I have been with LJ for 6 years. They're evil.

I finally moved.

Vince nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! I trusted you. See what Chris Brown started?

Marley has a cold (hardcore booger action) and I have a ear infection/cold/leprosy/the plague and now Bobby has a scratchy throat. The best thing is that Marley is waking up (the last two nights) and screaming in pain for hours at a time. It is hard to get her soothed and back to sleep because her nose is stuffed up and she cannot nurse comfortably... you know because she will suffocate. Ai ai ai

I procurred some ear drops for my ear infection so here is hoping that will improve.

Why's it gotta be black peppa fo?

Here is hoping the weather tomorrow is lovely and we can get our fanny collective outside.

I want to see The Soloist right now.

I have an ear infection. Ow.
Marley has to have an ultrasound on her fontanel to check for fluid on her brain.
Awesome day, fail.

Today we spent all day at Mt. Airy.  A big bunch of us gathered to throw frisbees, kick soccer balls, play with Littlest Pet Shops... and grill foods.


Trent's daughter Zoey is visiting for her spring break. Her little brother Josiah also came. She is basically a carbon copy of me when I was that age (except she does not have the huge horse teeth). Skinny stick girl with stringy hair who loves animals and doesnt quite get the people thing but loves to put on an act.

Well while the two kids, Marley & I were on the playground swings they are both talking my ears off about whatever topics pop into their heads at 900 words a minute. Football..  cheerleading... the devil... what the sky is made up of... Than they fall upon the topic of Trent. And Zoey says (in her very very clear LOUD kid's voice), "My dad has this computer game and he can win real money on it. He plays it a lot. Even though it is boring. He has 88 dollars on it!"

The other adults laugh and Trent gets to have a red face, only to be made worse as they go on to describe the cigar they found in his window box and how they threw it at a squirrel blah blah blah. Hilarious!

For those who are wondering about what the sky is made up of... According to Zoey... Heaven is white and the sky is blue and... and clouds are where people from Nigeria have taken bites out the sky and heaven is peaking through.

Or they may be roasted potato.

But I am just so happy I will take a moment out of my normal deliberately modest parenting style to say...

Marley won her second Picture Of the Week on my ivillage forum. So in 4 times competing she won twice! I am so lucky to have a beautiful daughter... even though this week's theme was "Funny Faces"... wait a second...

Her badges of honor made by a sister boardie:

So Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday I went to Mt. Airy and either frisbee golfed or walked the aerobics trails. It feels awesome to go outside! I will walk the trails everyday if I can, though I lost motivation yesterday because I returned my cheapy mp3 player because it kept playing my audiobooks out of order. :( If anyone has a unused mp3 player I'd like to borrow it, or buy it on the cheap.

We are going to the dog park today. Today is the first day of Bob's 4 day weekend :)

Oh and the other day I saw an owl being chased by a hawk, very cool! Oh and I saw a guy who loved woodpeckers, but I have been informed that that story is best told in person, so... no story for you. :D

Marley started army crawling forward yesterday at bible study.

WHeeee!
Here is Marley's (first of two) St. Patty's day outfits. Till she pooped through it.

Ok I am going on the elimination diet. I am doing this for my daughter. Who knew this would be the way love expresses itself. *Sigh*

The first three weeks are the hardest right? What if I get results right away? Then I will be too happy to care about milk or bread. What if I get questionable results in three weeks... Argh. Goat cheese pizza please. :(



She's putting her warm cushiony hands on my ribcage right now and the warmth is shocking. Oh love, oh love, oh love!
Milk, nuts, eggs, wheat, soy... do I eat anything else? Love, love, love...

I feel this obsessive need to declutter. I took 4 boxes and a bag to SVDP the other day but I feel like so much more needs to go. We are bound to accumulate more STUFF. Why not keep ownership rotating?

I really want a cigarette right now. No matter how long it has been since my last, I still want another. Even though I think they stink and taste bad. I don't let logic cloud my obsessions. Gross. I guess that is a benefit of being broke, the temptation to buy/smoke cigarettes is a moot point.

Martha inspired me.

Mine is still WIP but I thought since mine has the advantage of sporting man-candy I'd post it.


I really really need to touch-up or paint these walls. Yucko.

MMA = brutality.

There is much to be said for and against violence for violence's sake. I won't say anything, either way.

I am a little obsessed with Christopher Walken's Twitters right now. Normally I would assume because he is an actor that he would be more... how shall I put it? Phony Bologna. His twitters are cynical and sometimes self indulgent but they rarely fail to amuse. Who knew a man who makes his living being other people might have something rather genuine to offer?

When unchecked my brain can take terrible twisted roads or create whimsical fantastic scenes, or both.

Either way, I am an Island.

For this awesome link.

What Greek Goddess are you?

You are Demeter! You are like Demeter, goddess of agriculture, harvest and earth. You are very altruistic, as you have natural instinct to nourish and provide for those around you. Without "mother-earths" like you, this world would be without hope and underdeveloped, both mentally and physically. You are the foundation on which we stand and the sustenance in what we consume.

So on Friday we went to Dewey's and to see Jo Koy, it was a lot of fun. Koy was hilarious and a bit of a drama hound when some person answered their phone during the show. I would have been unhappy too but he harped on it too long.

Saturday, Sunday & Monday were all spent outdoors. Grilling at the Combs', walking or at the park. Thank God for this weather. Also I went to Emily's baby shower. I left early to make sure I got there on time and was still late because I went to the wrong restaurant. And the person who sat across from me, (who may have been Matt's mom?) leaned across the table and put a piece of ice in Marley's mouth. Marley started crying and coughing and the woman said "Oh my kids liked it." I almost yelled at her, instead I left shortly after. So sorry Emily! Also I hope that my gifts did not suck!

I have been reminded that cheerfulness can be important.

Here is proof. *Hops in a time machine*

Now back to the Future!

Parent failboat!

Robyn said yes to babysitting for a few hours on Friday!
Bob just revealed to me our plans for Friday while my darling darling sister watches Marley-bird.

We're going to Brio (or if that fails, Dewey's Pizza) than we are going to see Jo Koy perform at the Funny Bone! I have not been there since I saw Mitch Hedburg (hello forever ago). I am so PUMPED! If you don't know about Jo Koy you better ask somebody! Yay!!!

*dance, prance, sing*
<3 <3 <3

PLUS My favorite episode of "Good Eats" is on (the one about Milk).
AND Bob is picking up milk and double stuffed cookies right now.

Can this be improved upon? Sure, Marley could sleep through the night tonight, but I won't be greedy. ;)
Yay Yay Yay Yay Yay Yay Yay Yay Yay Yay Yay Yay!!!!

The last two days were great. On Sunday Marley-bird, Bobby & I went to Church than met up with Dan and Trent and went to Findlay Market. They bought a lot of meat. Than we went to Kroger for produce. Than they proceeded to cook up a (meat) storm. And Steve, Lafe, Ken, Timm, Kate, Iris, Erin & Noah all came over. We played Balderdash, jammed out and played adjusted-for-poorness Pictionary.

Yesterday Bob and I hung out till I went to Bible Study (which was chaotic but went ok). After I got home Bob played with Marley than I put her to bed, she did the usual waking up every 15-25 minutes except one 1 hour stretch. Bob and I sat on our cuddle-chair and watched "PS I love You" (romantic but could have been way better with way less Jennifer Garner)  and "Definitely. Maybe" (very cute!)

I am pretty sure that is the first (and most likely last) time we watched two romantic movies in a row. lol
