I fought the wall, and the wall won.

So, this weekend we were all in bed together, giving Elliott her morning "ba-ba" and watching the weekend news for a report on how hell-a hot it was going to be in chi-town, and the wandering bean somehow got above the pillows-line and smacked her forehead square in the wall. This was only minutes after she crawled over me, trampling my boobs in the process, and vomited all over my tank top.

Its hot being a mom.

Don't expect to hear too much outta me this week, I am over at KatoChanel's using the computer because SBC, that evil bastard somehow screwed up my DSL and can't seem to fix the situation until sometime next week. Talk about not gettin the job done. I was so enraged today while on the phone for over 1 1/2 hours, and having talked to 6 seperate idiots, that i started to sweat while trying to figure out what the hell happened in the 1st place.

Its over 100 degrees here and i have no internet... its great to be me.

Ladies & Gents hang on to your hats...

In nonobaddao land we were having a meltdown of sorts today. Somehow, I was taken over by aliens, who copied my voice patterns (it could happen) and those aliens agreed to have 6 adults, 2 king charles spaniels, Fer, me, ellie-bean & lilah all stay in our 3 bedroom 1 1/2 bath house for a weekend. Did I mention that all 6 added adults were family?

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiighhhhhhhhhhhhht.

At this time I believe that it was some sort of experiment in human behavior, more specifically breaking points. So I don't think my Mummy was too suprised when I called and asked her to leave the dogs at home. BUT, the dogs are coming AND there is a god, who decided that Ellie's birthday weekend was not the time for her loving Momma to take a long vacation at the local nuthouse because somehow all remaining seats on Auntie Maynan's & Unkie Norwegian Pirate's flight were full before they could hit "confirm" on the website.

Now I am super sad that Auntie M & Unkie N-P aren't coming, we really, really really want them here (I mean, auntie maynan is The Bean's Godmother AND the bestower of Care Bears into her life) but, for once, or maybe just this time, Her Thoughtfulness (god) was planning for us all. And now they will be able to come and see a side of Chi-town they have not before. And I won't be planning an extended jaunt in a padded room.. so there's fun to be had all around. Well, except for the fact that I hear there's good drugs on the inside, but...........

HOW could they let Carly remember/recognize Reese was Charlotte infront of Sonny AND THEN NOT HAVE HER REMEMBER ONLY 20 MINUTES LATER!?!?!?!?!?! Again, Guza, Pratt, GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER. This is not a storyline to let play out forever. Oh, how did you love finding out out that indeed, Durant is not crippled.... He will be once Jason knocks in his kneecaps. Can you say Daytime Emmy?

You asked for it, you got it, ...Toyota

In response to all the questions about my hair over the past few days, I promise to

1. Take before & after shots of the new 'do.

2. Creat a picture gallery of sorts so that you can re-live those past crazy cuts & colors you all seem to love so much.

3. As for the color & style, well, you'll just have to wait and see now won't you. No fun in spoiling the suprise.

Plans & preps are currently underway for Ms Bean's very 1st birthday. The only words I have right now are...

Can't get no.... Can't gimmie no....

Last night is why I could greatly benefit from wireless web and a lap-top ("lap-top.... lap-top... It's not just a dog, it's for christmas too!"). Fer was holed up with the computer recording away while I was stuck contemplating life old-school style... taking pen to paper. My, how times have changed. My mass-garbage-media consumption has been at an all-time high from all this vacationing I've been doing. I was banned from reading one more US Weekly or People... "Stars! They're Just like US! They go to the grocery store! They drink Starbucks! They walk their dogs!" Awesome. Yeah, I can see why its got to go. I think its been contributing to my creative slump, my lump crumpled mess.

So many more ways than I thought possible I am missing LA & all its craziness. Maybe it's just the thought of a few chances that I didn't stick around to take, maybe its some faces that I wish I could see around, but..... Then I look at this crazy kid, already 11 months old, and she knows her family and I think really- thats the point.

Forward motion -

Sleestacks, if you are still around, you'll be happy to know I am cutting the majority of my hair off Saturday morning. You're right, I just can't take it anymore. I'm trying to make some changes around here people.

We're all DEVO

Vacation all I ever wanted, Vacation have to get away!

I know, I know. My lameness is overwhelming at times... even I am somtimes astonished at my supreme laziness when it comes to spending some time with you, dear internet. How ever do you put up with me?

Only 2 days ago I returned from an impromptu trip to o-HI-o. It was HOT HOT HOT and me and The Bean did some swimmin, ate good grilled foods, and just hung around in general with the fams. All of them. It was a good time, and I am the lame-ass that did not take any photos.

Its funny how when you are not on a work schedule, how much of your time can end up feeling like a vacation if you plan it right. But for our Fer, vacation is another matter intirely. He just called to inform me that his vacation had officially started, so I asked him how far into it was he already... "I'm standing here, waiting for the elevator." Niiiice. At least we have more grillin' & chillin to look forward to. We're headed to Union Pier for a few days of beach as we celebrate 6 (can you believe it?) years of marriage and Elliott's 11 month birthday. What the hell is happening people... time seems to be flying by weather I am paying attention or not.

Have fun checking out fireworks and avoiding drunk crazy people. Or to some of you, enjoy becoming drunk crazy people and blowing things up. Happy 4th.

Tivo, if you ever let me down again by somehow not recording GH for 4 out of the 6 days that I am gone, so help me god I am throwing you out the window. Do you understand me? Thank god it was not during sweeps, thats all I have to say.
