Momentous Occasions

Big Daddy and I are having a Date Night tonight. As in, we are going to leave the house and do fun adult stuff without the kids. This is all happening courtesy of the lovely Mr & Mrs McKinney, who are going to snatch the kids up for a sleepover.

First, el esposo and I are going to Mi Casa's, a Mexican buffet place. As a native Southwesterner, I find Mexican food here in the Southeast to be pretty disappointing, but he assures me that I will like their food. Since it is a buffet and I have given up all hope of finding a real chili relleno this side of Texas, I am giving him the benefit of the doubt.

After that, we're going to see The Hangover. Then, we'll swing by B&N to spend the $50 gift card my Mamasan sent me for my Birthday.

Very excited are we.

Bad Mommy, Good Mommy?

So yesterday we were brainstorming on what to have for dinner today, and we happened to see that today was going to be the hottest day so far this year. So this is what we opted to have for dinner today....


There's no guilt in desert, if its what's for dinner. Right?

Diabetes. Schmiabetes. Hopefully, this gets me Awesome Mommy credit. I'm saving up my points so I can get the kids to set Big Daddy and me up in one those good nursing homes. You know, the ones where they change your adult diaper more than once a day, and they don't steal your stuff.

And because I know you're wondering....Yes, it was hot as Satan's buttcrack today, and the banana splits were DELICIOUS!

This Week In Stuff I Did For The Environment

I bought this...



For $2.49 for 50 sq ft, Environment, I better be in your five.

Good on Ya, Pittsburgh!

My boys did it! It was great series, despite the whining you may hear coming from Detroit fans, and I was fully expecting the whining. As soon as it was clear that Pittsburgh could actually pull off the game 7 win, I was wondering what loser rationalization we were going to hear out of the Motor City.
I was, however, surprised to see this. Do we root for teams based on how hard up their towns are?
Don't misread me, the Red Wings are a great team, but Pittsburgh hasn't exactly had the rosiest of outlooks lately either. I suppose that the rationale is that, if you already have a winning football team, you don't deserve another successful franchise. Iron City has been feeling the crunch since our steel market hit the crapper in the early 90's, and they've been hustling their butts off to revive and diversify their economy. The success of the Steelers and the Penguins is well deserved by its city....Now, if the Pirates suddenly turn themselves around, that may be pushing it a little...
Congratulations Pittsburgh! You have a great hockey team!

Dug this up from somewhere

I know you're all wondering the same thing I am...Would it still meet W.P.B Requirements if the bunny weren't in it?

The marketing executives must've been channeling Elmer Fudd when they dreamed this one up.
