Gratuitous ‘So What’ Thursday

Thursday, January 8th, 2009

One of Maren’s favorite songs, right now, is “So What” by Pink.

Personally, I’m so sick of that stupid song it’s like someone is sticking knives deep into the caverns of my ears everytime it’s played.

I guess that’s just par for the course, though.

However, it’s also one of my niece’s favorite songs as well.

My sister shot a video of my lovely little niece singing (screaming?) the song one morning while she was eating breakfast.

It’s really pretty funny so I thought I’d share it.

Gratuitous ‘My Kid Is Tougher Than Yours’ Thursday

Thursday, January 1st, 2009

First off, Happy New Year!

I hope you had a great New Year’s Eve and I wish you nothing but awesomeness in 2009!

Now, onto this Gratuitous Thursday post.

I just bought one of those pull-up bars you can put in your doorway.  I love doing pull-ups,  but never had a pull-up bar at home (only the studio) because i didn’t want to ding up my doorways or have a giant piece of equipment like I have at my studio.

Well, when I put it together and was testing it out Maren decided she wanted to give them a try.  Honestly, she’s a pretty tough little chicky, and I”m not just saying that because she’s my daughter.  I couldn’t do pull-ups until my late teens (which is why I do them 3 times a week now), but she’ll be bangin’ ‘em out by the time she’s 3!

She even threw in a leg raise for good measure.

So, yes, my kid is tougher than yours!

Have an awesome New Year’s Day…and Go Huskers!  I hope my Huskers beat the living crap out of the Clemson Tigers.  My prediction  Huskers: 69  Clemson Kitty Cats:  3

Gratuitous Chocolate Muffin Eating Thursday

Thursday, December 18th, 2008

On my birthday we went and stuffed our faces at one of our favorite brunch places…yes I said brunch…and yes I said we stuffed our faces.

The little munchkin is in one of those phases of her life where she really doesn’t want to eat anything unless it’s called a Fruit Snack or chocolate, which is really kind of maddening.

But we were able to get a few things shoved down her gullet so we gave her a chocolate muffin.  I really wished another picture I took turned out well because she was smiling with chocolate in ALL her teeth and she looked like some backwoods hillbilly who decided to dress nicely for the day, but alas the iPhone didn’t snap it soon enough and it was all blurry.  Damn iPhone.

Gratuitous Cruisin, Boy Watchin Thursday

Thursday, December 11th, 2008

This is from last night.  We were at one of those germ infested playgrounds at the mall and Maren decided she wanted to cruise with the dalmation.  I think she was checking out the boy next to her the whole time, though.

God I dread the teenage years.

Thanksgiving Day Gratuitous Thursday

Thursday, November 27th, 2008

Maren’s birthday is Saturday..she’ll be 2.

I don’t know where those 2 years have gone, but to say they flew by is an understatement.

She’s talking like crazy.  She’s almost completely potty trained.  She runs around and tries to do workouts with me and Andrea.

It’s just not right that she can grow up this fast.

Then part of me wishes we could just bypass this whole Terrible Twos thing because those suck!

Oh well, just part of the whole growing up thang I guess.

Have a great Thanksgiving!
