That's my bench!!
Okay, this is really bad but sooo funny. I know all kids have at least one time during their toddler years that say something that sounds like cuss words right?

Cherish things that matter
Get your kleenex ready. I love this blog, I don't know her but man she had some good stuff to say. I was totally full on crying from this story. It just makes you really appreciate life and how fragile it is. All the other 'stuff' in life really doesn't matter.

My mom just told me about a super cool site called http://www.pandora.com/ It's sort of like an online radio station but you put in whatever artist or song you like and it will find/create a radio station with songs that are in that genre. It's pretty cool, it doesn't necessarily play all of that particular artist but for instance, I typed in John Mayer and it's been playing John Mayer, Jack Johnson, Dave Matthews....etc. It's a great way to hear some new music without having to download. Check it out!!

food
I've been tagged!
Okay Card Girl tagged me to list my wierd food habits....Here goes.
1. Not wierd to me but Marmite on Toast ( think Vegimite or that stuff that Lucy had on I Love Lucy) My hubby calls it tar-in-a-jar, quite a good description actually.
2. I do like frogs legs for the taste but they are too much effort. Tiny legs, not much meat.
3. I have eaten snails in garlic butter but they are not my favorite and any boys in the room may want to skip this one.... Goats Testicles. I was obliged to eat them in the Middle East, one of those "don't offend your hosts or they may put you out in the desert" things. I did refuse seconds though.
4. My favorite food ever is Leban with Lamb. A kind of reconstiuted dried goats milk sauce with lamb chops boiled in it. That sounds pretty foul to me as I read it but believe me it is a piece of heaven served with rice!
5. And to round out the list.....Chocolate custard with Ginger Cake. If I am in a generous mood when I get back some of you may get to try this.
I am now tagging Lorraine, go girl!

One for the girls
Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord
my shape to keep.
Please no wrinkles, Please no bags
And please lift my butt before it sags.
Please no age spots, Please no gray
And as for my belly, Please take it away.
Please keep me healthy, Please keep me young,
And thank you Dear Lord, For all that you've done.
Five tips for a woman....
1. It is important that a man helps you around the house and has a job.
2. It is important that a man makes you laugh.
3. It is important to find a man you can count on and doesn't lie to You.
4. It is important that a man loves you and spoils you.
5. It is important that these four men don't know each other!
Foot Note:
One saggy boob said to the other saggy boob:
'If we don't get some support soon, people will think we're nuts.'

weird food
I have been 'tagged' by card girl to list 5 weird/crazy things I eat:
First of all, Card Girl really does have some weird things so check out her list http://thecardgirl.blogspot.com/2008/06/tag-weird-food.html
Let me see.....
1. One of my fave snacks is Lays potato chips with cottage cheese (try it, it's seriously yummy)
2. I love nutri grain eggo waffles with ice cream on top drizzled with hot syrup (this is only eaten 1-2 times a year, way to start the day with 2000 calories right?)
3. I hate any meat that is sliced thick. It has to be thin or shaved, cheese too. I hate the texture of thick stuff. Even string cheese, I have to eat it the old fashioned way, by peeling it. I still even peel apart my swiss cake rolls. While those are delicious no matter what, they are still better in layers!!
4. My other favorite snack is hard pretzels with cream cheese or dipped in a chocolate malt.
5. I hate Ketchup and mustard
Sorry Card Girl, I hope I didn't disappoint you, I don't have as many weird things as you :)
Okay, now I am tagging Loraine, Jewelry Girl and Ann.

More PooP
Okay, I just have to give an update. Z is going poop on the potty!!!!! Yeah!!!! I know, TMI for some people, but since I shared my little Z poop droplets on the floor story I had to share that we have made it to the other side.
I know we may still have a relapse, but we are celebrating with lots of poo-poo treats for now.
