You learn something new every day.
Me: (changing Arie’s diaper) This looks more like a brown fart than a poop…
Arie: It’s a robot poop!
Me: Oooh, do robots make small poops?
Arie! Yeah!
Yes! Netflix finally has the third season of Toddlers & Tiaras available for streaming. My life is complete.
Being Elmo: A Puppeteer's Journey →
Guess what’s available for streaming on Netflix?!? Not sure if the link will work unless you’re signed in, but woo!!! I’m excited to watch this. :)
When you’re wearing underwear this uncomfortable for your TWELFTH Valentine’s Day with someone, you know you’re in love.

Arie: I NEED TO HAVE A BIRTHDAY!
Me: You need to have a birthday?
Arie: YEAH!
Me: Oh, well okay! Your birthday is in June!
Arie: I NEED TO HAVE IT!
Me: It's okay, you'll have one in June.
Arie: I NEED TO HAVE A BIRTHDAY!!!
Me: Well, you WILL have one...in June.
Arie: I NEED TO FIND IT ANIMALS!
Me: You need to find animals?
Arie: YEAH! (begins mewing.)
Good news: my throat has healed enough that it doesn’t hurt when I cough.
Bad news: I have a cold.
I ate a banana this afternoon and my throat really burned afterward and I was like, “Crap, I hope I’m not getting sick!” : |
I must be doing well if I forgot that I had a tonsillectomy two weeks ago. Post-op is tomorrow! :D
You know what’s kind of a gross snack when you have two giant holes in your throat that aren’t very easy to clean? Nori.

I just ate a chicken sammich! I’m on the fence about how well it went, but at least it’s in my belleh!
Pineapple was a bad choice.
Gong Xi Fa Cai!
My throat hurts.
When Arie first saw me laying in bed after my surgery he was terrified and didn’t want to leave my side. I think he’s over that now though, because every time he catches me shuffling around the house he points and yells, “No! You sleep it bed! You sleep it bed NOW!” I don’t know whether to feel loved or bullied…
Home safe, surgery went well. One of the last for the next couple of days that wasn’t canceled bc of the snow. Feel like crap. Going to sleep.
I just sprayed my throat with chloraseptic to practice for next week. It’s kind of gross. I got “soothing citrus,” and it tastes more like “orange flavored hospital.” I’m not a fan.
Touché, Mother Nature. I did not expect a blizzard.
I’m concerned that there’s not enough wind and rain going on right now. Oh, and hail. I can barely hear the hail over the wind, which worries me because I feel like it should be MUCH louder than this. Maybe if the ice chunks were bigger that would help. There we go. That’s a good start, but I have like a thousand errands to run this morning and I’d love to see some larger...
Arie refused to let me break his fortune cookie in half, and instead insisted on biting his way through the cookie in large chunks until he pulled this out of his mouth: “You are inclined to come up with unconventional solutions.”

OMG. I have two BofA accts that have been sitting with small but positive balances for the last few years. My tiny savings acct receives a sporadic “monthly maintenance fee” a couple of times a year that they won’t refund, but can’t explain, and now my checking acct has gotten a $12 “monthly maintenance fee” for the last two months in a row, and I have no idea...
Happy 2012!!! :D

TV Lady: Final Destination 5 will be…
Me: Jesus Christ!
Brett: They really need to stop using the word “Final.”
More bedtime singing fun with Arie. Happy...
“Dis is Hanaween! Dis is Hanaween! Bodybody make!”
– Arie, who has seen The Nightmare Before Christmas more times than I can count, and keeps asking me to “open” our Christmas tree so he can get to Christmas Town and see Santa. (Translation: “This is Halloween! This is Halloween! Everybody scream!”)
49 minutes of my life to get $11.99 worth of free shipping from OTC. My logical side thinks it wasn’t worth it, but my stressed out holiday mom side says “I WILL HAVE MY FREE SHIPPING.”

Shannon and Ben are our heroes! They drove about 40 minutes out of their way and stood around in the pouring rain to help us get our car started. We now know that we 1) Should get AAA, 2) Should always try jumping our car first no matter what, even if it doesn’t seeeeem like it’s the battery, 3) Should learn more about cars, and 4) Owe the Kizers big time.
We’re in North Bend, it’s pouring down rain, we have a car full of suitcases and other stuff, a cranky toddler, and our car won’t start. And we have no idea why. And we don’t have AAA. I really, really, really wish we had AAA.
Brett: Do you know what today is?!?
Arie: I’m pooping! :D
Happy Thanksgiving, y’all! :)
