Red spots, happy thoughts, and big hairMay 21st, 2007 @ 7:01 am
I have quite a few things on my mind today. Hence the bullets:
- Babboo woke up on Friday covered in red spots. I’m no expert, but I was pretty sure it wasn’t a good thing. A trip to the doctor on Saturday (they weren’t as freaked out about it as I was) proved futile as the doctor was unable to tell us what was causing it.
- Thankfully, the spots are going away. Babboo is back at school today. And I’m back at work.
- Since we were stuck home with a sick baby yesterday, we decided to watch The Pursuit of Happyness on pay-per-view. The movie is 118 minutes long. The first 113 minutes are the most depressing 113 minutes I’ve ever lived through.
- The last 5 minutes of the movie were very uplifting and heart-warming. I can’t seem to decide if those 5 minutes makes up for the crappy 113 minutes. Thoughts?
- The King isn’t really funny ha-ha. I’ve just noticed this about him. I can’t seem to remember if he used to be funny ha-ha, or if this is a new thing.
- We’re trying to bring the funny back into our relationship.
- The King bought one of those 100 packs of condoms off the interweb yesterday. He thinks we should start a new blog documenting their usage.
- He also thinks we should try to use all 100 condoms in 100 days.
- We aren’t going to be doing either of those things.
- But I think it’s funny that he suggested that.
- I hate going for leisurely drives. Hate. So much. I feel like I’m stuck in a jail cell with no hopes of ever being set free.
- I can’t find my Pilates DVD. I think the universe wants me to be chubby for BlogHer.
- Babboo is sleeping in the front room (in a movable crib) and we are sleeping in our bed. It’s been working out gloriously.
- I have an idea for a fun post this week. But it requires me taking pictures of stuff at home. The new camera is working out great for me.
- You know how I mentioned we were stuck in the house all day yesterday? It gave me some time to try this out. It took me about 10 minutes to do. The King loved it. I felt a little self-conscience. I will have to play around with it more before I wear it that way in public.
So tell me, what’s on your mind today?
Bullet points are your friend

Now I totally want to see your beehive. Come on, share, share!
I’m glad Babboo doesn’t have the chicken pox. Also, I think The King funny ha-ha, because really, 100 condoms in 100 days? I’m laughing out loud!

Lmao at The King’s proposal!!! He’s bringin the funny back! Chris and I watched Pursuit of Happyness and, yeah, it is so sad, but I loved the movie! I loved it because it’s a true story and you can see just how much he struggled but that it all worked out for him!
I’m glad you get to sleep in your bed again! Perhaps that’s why The King bought the big box!!

Oh good try, King. I’m just happy I don’t have to look at your cat. I mean, seriously, he looks pissed. It was bringing me down.

So do you put him to bed in your room, then wheel him out into the living room when you go to bed? it sounds glorious…I have been really worried about you and the King not sleeping.
Evan had spots a few weeks ago. I thought FOR SURE it was the chicken pox…turns out it was some virus, maybe a reaction to his 12 month shots, and went away on its own within a couple of days…but like you said, the doctors weren’t worried at all. I WAS HORRIFIED.

The Pursuit of Happyness is so amazingly depressing. I want AS to see it, too, but I don’t think I could sit through it again!
When AS and I were first dating, his roommate propped a 100-condom box up on AS’s bedroom door so that when I went in, they would rain down on me. As a joke, I gave the box–empty–back to roommate and said, “Thanks! Can you get me another box next time I come over?” I’ve been on roommate’s good side ever since.

Oh that King! What a funny guy. I think you should go for it! Hee hee!
This makes me think of a dirty joke. I won’t tell it here.

I have never done a beehive, but did a very Audrey Hepburn like poof for my wedding. Ever since I saw the girl do my hair then, I learned the trick. Use a bristle round brush not a comb. It makes a major nest of your hair, but works. Then you take the brush and run it lightly over top of the nest. Spray and voila! I do it all the time for half up and half down looks as well as low piggy tails.

Perhaps Babboo has (had) this:

It’s not bad. I got it as an adult six years ago - I guess I didn’t have it as a child - wife brought it home from school (she was teaching 3rd grade then.) They say it occurs often in spring.

I’m playing catch up here…
100 condoms in 100 days? Time to think of creative uses for them. Water-balloon-condom fight? Rent a helium tank?
Also, your cat down there? The hair cut rocks! (He doesn’t look happy about it.)

“He also thinks we should try to use all 100 condoms in 100 days.”
Of course he does; he’s a man isn’t he?!

A hundred condoms?
Let’s see… with my husband it would take us about 9 years to use them up.

I accidentally threw away my birth control pills this weekend (don’t ask), so maybe you should send over some condoms my way…

Joel buys those 100 condom packs from the interweb too (are we surprised at this? He buys EVERYTHING in bulk). He once proposed we see how fast we could go through them. I laughed, too.

You should have The King document them and make his own blog. That would be hillarious!

My husband got depressed after watching The Pursuit of Happyness. It reminded him of how much he doesn’t like his job.
Oh, that King. Such a joker.

100 condoms in 100 days, that’s funny! What a funny guy that King. Fuunnay!
And I would love to see the beehive pictures…I might try this myself!

Depressing does not a bad movie make. I loved “Pursuit of Happyness,” but then I LOVE tragedy. Don’t ask me why, but I do.

[...] The 100 Pack of Condoms arrived. And just to make sure we got our $20 worth, The King and Babboo took inventory. The King also may or may not have lined them up in order of which ones he wanted to try out first. I suggested we break it in by using the “Caution, Road Bumps” style first. His thoughts were to start with something a little more basic and work our way up to something bumpy. [...]
