Another Holiday Excerpt

Overheard telephone conversation between Liv and her Great-Grandmother yesterday:

"I am so surprised that you're still alive!

[pause]

No, really. I just can't believe that you're still alive!"

Nice!

Pimp Your Squid


Make your own cute squid here.

Step Away From The Cookies

This is what happens when you make way too many sugar cookies and then feel compelled to frost them all. I got bored with the usual holiday color scheme and shapes and instead started making breakfast food. (Like, duh, isn't that what anyone would do?) So here you have an order of cookies in the shape of two eggs, sunny side up, along with toast:


Toys - Part 2 of 3

Theme: Ugly

I think the Steve Irwin doll speaks for itself.





















Poor, poor MJ. I know this figurine is circa Thriller but it's really not doing him, or the person who's paying way too much money for it, any favors. (What's going on with his feet?)












And can anyone guess what this is right off the bat? I have to admit that it took me a minute. UPDATE: I know it's not really a toy but it is ugly. And so it stays on the list.

Random Order

Typically Liv's room is a mess but sometimes you'll find random order such as the conga line of animals I discovered yesterday morning:


















Later that afternoon the animals reappeared in a different formation and location:



















I absolutely love it.

Like a Big Pizza Pie

Definitely make a point of catching the moon rising tonight – it’s going to be the largest full moon of 2008!
The moon will rise right around sunset which, if you’re on the East Coast, will be 4:15 pm.
 
Here are a couple of jokes to help get you in the right head”space” for moongazing:
 
What did the metric alien say?
Take me to your litre!
 
How does a man on the moon get his haircut?
Eclipse it.

Toys - Part 1 of 3

I've been perusing a ton of kids toys recently and I totally fell back in lurv with both Schleich and Playmobil.

Schleich's got a great medieval line (I love the knight's weapon).



And Playmobil seems to have just about everything. The laundry set just kills me, as does the roman catapult.

















Just Call Me Fiddy

keeping it real, bitches...

Random Goodness

The guy in the black suit's dance and the surprise at the end totally crack me up.

Anyone know what kind of musical instrument that guy is playing? It sounds like a kazoo but looks like a cowbell.

MY DAD
So what have you been listening to lately?
 
ME
Oh, this and that.  Some ABBA…some..

A look of disbelief followed by a big rolling of the eyes.
