My sweet Tristan was born 15 years ago today. He was this tiny 6.3 lb. conehead baby and now he’s 180 lbs., almost 5’10″, squatting 335 lb. CRA.ZEE. Happy birthday Tdog!! You are awesome and I’m so proud of you!!
Friday was my dad’s birthday and this Friday is Isabel’s 11th. So… we went to PAR.TAY at Chuck E. Cheese.
I was in charge of the cake for the party. So… the cake lady at Kroger now thinks I’m insane.

Napoleon Dynamite pretty much rules…
Duke won. If I had made a bracket I would have at least picked the overall winner. But I never, in a million years, would have expected Butler to even be in the Final 4!! They played awesome and seriously, if my Duke wasn’t the team they were playing I would have totally been cheering for Butler. I have nothing but respect for them.
Yesterday I got all this, 12 pack of Charmin, 3 12 packs Dr. Pepper, 3 packs Stride gum, 2 Oral B toothbruses, 1 Colgate Total, The Chipmunks Squeakquel dvd, 5 packs of batteries, 2 bottles Head and Shoulders, 2 bottles Smart Rinse mouthwash, 2 bottles Dawn and 2 bottles of Cascade dishwasher soap:
Please note the dvd alone costs $24.99. I got all of this for less than $22. I know others would have done better, but I was stoked. Yay for saving money.
OH! And today I got to do some paralegal type stuff for my friend who is a lawyer. I am stoked for the opportunity. I get to start helping her as needed. Sei said now I’m gonna be like the cool chick off “The Good Wife” that does all the dirty work. I love that show- have y’all seen it?
Speaking of shows… YVONNE, did you watch “24″!?!?! Were you trippin’ the whole 2 hours too, or what?? I was yellin at the tv like a maniac!! That is all.

DOES NOT =
** So… you may have noticed that I added a “Daily Movie Quote” to the top of my blog. When I say “daily” I mean “whenever I remember to change it.” You are welcome to name the movie in your comment or if you clickety on the movie reel it takes you to the answer. Yesterday’s was “We look like bad guys. Incompetent bad guys!” which was from one of my all time faves “The Incredibles.”
** Lately Liv has become obsessed with “boons” aka “Boobs.” She asks me about mine all the time, shows me “hers”, asks to see Isabel’s, talks about getting “boons” when she’s bigger, etc… It’s funny except when she feels me up in public.
** “24″ is stressin me out. I do not like Tony Almeida being bad. 3 more hours left!!
** Our school district is closed for all this week due to the swine flu. I can kindof understand *why* but here’s my questions:
1) What about the thousands on kids that receive free breakfast and lunch? For some kids that’s all the food they get. I know they have a couple of food programs set up to help, but seriously, I worry for those kiddos. I’m dropping some food off at a drop off site today.
2) What about the parents who don’t have sick time or vacay time to take off work, yet their kiddos are too young to stay at home alone? How do they find and afford childcare?
3) Do they really think we’re gonna keep all our kids “quarantined” in the house? I have EIGHT kids here this week including the kids I babysit. If I kept them all quarantined we’d all end up hanging in a closet.
** Wassup with the price and lack of ammunition these days? People are worried about new gun control laws, etc… so they are stockin’ up. Bullets for my .38 are selling out as soon as they come in. I have 5 bullets left. I better not miss.
** My birthday is coming up. When I turned 30 I was really upset. Seriously depressed. But now 1/2 the time I can’t remember how old I am anyway. Is that a sign of aging?
