The Brownie Phenomenon

Do you like brownies? Do you want free brownies? Like, all the brownies? I have a trick for you.

My Son and I Are Crappy! (it's a good thing)

Last Fathers' Day, I interviewed my son about his father and typed it all up in a card for my husband. I printed a picture of Rick and Carl Grimes from "The Walking Dead" on the front, because my family is fun like that.

He loved it. He still has it hanging up at work a year later, and he gets compliments from coworkers on it all the time.

About a month later, I decided my blog should have an "About Me" page, but I didn't know what to write. So I asked my son to write it for me, and I turned it into its own post.

Here's What You Missed This Week 6/9/13 - 6/15/13

I've had another bout of writer's block this week. I still managed to bang out a couple of posts for you, though.

What I wrote

I used my wedding anniversary as an excuse for not writing more, and told you what I'd been up to. Spoiler alert: two, count 'em, two date nights. Anniversary Extravaganza

For Theme Thursday, I bummed everybody out by talking about my childhood again. I thought this was supposed to be a humor blog?  Eighth Grade Was Pretty Dramatic

I hate "Caillou." Don't we all? This is probably the 14,872nd blog post someone has written on that subject. But mine contains a shitty graphic, so there's that! In Case of Accidental Caillou Ingestion...

What I shared 

Remember when I went to Easthampton, MA and I was perplexed that all the street signs were wearing sweaters? Apparently, that's a thing.

My best friend texted me with some terrible news about my upcoming birthday. I didn't get as much sympathy as I expected. Maybe you could click over to Facebook and console me?

Someone emailed me thinking that I was a beauty blog, and I thought that was hilarious. I told you on Facebook, and you agreed.

What I read 

Vanessa at My Half-Assed Life had an awkward textual encounter, and I felt bad laughing at her misfortune, but I did it anyway. Monday kicked my ass again, and I should wear my glasses when texting.

Julie at I like beer and babies has taken up cartooning. She shows us how her daughter ruins her mornings in  Co-Sleeping is for Suckers

Remember when I told you how I switched to Feedly, but I couldn't come up with any reasons why you should? Jess from Don't Mind the Mess has some for you, and also some buttons for your blog! Thanks, Jess! Replace Google Reader With Feedly Don't forget, Google Reader is gone on July 1st! Switch now, before you lose all your blogs!

Tracy from Momaical guest posted over on Rants From Mommyland about the absolute worst thing that could happen to a mom at her OB/GYN appointment. Okay, maybe that's a little dramatic. But dude, this shit is hilarious. Go see. Gynecology Gone Wild

Tweets I enjoyed

I am so glad that I have boobs... If I didn't, where would all the food I spill go?

What do my breasts and Canada geese have in common? Migration.

The baby just handed me a steak knife. I can no longer deny my drawer closing problem.

And that's it! Have a rad weekend!

In Case of Accidental Caillou Ingestion...

You know when you're watching the DVR (or On Demand, or a DVD, or playing video games) and you switch back to live TV, and it's on the channel you last recorded? And how sometimes that sucks?

The other day, after watching cartoons, the TV treated my son to a five-second scene from "Fight Club" before I jumped on the remote and changed it. Luckily, it was the one scene from the movie that wasn't completely inappropriate. Unfortunately, now he keeps asking me what a "moosey" is. At least he's not asking me about "bitch tits."

Eighth Grade was Pretty Dramatic

I hated eighth grade.

No, I don't think you understand just how much I hated it. I hated all of the six schools I attended. Yes, six. Well, three weren't technically "schools" in the traditional sense of the word.
