To Zumba or Not to Zumba

Ummmm…not.
You see, as much as I wish I could and I wish that I had enough control over my physical coordination, I know better.
Our sportsclub has Zumba classes and they keep telling me to sign up. For those of you who live under a rock and haven’t heard of Zumba yet, it seems to be [...]

Lesson for the day

Sometimes life gives you lemons. You’ve probably heard in the past that you should make lemonade with those lemons, or throw them back. How about this one? When life gives you lemons, build a lemonade stand and use the profits of your business to buy a machine gun. Let’s see if life makes the same [...]

I love gullible people.

Today I walked to Safeway with a friend of mine who shall remain nameless due to her highly gullible nature.
We both bought bags of grapes, and she started eating hers as soon as we left the store.
“Don’t eat your grapes, they’re covered in pesticides!”
“Yeah, but I don’t want to wait till we get home–I’ll just [...]

2ish thingamajigs

1. We have some couchsurfers from Baltimore spending the night tonight. Awesome. If I never post on this again, it’s because they killed us in our sleep. Haha.
2. I was out with some girlfriends last night till 2ish, so it’s probably a good thing I didn’t post a blog. Who knows what that might have [...]

One of the many challenges of ESL: you can’t spell phonetically, sometimes.

Introducing: The Manican
not to be confused with Pelican, Pemmican, Mexican, or Vatican, the lesser known ESL-challenged cousin of the Mannequin is actually the brain-child of a new exec. at NIKE. It seems the Just Do It slogan needs to be forgotten just like hairstyles in the ’90’s. NIKE’s solution? Man-I-Can!

Repeat Offender

Violet pooped in the tub…again. This is officially the third time. It was cute the first time. Actually, it was cute this time too, because she pooped and then saw her poop in the water and got scared of it.
The not cute part? getting her cleaned up so fast and downstairs for the rest of [...]

Pinata Post

I called it that because this one is a mixed bag of goodies. Here we go.
First off, I forgot to mention yesterday that in the midst of my shameful bowling episode, Violet came to my rescue and peed all over me so that we had to leave. There’s a first for everything I guess. She [...]

I’m afraid we might be raising a cannibal

Violet likes to bite. Her cannibalistic tendencies are displaying themselves right now as she and AJ play on the bed next to me. She just put a towel over his face and bit his nose. At least she’s a civilized cannibal and covered his face first.
I might add that while we do not condone biting in [...]
