I've noticed that lately I only feel like blogging when I am supposed to be doing something else. Right now I am supposed to be cleaning since the house looks like wolves live here, but I decided I should do a post instead. This blog is an excellent procrastination tool. Besides, I can't exactly vacuum while the little one is sleeping. See? I really had no other choice.
- Baby showers include games. It's in the definition of baby shower. If you don't want to play games, do not attend. If you do attend anyway, suck it up and play the simple self-directed games that were chosen for you, do not complain. We could have made you taste baby food or smell melted candy bars in diapers, or worse. You got off easy. Hush now.
- Do not eat an entire piece of cake and then tell me that you "Really didn't like it". I will not believe you, nor will I care.
- My neighbor's tree has moss growing on it, but it's growing on the west side. Is that whole "Moss grows on the north side of a tree" thing wrong or is my neighbor's tree confused?
- When someone you know tells you their wedding date just be happy for them, do not tell them "That's a bad time of the year to have a wedding." Just say, "Congratulations".
- People will treat you like you let them treat you. If you don't stick up for yourself they will keep doing and saying the same sorts of things. If you want to be treated differently, you have to speak up about it. If that isn't working you need to enforce some rules and guidelines. Do not complain to me that they always treat you the same way. I can't do anything about it. Except tell what I've just said over and over again. Which gets old. Really old.
- If you order something from an at home party business, why do they make the tax + shipping so dang complicated? Make tax a percentage for each state and create a flat fee system for shipping. It should not be difficult and it should not require the party business owner to call me 2 days later telling me that I overpaid by $7.12.
- Why does my 15 month old daughter know how to turn on the x-box and how to open the little drawer for the disc? She also knows where the controllers are stored. If I put in Halo, do you think she would also know how to play capture the flag? Hmmm...

I am sure that she could beat me in Slayer too
The cake was incredible. Seriously. It made me extremely happy. Especially when I ate a piece for breakfast this morning.
The games were really quite fun. akj is an amazing shower hostess. I'm posting it for the whole world to see.
I read blogs when I should be doing other things.
Okay, so Attila is already more technologically adept than I am. This...somehow isn't a surprise. :-)
Moss will grow wherever the tree is cool, shaded, and damp. Is the west side of their tree shaded by something else? Does it get hit by their sprinkler system? Maybe the gnomes put the moss there to hide the entrance to their little gnome hole.
Kitten also learned the Xbox thing. They key is the illuminated ring encircling the on button. Stupid Microsoft, making it so damn appealing to a toddler.
