It’s Friday night, SB’s at a show, Clark’s asleep upstairs, and my laptop is bookended by a beer and a baby monitor. The evening stretches deliciously before me. I have all the time I wish for internet activities, which NEVER happens in my life anymore. Huzzah!
Anyway, I’m feeling rambly. There are a few topics I’d like to address, none of which seem worthy of individual posts. Here goes.

The other night whilst watching LOST on abc.com [aside to abc.com: you suck. you know where you can shove your 'click to continue'] SB and I were forced to repeatedly view a commercial for this product:
[Aside to advertisers on abc.com: having to watch your annoying purple waterslide, minty-face-making commercial 12 times makes me NOT want to buy your product.] We decided that purple definitely doesn’t clean. Right? Green cleans. Blue cleans, for sure. But purple? Purple is bullshit. What do you think?

You know times are bad when the local funeral home holds an open house and papers the neighborhood.
Really. Coffee and Tea will be served!

In news of the boy, he is giggling. GIGGLING. There’s got to be no better sound in the whole world than your baby giggling. Incidentally, there’s nothing I won’t do, nothing too ridiculous, to tease out one of these giggles. I’m currently sporting a crick in my neck from earlier, when he thought it was funny when I head banged my hair in his face.

Just because:
the giggle is God’s gift to parents for all the hard work
I think I will eat him for lunch. I have never ever seen a cuter baby -and that mouth. oh, he is beautiful.
Such a great photo!! Mr. Personality! We are also appreciating here how sweet and adorable they look when sleeping, which is another way to prevent us from strangling them after a day of fit-pitching and epic battles over EVERYTHING.
lovely photo..xoxo
Love this post! Clark is just so beautiful and adorable and I just want to squeeze him. The giggling is amazing, isn’t it. I think my hubby lived for that moment. Still does a little bit maybe. And, I love the flyer. How about those smiling face images at the bottom. So happy!
Purple things say: “Don’t ingest me!” Except for eggplant (you skin it) or Easter eggs (you peel them), I was raise to *avoid* purple foods… unless they contain enough sugar to make up for the poison-suggesting hue (see jellybeans, frosting, and blackberry ice cream).
And ditto: Click-to-Continues are the ANTI-advertisement.
Hope you enjoyed your playtime on the Internets!
hliv: Amen.
amy: No! YOUR baby is cuter!
peaches: You mean they just don’t keep getting easier?
dahli: Thanks, love.
Noreen: I know, right? WHAT THE HELL?
emilie: You are so right about purple.
