My Wild & Crazy Guys

To Finn: You know I like to wake to the mellifluous voice of Steve Inskeep on Morning Edition.  Why, then, do you insist on setting your alarm to blast Weird Al Yankovich’s “Found It On eBay” when you know it is likely to piss me off?

Tell me why (I need another Pet Rock)

Tell me why (I got that Alf alarm clock)

Tell me why (I bid on Shatner’s toupee)

They had it on eBay

You’re lucky I really love you.

To Drew:  The Sunchips, marshmallows, saltines and roasted peanuts were actually intended for consumption, but if you’d rather painstakingly construct a culinary/architectural masterpiece with them it’s okay by me.  Using honey to hold “The Greatest Snack of Your Dreams” together was sheer genius, and the blue starberries add a bright, cheery touch.  Way to go, future Frank Lloyd Wright/Thomas Keller man!

To Porter:  The look on your face says there’s nothing more fun than jumping on the trampoline while splashing yourself with the hose.  I better put down this camera and join you.

    seriously– the trampoline looks like lots of fun!! It looks like you all have a really good time. That is all that matters– ridiculous memories.

    …
    blue…
    strawberries…?
    I guess I’ve been away too long.

    Also, count me with Finn and Busy Mom, the e-bay song is awesome. I should buy my kids some Weird Al, the Lordi (Finnish monster metal) is wearing thin.

    My Wife is going to be so mad when I recreate it, thank you!

    You are such a rockin’ mom, Glamore.

    I, on the other hand, do not know where to begin asking about blue strawberries.

    “Blue Starberries” are a main attraction of the Froot Loops Drew “eats” for breakfast. Just wanted y’all to know I can spell, and identify fake froot.

    What I'm Reading


    This book is told from an alcoholic's point of view. It provides insight into the disease, rehab and AA. Well worth reading if you're close to a severe alcoholic.

    I've never read any of his fiction, but his book about the craft of writing was awesome.

    Hey, I have a story in this book about how I'm not always the best mom. It's guaranteed to make you feel better about yourself, especially the part where I throw stuff at Finn.

    I put this golden oldie here because I love it and if you haven't read it you're missing out.

    The Boys Are Loving


    I heard Rick Riordan interviewed on NPR and went directly to the library to get these books. Porter absolutely adored them-- they were by far the biggest hit of the year.

    Drew and Porter are fighting over these books. Enough said.


    I didn't think Porter would like this, but I was desperate for him to read something, so I shoved it at him and it was a WINNER.

    Hooray-- there's a sequel to the original Diary. The guys are snarfing it up.


    Porter finished all the Harry Potter books so I started him on A Wrinkle In Time, and he's enjoying it. I bought the whole set so he'd have plenty to read for the next few months.
