The Hubs is something of an aggressive driver, I'm a door clinging hand twitcher who stomps her imaginary brakes. I have control issues. While tailgating a small car who admittedly was hogging the fast lane, he shouted "Get your act together you tedious scrotum!" which had me tearing with laughter, while stomping on the imaginary brake.
(or what I heard which was: "Gie yerackt tehgether ye tEdious scrrOTum!")
Sassy is torturing me with repeat play of Aqua's Barbie Girl. Sassy won't even play with the Barbies she has - they're lame, but will hit playback over and over and over and over...
While singing and dancing to Barbie Girl, Shortie will say "Ah ah ah" over and over sounding like the Count from Sesame Street.
It's been hot today - HOT! Fantastic, gorgeous glorious day and in celebration of this, my left breast has begun to lactate (just a little) again. I haven't breast fed for 15 months...what the hell is that all about? Stop it you stupid leaky boob!
Sassy turns seven next weekend. Current gift round up includes:
- My Neighbour Totoro
- Teen Titans: Fear Itself - Season 2, Vol. 1
- Teen Titans, Vol. 2: Switched
- You Really Don't Look 50, Charlie Brown!
- The Complete Peanuts (this may be a mistake as I now feel compelled to complete the collection)
- Two water rockets (for fighting with a friend or parent of her choice)
- Dr. Who sticker album with full box of 50 packets of collector's stickers to be given out for good behaviour over the summer.
- Daddy will take her shopping for a new outfit - she always gets a new outfit of her choice including shoes.
And, because of Doug, I can't stop speaking like an eastern block refugee. My husband finds it very...nice in that raw sultry way. My fake Scots accent with all that rolling "R" practice has been paying off! Must get my bit written up...four days left to enter the contest. But first: We Dance!
Oh hell...now I have this running in my head...
okay...you like Raul? Here's more. (BTW, he's currently touring your local Scottish Sainsbury's so keep an eye out for him.)

Glad I am not the only one with the imaginary break system.
When we went to see Belle and Sebastian the other day, Jason was telling me that he had a scottish friend once and he always used to try to get him to say "I could murder a burger." I'd be laughing at your hubby's accent all the time if I was there!
We have fun saying "Aye! Irn-Bru! Made from Iron Gurders! The Rust of Iron Gurders gives it strength and flavour! Arrr!" and it's great if you roll all those r's and talk like a constipated pirate.
Do we have this kind of fun with other accents? Of course we do...ya! But Scots are the most fun.
Blogger keeps eating my comments, here I'll try again. Great first paragraph, very funny!
Oh I forgot to mention -My Neighbour Totoro...weirdest movie ever!!LOL.
Although my kids do love it. Have you seen it? I don't want to ruin it for you but there is a giant Cat Bus...scary scary
We haven't seen it, but we love Studio Ghibli movies, have most of them, and this one has so many rave reviews on Amazon we figured it'll be a winner.
We love The Cat Returns and they've done another one featuring it's cat hero The Baron. If your kids liked that one, they'll love the others too. the only one I'd caution you on is Princess Mononoke as it's pretty grim stuff with severed arms and stuff - but a fantstic story. Just not "G" rated.
When my girls were learning to drive I would stomp on the imaginary brake and hang on to the "oh shit" handle!!!
If that's the same handle that's over the window then I do that too. I'll now call it the "Oh Shit!" handle! Thanks GD!
Got here from the Believe/Uri Geller post in "My arms fold back" and I have to ask a completely random thing: where did you find those earplugs-on-string? I have been looking for something like that for ages! :D
google image search for earplugs. I just scrolled through the images until I found some that didn't look too industrial, becuase I'm a big girl and I want a big girl's earplugs to drown out the screaching from the wee girls in my life.
Good luck in your searches!! And I have to say, as a kindred spirit in the crayola-red haired clan, you look wonderful!
Haha, Crayola red-haired - I like that! Thank you. It does look incredibly bright and fake and I love it like that. ;) (Although I am still surprised by the amount of people who ask whether it's natural...).
Right. So Google for earplugs. Okeee. ;)
