Manic Monday... Where Does the Time Go?

We went to Melbourne this weekend and caught up with old friends (some of us more literally than others). We had a great time playing choo-choos, running around the park and then finishing the day with ice cream. I'm still so sad they moved.

Dear Writers and Producers of "Go Diego, Go"

***Ok, I had no intention of posting tonight. I was going to do other very productive things watch television and eat junk food. However, after reading an educational text book watching "Go Diego, Go" with my kids before bed, I felt compelled to write.***
_______________________________________________________________

Dear Writers and Producers of "Go Diego, Go",

My kids love your show. Amazingly, I find the show remarkably tolerable and *generally* don't mind watching it with them before bedtime.

I think it's nice the kids in your show look like real kids; they're not emaciated, wearing makeup or sporting purple hair. GOOD.

I like that the show is fast paced and colorful. GOOD.

I appreciate when new words are introduced in both English and Spanish. GOOD.

And I especially love that it's an educational show teaching kids about various species of animals like the jaguar, the chinchilla and the manatee. GOOD.

My very favorite thing, though, is that you take it's role as an entertaining, but educational, show seriously. You don't get all crazy with the content and write episodes clearly designed to completely and utterly confuse children. You wouldn't produce a story called "Manatee's Mermaid Rescue!" about saving stranded mermaids... and you would never explain to children that manatees magically transform into mermaids to become the 'heroes of the sea'.

That would be ridiculous. Phew. GOOD.

Flashback Friday! a.k.a. It's Not a Tumor.

Ok, so I have a little bit of an obsession with the new Discovery Health series 'I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant'. It's a show where they feature stories of full term pregnant women presenting to the ER with 'stomach pains' only to find out it's ummmm.... labor. Or worse, women who poop a baby onto the dirty floor of a campground bathroom...

I mean... REALLY?!

Maybe it's because last night they featured a gal who had undergone three cycles of IVF and still claimed to have no idea she was pregnant... or maybe it's because I look like I'm trying to smuggle a watermelon under my shirt when I'm forty weeks pregnant.

I'll let you decide.

Happy 4th!

This is the first weekend in (literally) several months we haven't gone out of town or had guests visiting. In light of this, we're hunkering down as a little family of four and enjoying each other's company. Yesterday and this morning involved massive amounts of sorting and furniture moving, while this afternoon will be swimming, barbecue ribs, corn and virgin cocktails.

I hope everyone is enjoying themselves as much as I am.

Happy 4th!

Have I Mentioned That I'm Turning *cough cough* Thirty?


One month from today.

And I'm not happy about it.

At all.

Photobucket

Mostly because I envisioned myself in a drunken stupor on my 30th.

But, clearly, that's not going to happen.

So, instead, I'm going to celebrate with you.

And a contest.

(and probably some Sharps).

So, officially, starting now, this very minute, nay second (!) you have the opportunity to enter to win one of three (3) gift cards to probably my favorite place ever. Target. Yay! On (or about... I make no promises) August 1, 2009, I will randomly pick three winners to win one (1) $20.00 Target gift card, one (1) $10.00 Target gift card and one (1) $5.00 Target gift card. Here's how to enter:

How to Enter:
- Entries will be received in the comments section of this post.
- First entry: leave a comment telling me you want to win! (You MUST leave a valid email address with EACH entry, I will not hunt you down!)
- Additional entries:
*** Tweet about this contest and leave a separate comment with the link to your tweet (not to your twitter account, just to your contest tweet).
*** Blog about this contest and leave a separate comment with the link to your blog post.
*** Follow or subscribe to this blog and leave a separate comment stating that you do so.

That's a total of FOUR possible entries!!!

But, wait! You can do this EVERY SINGLE DAY!!! So, it's more like a total of four BAJILLION(ish) possible entries!!!

The contest will run from now until Friday, July 31, 2009, midnight Orlando, Florida time. Winners will be picked by random number generator and will be announced (on or about) Saturday, August 1, 2009. U.S. addresses only, please.

I reserve the right to cancel or change this contest at any time for any reason. This contest is void where prohibited. This contest is sponsored and paid for by ME. For YOU. Because I'm awesome like that.

My Silly Boys.
