Random highlights

Apparently even in the animal kingdom having a "well-developed rack" will get you some attention. (My favorite line: "It's got no male utilities!")


I know, the "thrill on the hill" is so last week. But it bears reliving over and over and over. Wahoo!


I'm with his mom. Gross! But I'll support you honey if that's really what you want to do with your life... (Said the "witnesses," "We're not always saving lives and protecting property. We also do other things.")



Commentary on what a weird world in which we live:

From public urination, which, apparently is now illegal, but shouldn't be considered to be offensive...


...to public breastfeeding, which, although perfectly legal, is still, by some, considered to be offensive...


...to that all-time great offender, Christmas.

*groan*


And finally: Here are just a couple dedicated to my favorite Pottymouth Sister:

Innovation has taken a nasty turn. Can you say "Panda poo paper production" five times really fast?


When in the city...

Well said b..

People are not really thatinsecure to be offended by a Nativity scene.

The fact that there is a chance to sue someone and walk away with a lump sum of money[ a.k.a. get rich quick] they will cry and holler "Oh, poor me, I don't think I can be a Jewish anymore because I saw a bunch of people at a Chistian Nativity scene and they sold Fish and Honeycomb." or " Oh, Spanish Fork and Salem give more attention to the LLama Fest and that makes me feel bad for being LDS."

How ironic would it be to make toilet paper out of panda poo? That would make one great white elephant gift.

I, too, have a mutant arm hair but I rip it out before it gets too long. Maybe I should let it go and see how long it gets. Then I could be famous too!

As a person who nursed a person who could say her ABCs and count to at least 10 (nursed her til she was just over 2), I am all for women nursing their babies longer. However, I do get a little creeped by people nursing 5 year olds, which is what I saw when I went to my first LLL meeting.
The best part of the BYU game? Checking the "FINAL" score that said Utah won, only to find out via a cell phone call from a friend that ESPN got it wrong, that the Cougs really were the winners. That was such a sweeet moment (esp since the person who called to tell us works for the U, and it took a lot of courage to make the call;) )

Panda Poo Paper would be a lovely Christmas gift for say...a compulsive writer. :)

I will be in NYC in two weeks. I am SO going to Times Square to take some potty photos for you!

...when you realize your children and your clothes are about the same age...

With so much discussion about turning 30 and so many (too many to link) of you having babies and such, it has drawn in sharp relief the inescapable fact that I am biologically old enough to have given birth to the whole lot of you. OK, well most of you anyway (the exceptions shall remain nameless, of course). In any case, I usually try to avoid acting my age, but the effort has become futile of late. So today I'm coming out: I'm 44 and I think I'm having a midlife crisis. The good thing about this is that if you do the math, having a midlife crisis at 44 means you've still got a long way to keep going, baby. Granted you all have entire decades ahead of you before you have to worry about this, but I still feel it's my duty to prepare you for what lies ahead, Forewarned is forearmed. Or something like that. Here's a short guide to the upsides and the downsides of middle age: Downsides first: Midlife crises are a sexist phenomenon. Cases in point: Harrison Ford...

Does that come with the soup of the day?

Tomato Basil soup in Helsinki, Finland I just got my umpteenth chain e-mail. This one is a recipe exchange. Been there. Done that. But I've got a better idea. How about a recipe chain post? Here's how I hope it will work. I will post a most delicious soup recipe. Then each of you will contribute your favorite soup recipe as a comment. I'm thinking that if weren't for the fact that it's almost the weekend (we all know everyone goes back to their real lives on weekends) we could potentially have a month's worth of meals if everyone plays along. How? Well, if we get at least 15 recipes and each batch of soup makes enough for two meals, you can eat half one night and freeze the rest. And that could take care of all the cooking required for the rest of the month of January. Cool! Any players? I'll start. White Bean Chili this is a kid friendly soup--even my kids who won't eat beans love this soup 4 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded (methods vary for getti...

NOT! Just yesterday as my nostrils were defrosting from the arctic (no--it's actually colder here than in some places in the arctic right now) air I sent up a little prayer of thanks for things such as central heating, Milguard double insulated windows, shoes and socks, black leather gloves, cozy quilts, but especially that central heating. At precisely 3:20 a.m. I was awakened from my toasty slumber by Z~. "Mom, the power is out." Normally I'm not so worried by such an announcement, but when it's below zero outside that kind of news alarms me. I round up all the candles I can find. First order of business is to shed some light on the subject. I never go anywhere without my trusty reminder of my all-time basketball hero, Larry Bird Next we call the power company. I love calling the power company because even though our instructions during a power outage are expressly spelled out that we are to call them and inform them of the outage they always reply, "Duh,...
