The Walgreens Has So Much Awesomeness!

I'm just overwhelmed with the awesome.

Buy it through this Amazon link and they'll give me like $0.20

which makes my life even more complete, right?

I'm glad we all agree on this. Such an agreeable evening.

What I found at the Walgreens.

I'm thinking that for $19.99, it will make my life complete. What a deal.

Morbid Thursday: A Conversation with Dr. Lily (or Ms. Go Hide?)

Lily: "The thing about knives, Mommy, is that they cut you."

me: "You speak truth."

Lily: "They can cut any part of you. They can cut your throat and your arms and your legs and your head and your face and your toes."

me: "Yes, but you are not going to use a knife to do that, are you."

Lily: "I think it's possible to cut off your own fingers."

me: "Okay, now I'm going to need you to actually say the words, 'I will not touch knives.'"

Lily: "There would be a lot of blood if that happened. A whole big pool of blood."

me: "Repeat after me, 'I. will. not. touch. knives.'"

Lily: "Okay, okay."

me:  "Say it."

Lily:  "Geez.  No knives.  Okay?"

me: "And you won't let your friends touch knives, either, right? Because blood is gross."

Lily: "Mommy. Blood is not gross. It's just part of us. The liquid part."

me: "Blood is totally gross."

Lily: "No. It's just wet. The only thing about blood is that it means pain."

me: "Yes. PAIN. That's the part you should dwell on. Because all this talking about blood and knives is very disturbing. Unless you want to be a doctor when you grow up. And then it's only slightly less disturbing."

Lily: "I would be a very good doctor."

me: "I sort of agree."

Lily: "I think owies are just so interesting."

me: "That's better. Come give me a kiss."

Lily: "Oh, I don't think so. Faces have way too many germs. You can get me sleeping medicine, though."

me: "You want to be drugged to sleep?"

Lily: "Yes, please."

me: "Oh my heck."

Morning Art

Steve: "Hey, Lily, go show Mommy the picture you drew."

Lily: "Look, Mommy! Isn't it great?"

me: "Oh, wow. That's really great. What is it?"

Lily: "Well, see, there was this blue monster. And he ate a lot of people. This is their blood!"

Sam: On Being Exploited by Marketers

[we're watching TV; I start to fast-forward through the commercials.]

Sam: "Mommy, Mommy, stop! Why are you doing that?"

me: "Because we don't want to watch the commercials. They're just trying to get us to buy stuff we don't need."

Sam: "But I really LIKE commercials."

me: "You LIKE them?"

Sam: "Yeah, me and Dad both like commercials." [True. Steve loves commercials. He's in marketing so it's a professional interest and stuff.]

me: "Blah. I just don't understand why you like them. They're so annoying."

Sam: "Well, see, it's simple. I like commercials because they tell me what I'm supposed to think about stuff."

me: "Oh, geez. That's so Fahrenheit 451."

Sam: "They also remind me that I'm hungry."

yeah, I'm over my rage now.

(thanks Barb for this supercute pic of Sam and his cousin Charlie)

Just something to consider before you move to Utah

Someday, your two year old will drop something. Her hands will be full and she won't want to bend down. So she'll let out a full-on martyr sigh (Mormons have PERFECTED these) and she'll say, "Oh. My. HECK."

It's like the train wreck that you just CAN'T STOP WATCHING

Oh, Geez. Somebody save me.

You could even call me on the phone (and ya'll know how I feel about the phone). Or just knock on my front door and physically pull me AWAY from the TV!!

please?!

Wow! Now THERE'S a good reason to date someone!!!

I was googling Twilight spoilers because I didn't feel like reading the other three books. I found this utube summary of the first book, which, if I had known about, I totally wouldn't have had to read the book! Ah well. My favorite part, though, was someone's comment down below:

"Though Jacob may be healthier, she can't live without Edward and I think Edward loves her a lot more. I mean **he's gone so long not killing her** " (emphasis mine.)

The thing is, I really think she was being sincere.
