PSA - Driving with a ton of snow on top of your car

IS DANGEROUS! DUH!?!?!??!??!?!? Don't ya know eventually that snow is going to fly off your roof and smash into someone windsheild? Don't ya also know that the chances are y'all will be driving when that happens????? I realize snow is white and fluffy and innocent when it comes down but once it sits for a day and gets wet and cold and hard it can become a weapon! Much like a soft feathery turkey does when it's frozen.

Um, do you want to be hit by a ton of ice in the windsheild whilst going 60 mph on the expressway? No. Well, neither does anyone else so clean off the effin roofs of your cars. Just a little bit of the Golden Rule will go a long way here folks. Ya know the one that says don't hurl humongous blocks of snow and ice at 80 miles an hour from the roof of your van onto others peoples windsheilds while they unsuspectingly drive around town christmas shopping if you don't want it done to you....

Did I mention "DUH"????????????????!

Pondering Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Pancakes

Why do I bother pouring and mixing and spilling and flipping and buttering and all that jazz when the pancake is going to be picked apart by little human crow'esque fingers just to get the chips out? Why don't I just dump some gooey chocolate chips on a paper plate and call it breakfast?

Who do you feel worse for? Me or these disemboweled pancake carcassses?

Another installment of the baby photo shoot chronicles- Holiday 09

It's time for another holiday card!!! This time I enlisted the help of a professional, Grandma. Since she's taken pix of every brat on the island born between 1980 and 2000, and as many (if not more) bridezillas, I figured she was up for the challenge. There was very little bribing (the little amount there was didn't work), lots of "PRETTTTTTTTY PLEASE just sit still for a minute", a fair amount of grumbling under my breath, and a teensy weensy bit of photoshop but the final product is pretty G D awesome!!! See for yourself:



Some of you will get this in the mail and others will have to admire it from this page. If you happen to be in the latter category and want to be in the first category email me your address and you can have your very own copy!! :-)
