Blogger, why do you hate me so? (and other fun topics)June 9th, 2006 @ 9:46 am
There are so many topics to discuss today.
First and foremost, what is up with Blogger this week? I know I’m not the only one that is having issues. My video was all jacked up (I guess I can only blame Youtube for that one, right?) and my side bar…heck, do we even need to discuss my side bar issues?
I’m pretty sure I fixed the video from yesterday. Go here if you are just dying to see it. (See, I have a problem with talking things up and then having them not be worth all of the talking up. I’ll learn.)
The World Cup started today in my second favorite Country, Germany. The Baby has the cutest little shirt to wear to show his support for Germany and all things soccer (thanks, Katja).
I heard an interview on NPR last night with a German journalist, in which he agreed that the German soccer players “play like tanks”, but they would never use that phrase because it has to do with war. And Germans don’t like to talk about war.
While addressing The Baby’s birth announcements this week, I decided I am not Emily Post and don’t know the correct etiquette for addressing envelopes. When it’s to a couple, do I write out “Mr. and Mrs. Moss”, or “Jason and Stacy Moss”, or “The Jason Moss Family”? Or is it “The Moss’” or “The Moss Family”? Dude seriously, I don’t know. I am sure a simple Google search would give me the right answer, but that’s much easier. No, I want to lay in bed after a midnight feeding and wonder about it. (Oh my gosh, is it “lie” in bed or “lay” in bed? Man, I really should have paid attention in English 101.)
The Baby slept through the night two nights in a row this week. TWO NIGHTS. Which I take to mean I can now tell people, “my baby sleeps through the night!”. It’s official. Of course, he woke up once last night. So all bets are off. But I blame this on the fact that he had his shots yesterday.
Today my folks are driving into the city and are taking The Baby and I to a museum. A museum that I used to live less than a mile away from, but never took the time to actually go inside of. We should take bets as to whether or not they will pay my way, or even pay for lunch? The King thinks they will, since my brother will also be there and he’s so good at getting the folks to pay for everything he does. I don’t think they will. That means it’s 50/50. Start placing your bets.
Today I dressed The Baby in the first 3-6 month outfit. And although it’s awesome and has John Lennon on it, it still makes me shake my head to think that my tiny baby is growing up. And apparently faster than the regular babies. Oh well.
I guess I’d better get used to it.

I usually go with “The Moss Family” if there are children. If there aren’t any, then I do “Mr. and Mrs. Jason Moss.” Because that’s what our wedding invitations told us to do.

Sounds like a fun day. I’ll bet for the parents paying. Mine always do, and I used to feel bad about it, but then I realized, hey they have a hell of a lot more money than I do, so now I just let them. It’s what parents are for (among other things), right?

You have a mooching brother, too? Where do these guys come from? Mine can talk anyone into giving him anything he wants. One day at the lake, he begged a fisherman for a fish. It was all very biblical.

IT IS SO WEIRD THAT WE ARE RIGHT AT THE SAME POINT WITH THESE BOYS! Evan also slept through the night last night but I am afraid to post it and jinx it. He also had 4 shots today. He is also in the 90th percentile for weight and height (not quite off the charts, though).

I always say “The Moss Family”. It covers everyone (except people like me who didn’t take their husband’s last name)!! That’s awesome that he slept through the night two nights in a row! Yay sleep!

My baby slept through the night, too! Oh wait, I lied. Still a night terrorist. If you don’t stop bragging, I’m taking you off my blogroll.
KIDDING.

Yeah, soccer! The opening game was sooo great! We watched it outside with lots of friends and food… Germany is talking about nothing else at the moment. Everybody is going crazy about SOCCER!!
Oh, and Germany won 4:2 against Costa Rica!

HA! I think you should address the envelopes like “The Moss.” Better yet, you could write “Da Mosses” - or even “Dem Dere Mosses.”
It’s more fun that way - screw etiquette.

I figure that wedding invitations are the only thing I’ll ever address correctly, and I’m not sure I even did those correctly.
Oh, and it’s “lie down”…I have to teach this very lie vs. lay thing to my 6th grade students, even though I know that they’re probably never going use it correctly in real life.

They grow up fast. It’s freaky. I mean, really really freaky. I know everyone says that but I didn’t believe it until I started seeing it for myself.

I know you’re in a shame spiral for not knowing which “lie” or “lay” to use, but post already…we forgive you.
