I Broke Maryn

We’ve been feeding Maryn baby food for awhile now, and she’s been eating it pretty good.. theirs been times that she’d eat a whole jar of baby food at a single sitting!

Yeah, those times, they’re gone.. I broke her. The other day we were having Pizza, and I was holding Maryn. She kept reaching for the piece of Pizza I was eating… so I let her try and reach a piece of crust..on her second try she got it (the first try, sent the crust flying across the room when she used the plate like a catapult). Once she grabbed the crust she quickly shoved it in her mouth and began sucking and gumming it… she loved it. And now.. we can’t get her to eat anything out of a jar =(

oops!

Odd Job

And you thought your job sucked… here’s a help wanted ad that sucks.. literally!

It seems a company in the UK is looking for volunteers to help them test a pill that changes the taste of “male ejaculate” to a “refreshing apple flavor”

my favorite bad pun from the linked article:

“will use an online blog to provide a blow-by-blow account”

ugh..thats worse then something I would have come up with!

Those interested can follow this link to apply.

The big 0.5

Today is Maryn’s 6 month birthday!

<cheer><applause>

Monday we took her to the Dr’s for her 6 month checkup (it would have been mean to do it today, since she had to get some shots, no one wants shots on their birthday!)

13lbs 7oz , 24 1/2 inches, with a 43cm head!

In good health, now that her refulx is under control.. and developing excellently! plus, now that that whole pertussis thing is over.. she’s happy =)

Child Birth

So all I hear is how painful childbirth is.. “oh the pain, oh the suffering” and it turns out.. its all a lie!

Your secret is out.. the media has leaked your secret that childbirth, is, in fact orgasmic for y’all.

Here’s the article, so you guys can find whichever girl leaked the truth, ruining centuries of having the “But I went through hours of labor” guilt line, and thank her for ruining it for you.

Here’s my favorite quote from the article:

“All my erogenous zones were stimulated. And I had a definite climax. I was doing the most feminine thing a woman can do and it felt fantastic.”

Father’s Day

Yesterday was Father’s Day. (duh!)

Kael planned the whole day out for our party. We started with a breakfast, made completely by Kael (Waffles and Bacon!).. followed by a trip to the park to feed some ducks and play. Maryn went down the slides a few times.. then it was off to McDonald’s for lunch (and to try and get any of the Cars happy meal toys he doesn’t already have). After nap time.. we headed on up to Lowe’s to try and find a bug zapper.. no bug zapper =( Then we just hung around the house and played until dinner (steak!)…

A very good Father’s Day!

Bug Zapper

WTF?!?!

How come I can’t buy a good old fashioned plug it in, watch the bugs fly into the light and get zapped bug zapper? I’ve been trying to find one for weeks now to replace one I can’t find the power cord for.

Wal-mart should have it right? they sell everything… Nope.. they stopped carrying them last year.

Target – they have what wally world doesn’t…. Nope.. they looked at me like I was insane..

Home Depot – Everything you need for your home… EXCEPT bug zappers… Oddly enough.. you can buy replacement bug zapper light bulbs from Home Depot…

C’mon.. why is this so hard? All I want to do is electrocute some bugs dammit!

I know I could get a bug spray.. but that just doesn’t have the same fun factor that zapping them does…
