X-Factor

December 22, 2006 – 5:58 pm

I love the X-men.

menjI do. I used to collect the comics with an ex-boyfriend, and in my rush to RUN away from that relationship, I conceded the collection to him in our parting. (dumb arse move of the week) It was mostly the Age of Apocolyspe series that I miss most for reasons I will expand on later. I always had a particular affinity for the charaters Storm and Rouge. *just a note that in the movies both Storm and Rogue are a complete let down.  
Moving on - I liked Storm cause she was the black charater, a woman mind you and dude- she could control the weather. How cool is that, I think I kinda feel like rain… and poof you got some rain.

Now Rogue she was a completely other ball of wax. Her gift - and curse, if you will - was that she pulled the life out of anyone she touched.

lazy poster recap

December 20, 2006 – 5:57 pm

I have written this entry at least four times, this is a much more condensed version. Which really sucks cause the whole thing was pretty good the first two times, it was average the third time, and then we got this one. Go figure?My neighborhood is becoming unrecognizable to me.
It makes me question my decision to raise my kid here. Makes me wonder if it is not worth it to run.

Flash back - Kids Incorporated - Point Of No Return

yes I am about to age my self terribly. I also want to see if this whole youtube thing is working on my blog- I loved Kids incorporated when I was a kid, i also loved the second coming for the MMC.

albert feilds was SOO fine to me - I had no delusions about the Kid - thought he was gay when I was twelve and even though I have all of his adult albums (rashaun patterson) I still think hes not singin to me… go figure.

Missing an Aunt

December 13, 2006 – 5:38 pm

I have an Auntie. She is awesome, has always been there for me. Always. She is my mothers sister. We are as much alike as we are different. I’m sure the portions of me that drive my mother insane are probably the same parts that drive her crazy about her sister. She has been at every event in my life. EVERY ONE. Was there at the birth of my child, sorta, in a afraid of blood and gore way, I stepped out side but came right back in for the good parts kind of way. Was at my wedding on another continent mind you. She has wiped up more of my messes, including but not limited to the destruction of a car. I love her so, I wish I could give her the grandchildren she wants. Her son , my cousin is not being cooperative in this endeavor. She is the auntie

Dear Santa,

December 13, 2006 – 3:21 pm

I’ve been a good mom all year. I’ve fed, cleaned and cuddled my child on demand, I wake at any given hour for night tremors. Her clothes are always clean and her wardrobe is way, WAY bigger than mine. She has out grown more shoes in the last three months than I’ve purchased for my self in the last five years. I clean up the insta-messes so my husband doesn’t have to. And I do her hair even though she acts like I’m scalping her when I do it.

I was hoping you could spread my list out over several Christmases, since I had to write this letter with the dried out permanent marker my daughter normally uses to draw what appears to be tribal tattoos allover herself, on the back of a receipt in the basement while doing laundry between cycles, cause I’m trying

Why I hate that I love IKEA

December 7, 2006 – 5:50 pm

ikeaI really really really want to go to IKEA to do some christmas shopping for my kid.

The closest one is 274 miles away. the one that has the items I want is 294.20 miles from my front door.

Ikea has a catalog. But get this - the don’t offer the items in the catalog for over the phone or online ordering.

Then pray tell what is the friggin point of the catalog?!?

well according to Neil over at Ikea, the catalog serves as a guide to the customers in the store.

Pardon me Neil, let me make sure I got this striaght. Your Catalog is not for people who can’t get to an IKEA, its for the people already in it, or going to go to it? You print up a two hundred page guide for the people who already have access?

this is easily the dumbest thing I think I have ever heard of from an actual compnay that supposedly prides its self on its customer service.

sad thing is….

I still wanna go.

More Christmas Cheer

December 5, 2006 – 11:04 am

kid journalWhen I had Cammy I had grand visions of the kind of mom I would be. And one of the things I was most adamant about was writing. Basic writing. I wanted Cammy to be the type of kid who writes notes and letters to people. Thank you cards, and invitations. Just thought of you’s, and journals. Not simply be resolved to emails and text messages wrttn n srt hnd jus 4 ppl who can’t read WITH VOWELS IN THE WORDS. 

This my dear friends is a sore spot for me – this digital state of what ever letter this generation occupies.

Mom vs. Dad

December 4, 2006 – 4:01 pm

child beauty Jerry and I are slowly coming into our parenting roles. Granted our child is fast approaching her third birthday. However I think our parenting styles have morphed into what I expect to be a holding pattern for a little while. Minor tweaks withstanding. I was reading on another blog how one dad was reflecting on the difference between his parenting style and his wife’s parenting style. The differences were humorous to say the least. Jerry and I are vastly different in basic stereotypical mommy daddy ways.
