off with her tail, and other tortures i wish on the little mermaid

recently the most watched movie in our home (by the 2 year old) has "mysteriously" gone missing!!! yes it has been traumatic, the songs are still being remembered, but every day it gets a little easier. one day at a time right???

growing up i couldn't understand my dad's complete dislike of this movie. i mean it's a disney movie, they would dot every i and cross every t. they wouldn't put in front of children's faces disobedient self centered role models for our children to mimic. they wouldn't have different species try to mate (ok well that one seems to be pretty typical.... kinky disney, very kinky).

then the other day as i'm singing along with the movie for the 1000th time, we get to the part where her father has just discovered and destroyed her cave of contraband and she sings "betcha on land they understand that they DON'T reprimand their daughters"

WHAT???!!! excuse me, go missing for extended amounts of time, have a collection of illegal items, sneak around, go gaga for someone out of your species (aka. non complimenting genitalia) and your parents should say "SURE, good for your, hope you don't die. We are just your stupid parents and we were hoping you would find yourself in a life of misery, carpe diem!"

ok, so my dad was onto something by disliking this beotch! (my words, not his). so i look further into the story. ***go to dad's arch enemy, sign a contract for your soul, try to marry a guy who doesn't know you but will marry YOUR VOICE (??? he is brilliant!) and in the end when you can't come through on the deal you SIGNED, let dad throw himself in harms way and risk the entire kingdom and ocean all because the princess wanted her way.

what a great lesson for kids, go ahead do drugs, marry a cow, drive drunk, get a payday loan at one of those places on the corner. the world is your oyster!!!

i have found i'm not the only one with disdain for this little tart (oh ya, don't get me started on her immodest shell bra!) fellow blogger Yakko Warner wrote this back in 2005. I enjoy his theories on why King Triton is a pathetic father, and why Eric ends up being a bad father and husband. Here i was just focusing on the hussy.

in closing, i wish this guy would have gotten ahold of her in full fish form! mmmmm, deep fried seabratt!

*sigh*

through out the day i often think "i should blog about that".

then i get home, and try to remember.

nothin. i wonder what i was going to write about.

is it bad when you walk into work and your co-worker says "how was your weekend? did you do anything fun?" and after careful thought and consideration my answer, "i don't know, i can't remember."

(pic stolen from the beautiful wendyB)

i'm not stupid, just pregnant.

• memo to self: get a notebook or some form of thought and/or memory control.
• memo to you: we have our ultrasound in a few weeks. (i wonder what this brain sucking fetus is? judging by the brain tapeworm effect...... i'm not guessing, what do you think??)

romantic anniversary dinner

for 3.

• panda express take out


• kitchen table


• plastic forks


• 2 yr old in high chair


• all singing "the wheels on the bus" (all choruses over and over)

you too can have this romantic dinner if you just stick with the bullet points above.

Honey: happy anniversary, i know today didn't go as planned. however, we actually never made any plans. you would think we would some day learn a lesson from that. yet here we are 5 years later, and we haven't made a plan since we put up tables, chairs, flowers, table clothes and barely getting showered and dressed before our wedding started. it's possible our only plans that have ever turned our are our wedding, our daughter, the one on the way, and two very cherished vacations pre-k (pre kids).

someday we may become less lame, but if it's ok with you- lets not aim too high. i just like being at home with you and having NO PLANS.

i love you with all my heart!

love,

your adoring wife

does this baby make me look fat?

dave said "no".

isn't he cute when he lies!!!

(dave's first day as a father 2005)

someone called me lazy

well wendyB, yes i am pregnant... i mean too lazy to blog. so let me update you on the last week:

cleaning up the yard, planting new seeds and plants (will the bareroot roses make it this year? i've killed at least a dozen through the years)

trying to make my own compost for like a year now... didn't have nearly enough compost so loaded up on several bags over the the week to make my new and existing plants HAPPY!this is the az gardening bible

showtime (which i don't subscribe to) is running all the episodes of their series the tudors on regular cable channels. I am loving it, especially since this era seems to be my main source of interest for the last few months. i'm halfway through the season, oh and henry the 8th is kinda good looking if you are into that kinda thing.

in the light of my tudor era interest, i constantly lust after this ugly betty - I KID- anne boleyn inspired necklace... some day.... should i get a J or a C???

also drooling over this diana ring, i am bff with the designer so i started to mention to my husband "there is this ring"..... that's as far as i got before he said "this ought to be good". humpf. it would make a good birthday present mister poopy pants!

i've also spent the last week stressing about poll numbers for today's (again) super tuesday. this is a crazy race and feel very strongly that Hillary is what this country needs. the economy sucks, my business is slow due to it, our house payment went up $300 in January- which was not budgeted, i spent most of last year without any insurance when Dave was between jobs- full price prescriptions are impossible to afford. i hate war, and can't even watch the news. the state of our country literally breaks my heart. i pray for a change that will heal our nation.

(update: she won ri, tx, oh tonight!!!)

i think that is the basics, the cute jocie stuff probably deserves it's own post... stay tuned (did i mention today while obsessively counting, she switched to counting in spanish? oh no, not in the correct order but still... 1,2,3,4, uno, dos, tres...) oh ya and her saying she says 40 times a day is a dramatic "oh my nuniss!" (goodness for those who don't speak 2 year old). this child cracks me up!

oh ya, shout out to NETFLIX - i heart you!!!! and welcome back the writers from their strike, i can't wait for the office to start again!

ps. dear mr. poopy pants, i can't believe our 5 year anniversary is already this weekend! i love you more than life itself and can't wait to finally get to go on a date ALONE with you!!!

pps. notice to family: we need a babysitter in order to make the ps. possible. please feel free to offer your services!

kisses,

ppiew

enter the void...

which is my brain.

is shaq playing for the suns now? not that i pay attention to that stuff but it looked like that when i walked past the news.

i finished reading "the other boleyn girl", and now am looking forward to the movie. i had assumed that scarlet would play anne boleyn, but was suprised in the trailer to see it was the sweet natalie portman. i've been sucked into reading and watching all things queenly and historical lately, i blame my sisters and wendyB. i think i need a different time and era.... also i'm better with someone else being beheaded rather than me.

all i do is sleep, eat, read and go to work. my employees have totally spoiled me. i show up late and leave early. everyday ashley says "what are you going to do with your afternoon?" somehow giving me the benefit of the doubt that i could be fun. my reply everytime "take a nap".

i don't think i'm slipping into a down cycle, but the fact that i sleep constantly, won't leave the house unless i HAVE TO, am drowning in bills due to my lack of work could be an indicator. i really do believe that it is up to us what we become, whether we are rich or poor, and i don't know why i want to be rich but somehow always choose to be poor. that probably doesn't make any sense, but i have gotten myself stuck in a cycle that is only drug down lower by the void in my head.

um, too much insight? sorry, as sweet sarah mentioned "blogging is cheaper than therapy" and since my insurance (that is supposed to be so wonderful) still won't pay for a routine dr's appt from last november, i'm going to skip the shrink this month.

good night to you all, may we all wake up excited for the day and rich in spirit and wealth. if not just don't jump off a bridge, hey we all gotta have affirmations right? here is my list i have posted in a few places in the house (don't make fun, you know you lie to yourself too):


I have a perfect memory.
I have more time in my day than I need.
Everything I do is successful.
I have more money than I will ever need.
I remember everything.
I am perfectly healthy in everyway, through every cell in my body.
I am happy , healthy, wealthy and wise.
I am always on time
I weigh 130 pounds and am a size 8. I can eat anything I want and stay my perfect weight.
I have more new and existing customers that I can service.
I have happy customers.
I am joyous, happy and full of love for all.
I have $5million in our retirement account.
I love all fruits and vegetables.
I am a positive force and draw like people to me.
I truly love myself.
I hear everything because I have perfect hearing.
I always win.
Life is easy and all good things come to me.
