Saw “Kick-Ass” tonight. Goes from disturbing to hilarious and back in a heartbeat. There’s something very, very bizarre about having a lump in my throat WHILE I’m howling with laughter. Most disturbing? The wee tyke playing “Hit Girl” reminds me so much of Carol Ann that I basically just spent two hours watching my baby [...]
Things that are not good.

So last night was my sisters year-end dance recital. That’s not the “not good” part, that was pretty fun. I like watching Carol Ann getting better as a dancer (she’s particularly good at the tarty poses) although I’ve got to wonder exactly when the 80s exploded all over the junior dance scene. MC Hammer? Really? [...]

“What’s your biggest fault?” “Well, I’m simply TOO awesome.” So Nick started his new contract today. Woo! It’s an open-ended “You tell us when you’re done” sort of thing, at the company he very much wants to be with, so … yay! He’s so excited about it he felt the need to wake me up [...]

So the other day, Justice jumped the fence (again, gragh… must find way to dog-proof yard), and yehaw, I had to go find her. I’m obviously worried about her, and rather stressed out, and so Carol Ann says “Don’t worry, if she doesn’t come back, we’ll always have this Justice!” and shows me the stuffed [...]
invisible good daughter

Today, I introduced my mother to lolcats. Yeah. I’m really not the good daughter. In other news, Carol Ann got her report card today. The verdict? She’s doing fine in just about everything, except… she talks too much. More specifically, will. not. shut. the fuck. up. I laughed. Hard. Evidently “verbal diarrhea” is genetic.
Buh…wha?

So tonight, I was at Mardi Gras. Sort of. My sister’s school had a “Mardi Gras” night. Less tits, but lots of beads, masks, costumes, etc. And more games and carnival style things, like a bouncy house and slushies. The fun part, for me, is that Carol Ann’s elementary (grades K-7) school used to be [...]
