've never been very good at accepting apologies. Especially from those who are closest to me; the word "Sorry" just seems so meaningless sometimes. It's just a word. It doesn't make up for any wrong doing. And if you
She has danced into the danger zone, when a dancer becomes a dance 2007-02-21 15:39:00 It gets mighty lonely - and boring - on these cold New England nights. A woman's got to be resourceful to keep from going mad. And if that means dressing her toddler up in leg warmers* and encouraging her to dance to tunes from a bygone era (uh, that would be music from the 80's), then so be it.
She's a Maniac, Maniac on the floor...
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
Dog is not a four letter word 2007-02-19 22:05:00 Very dear friends of mine became parents today. At 2:30am they delivered a baby girl; a beautiful, healthy, precious bundle of joy who will enrapture them and wind their hearts around her little finger. They're first time parents so when my husband and I told them, repeatedly, that their whole life was about to change they nodded and agreed, but anyone could see that behind their smiles they Read more:four letter
No no's in the snow snow 2007-02-15 19:03:00 Things I have learned never to do when there is a snow storm (based on past experiences):
- NEVER chase a boy across a snowy school yard for the sole reason of beating him up because he told everyone that you liked another boy when you so didn't. The result will be a broken arm - after you slip on some ice that was under the snow - and therefore ending your fifth grade basketball career. And
Husband of the Month 2007-02-14 16:51:00 It's Valentine's Day. Another day of jacked up prices and desperate consumerism. It's not a day that Mr. C and I usually fuss over, which is fine with me because... How do I say this nicely?
Mr. C and I, in the past, have had a tough go at it in the gift giving department.
No. That was too nice. We suck at presents. Big time.
My husband is horrible to buy for. I think men in general are Read more:Husband

Ow. My head. 2007-02-12 16:10:00 We had a great time at the Boston Wine Expo yesterday. I think. I'm fairly certain we had a good time. Things got hazy after the South African wines. Or maybe it was the wines from Portugal. Or it might have been that last tasting of New Zealand wines. At any rate we were all quite happy when we left. I think. I'm... 85% certain. What I do know is that drinking some wine will make you
Paying it forward one link at a time, and without that annoying Haley Joel Osment kid 2007-02-09 19:25:00 It's Friday. Not that that means jack when you're a stay at home parent, except for the next two days I'll have someone else to share the parenting/household responsibilities with. Hurrah. But this weekend, this glorious Sunday, my sister, my husband and I will be spending the afternoon at the Boston Wine Expo getting pissed snackered loaded crocked looped plowed recommendations for new wines Read more:Haley

Want to save your marriage (insert name here)? Let me tell you how! 2007-02-08 15:10:00 Psst... If you'd like a break from my whining and belly-aching go here to read about my experiences with a how-to manual for new parents who want to save their marriage
s. Just in time for Valentine's Day! It will make you laugh! It will make you cry! It will make you rethink your position on oral sex!
Did I get your attention? Good. Now clicky clicky.

If you're looking for me I'll be hiding underneath my pillow 2007-02-07 20:07:00 I'm a schmuck.
Chicky and I just returned from a birthday party for two of my friend's children, who both turn two years old this week. Last year we were all having low key birthday parties for our kids, just some lunch and hanging out with friends. No muss, no fuss (okay, a little bit of fuss), and most of all... No presents. It was simple and easy and relatively stress free. According to Read more:hiding

Dear Friend 2007-02-05 15:25:00 Hello friend. Come in, have a seat. Let me take your coat, pour you a cup of coffee. Or would you prefer tea? It's still a bit early for a glass of wine but come back later and I'll open a nice bottle for us to share. Until then can I tempt you with a piece of blueberry lemon bread? It's homemade, I made it just for you. I hope you like it. I really do.
What's that? Thank you, that's
This is your old pal Stinky Whizzleteats! 2007-02-02 18:45:00 After reading the comments on my post about Boo Boo Kitty going gray (three gray hairs! Three! Three. Hairs. Three hairs!), Mr. C told me that I had to mention how impressed he was that one third of the people who commented were bare down there. He counted.
And that's why I married him.

Speaking of hair, I cut all mine off yesterday.

Measure of a Man 2007-01-31 18:24:00 It's a pickle. That's what it is. It's a real pickle I'm in.
And damn dang if that ain't the funniest thing. A pickle. Long, thick and, whew. Ahem, sorry.
I just can't figure out what the heck happened. Everything was perfect. On pitch. On course. Straight. Aw, I mean, straight up.
I was singin' my heart out underneath those klieg lights. The nation was swept up in my small town boy making Read more:Measure
It's all fun and games until someone finds a white hair on their hoo haa 2007-01-31 16:56:00 So it's official. I'm old. Miss Muffy is going gray. If I were as fabulous as Samantha from Sex and the City I would be running out right this instant to buy hair dye for my kittie. (Although, we all remember how that turned out. Hello carrot top!)
As if it weren't bad enough that my bones creek and my joints pop. And? I swear I'm getting the beginning of a wattle. No, not this type.
Boogie Fever 2007-01-30 14:47:00 I gave up nightclubs a couple of years before I became a mom. I just couldn't take them anymore; the smoke, the drunken, unintelligible pick-up lines, trying to talk with your friends over the ear-splitting house music, it was all too much for me to take. Mix all that with the fact that I dance like a wounded chicken and you can see why I was only too thrilled never to see the inside of a club Read more:Boogie

Frigid? Maybe hibernation is the answer 2007-01-27 19:47:00 By now you might be wondering if Mr. C is still in possession of his testicles after Friday's heating fiasco. I decided to let him keep his balls but I'm reserving the right to use them as punching bags when the mood strikes me. And, no, I'm not speaking figuratively. Here's what he said in response to my bitching about not having heat on the coldest day in the past two years (5 degrees, but - Read more:Frigid

What could be considered grounds for divorce 2007-01-26 15:25:00 *Update! WhooHoo!*
I'm shivering. My nose is red and my fingers stiff, which is only slightly better than Chicky's fingers. Hers are purple. We're dressed in two or three layers of clothing, wearing winter hats and we're freezing, regardless of the roaring fire next to us.
Why would we be outside if we're so uncomfortable? We're not. We're sitting on my couch.
It's 5 degrees outside, Read more:divorce
Where I implore a multi-million dollar company to stop scaring the living shibbit out of me 2007-01-23 18:38:00 Dear Sony Pictures - Movie Division,
This is not the type of letter I usually write but I have to ask, nay, beg you to stop playing the trailer for The Messengers during the day.
Why should you stop promoting this guaranteed money maker during daylight hours? I'll tell you. Imagine, if you will, there is this suburban housewife - it's not hard, there are a lot of us out there. As a matter of Read more:million

Are they made with real Girl Scouts? 2007-03-12 15:05:00 In case you have ever made the assumption from my long and slightly sanctimonious posts about dogs and their owners that my dogs are perfectly trained:
Could have been worse, they could have stopped at just eating the cookies instead of eating pieces of the boxes, too.
This is what happens after a long, cold winter when dogs don't get the necessary exercise they require and are left at home

You got peanut butter on my meme. You got meme in my peanut butter 2007-03-14 18:02:00 Can't. Think. Still. Recovering. From. Springing forward. Changing clocks. Body. Messed. Up.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Combine the time change with the fact that it has been beeee-yooo-teee-fullll this week and the result is now I have no brain activity. None. Hook me up to a machine and you'll see a stick figure dozing where the squigly lines should be. Or the Peanut Butter Jelly guy
Even my toddler knows what an insufferable bear I can be before my morning coffee 2007-03-16 18:43:00 The scene: The kitchen at Chateau de Chicky. It is morning and the Mistress of the house is barely conscious. She sits at the table, listlessly flipping through the latest edition of Bark magazine while her young child sits nearby in her high chair joyfully eating copious amounts of Kix cereal and slices of ripe banana. On the counter the Mistress's morning salvation merrily perks away in Read more:toddler
God is in the details 2007-03-19 17:19:00 The season of Lent, for me, will always symbolize a season of sacrifice. During Lent Christians are asked to fast and abstain from certain wordly pleasures, such as meat or alcohol. As young children attending Catholic elementary school we were encouraged to give up something that we loved for the forty (some odd) days between Ash Wednesday and Easter. It would make us stronger Catholics, we Read more:details
