The Common Cold

How long can a bad cold possibly last? Thirteen days and counting...

Brain Rot

When we were kids my Dad used to say that we shouldn't watch TV because "it will rot your brains." That was back in the Cosby Show days so imagine the damage it could do today. In the past week my husband has been traveling and I've been sick so I've had some lonely late nights to fill. I had seen a Gossip Girl episode or two and liked it but was a little disappointed because I had high hopes after their last venture. I watched all the other episodes online and ended up buying (on itunes) the remaining episodes that I couldn't watch on the CW website. I am totally hooked. I am starting to love the main squeeze (S&D) and love to hate (B&C) and am wondering, teenage like, if something will become of (N&J). I know, pathetic.

To make the brain rot situation worse, Project Runway started last week and right after Gossip Girl. I don't get Bravo so I've started inviting myself over to my friends' places at 10pm on Wednesday nights. I'm a T.V. whore! Speaking of Project, I'm a little bugged at Rami. If celebs have sported your dresses, that should strike your name off the amateur list in my book. The above is the winning look from last weeks challenge. When I saw it on the manequin I liked it but I don't like it at all on the model. It looks a like Statue of Liberty in shrouds of gray rather than copper. I think it makes the model's chest look lopsided (like she is nursing on one side.) I personally would have picked Victorya. Some of the girls on campus are going to start a betting pool to see who can pick the winner. Who do you choose? Pick your player and see if you can predict the winner too!

Flight 1282....or the lack thereof

If you are 16 months old and your 1.5 hr flight is delayed 5 hours; a few things you could do to pass the time are:

-Try to steal everyones' water bottle that the airline has handed out to "help pass the time."
-Untie the shoe of the English gentleman stranger next to you.
-Pull all items out of the diaper bag x10
-Drop your only sippy cup in the public bathroom stall and watch it roll behind the toilet.
-Stand in the middle of the concourse and yell in gibberish at all passers by.
-Approach nearly everyone at the gate.
-Leave your fingerprints on all glass surfaces.
-Wish your Dad was there to help your Mom.

Make sure everyone on flight 1282 knows your name.
Go around and around the column playing peek-a-boo!


Play near far in the middle of the concourse.


To your Mom's astonishment you could hold still for more than 2 seconds....until she realizes you are only still because you're working out 3 days of constipation!

Shine the floor with the blanky you sleep with!
Then lie down in that spot out of sheer exhaustion.

Watch intently as they unload all the bags from our aircraft.
Keep on the look out with the business dudes to see if our replacement air craft has arrived.

Get invited to the cock pit and sit in the captain's chair as your reward for such good behavior. A little room wholly dedicated to buttons and levers that light up- any toddlers' dream come true!

Having a Hay Day

Last week we went to one of my favorite Fall locations, Wilson Farms. This place is a pumpkin wonderland. They have every variety imaginable and a 700 lb pumpkin on display. That pumpkin could seriously feed a village. Before Halloween they also set up a Haunted Hayride where a tractor pulls you through the farmland with various spooky scenes set up. Wilson Farms also sells a sorts of delicious produce and prepared foods. My favorite take away is their chocolate milk which is pretty much all the goodness you can pack into a glass bottle. Probably all the calories too. Here are some pictures of Max at Wilson Farms playing in the pumpkin patch and enjoying the hayride.
