This is my 296th post. I'm fast approaching 300. 300 will be here on Wednesday. Or Thursday. Or whenever I can figure out what to do for my 300th post.
WHAT SHOULD I DO? I'm beginning to panic a little. I don't normally pay attention to stuff like that, but for some reason 300 seems like a really big number. 300!
I could do the 100 things about me meme. I'd love to do some crazy $300 giveaway, but I don't have the cash. I spent the giveaway money on a tank of diesel in the truck so we can visit family this summer. I'm not kidding (but I wish I was).
So. What should I do? I also have to consider that this blog will turn two years old this July. Lots of milestones going on around here.
Send me your ideas. Because Doogs, I'm drawing blanks over here!

More on The Waitress
Not the Momma was really bothered by the jerk husband, Earl in the movie. He was still talking about it today at dinner. Rarely does something like that bother him for so long. Seriously, by the end of the movie, Not the Momma was reeling, and ready to jump in the TV and just kill the guy. So, be aware that there is some serious jerk-age going on in the movie.
Lines that Not the Momma did not believe actually came out of that man's mouth:
Jenna: I feel about as sexy as a tree stump.
Earl: Honey, you were never sexy.
Earl: Treat me like a MAN.
The fact that Earl had to honk his horn as he arrived ANYWHERE, and expected Jenna to jump into the car the very second he arrived.
Earl: "And the answer to that, of course is NO."
Earl: "Just promise me you won't love that baby more than me, okay?"
Earl: Say something sexy. Jenna: What do you want me to say? Earl: (finishes)
Earl: Hey Porky, come on! (while trying to initiate interc0urse)
Earl: I love you, even if you are fat.
The list really goes on from there. And I'm leaving several things off the list in case you haven't seen the movie. But, even though we totally despised Earl we have jokingly started using some of his lines. I mean, who doesn't want to be treated like a man? I have told Not the Momma to treat me like a man at least twice today. I'm just waiting for later tonight when he tries to get frisky and calls me "porky." That should be funny.
We also watched the movie Spartans this weekend. Not worth the money. I can give you the one funny line from the movie (and will). It was a "scary movie" type of movie. And the one line that we thought was funny was a Yo-Momma joke. "Yo momma's so hairy, the only language she can speak is Wookie." There ya have it. NO need to waste money on that movie now!
(Did you notice that I didn't bring up fattening, sugary, yummy, not-good-for-you food in this post? I'm so proud of myself!)

While watching a Movie:
Number of times Not the Momma insisted "CALL THE COPS!" 30
Number of times Not the Momma got very angry at jerk husband: 60
Number of times Not the Momma got angry at woman for staying with jerk husband: 65
Number of times Not the Momma tried to stop the movie: 5
Number of times I cried during the movie: Once, maybe twice.
We watched the movie "Waitress" last night after I read about it on The Mom Crowd. It was a good movie, but Not the Momma really got upset a few time.. He just didn't understand why any woman would stay with such a jerk.
It was a good movie, but I may have to ban it in the household because of the gratuitous pie scenes. SO! MANY! PIES!
It didn't help me at all. All I wanted to do was make pie after the movie was over. Oh, that and hug my husband for not being a domineering controlling jerk. And hug my baby. Because he is ever so sweet.

Friday Fun
I am sick. This is the billionth time since we've lived here. I'm blaming it on the weather. Here it is always 60 degrees. It never gets cold enough or hot enough to kill anything. In Nebraska, it is 60 degrees for 2 weeks in the year. One week in April, and one week in October. Between April and October, it is 110 degrees, and between October and April it's -1o. Nothing can live in those temperatures for long. But here, here, I've been sick at least once a month. So, I apologize for the quality of this 'Friday Fun' Post. I hope next week will be better.
This wasn't meant to be a post where I whine about my sinuses being clogged, my aching head or my pure exhaustion. This is meant to be a post about the things that made me smile today, despite the fact that I'm dying of yet another California Head Cold.
1. The Ball Fairy stopped by and left a big blue ball in our front yard. I went out to find the child it belonged to, but the neighborhood was like a ghost town. We talked about picking it up (we did, eventually) and then posting signs on all the doors in the neighborhood stating "we have your ball." We didn't do that last part.
2. When I went out to investigate (read: photograph) the ball, Kleenex escaped. She ran across the street. Not the Momma chased her and had her, but she got scared of him (I would be scared too if he was chasing me), and snapped. When she realized that she'd misbehaved, and was probably going to be in trouble, she ran again. Only this time, she didn't run away. She hightailed it for the front door. She knew her only hope was getting inside, and running straight into her room. That made me laugh, because I've not seen her run that fast in a loooong time. It doesn't sound funny now, but it was hilarious.
3. Little Monster's new fashion statement:
4. Remembering that just removing the Tylenol Cold from the box will not ease the symptoms. You actually have to take them out of the foil and ingest them.
5. Little Monster's all ready to go!
6.Cold Stone Creamery's Peanut Butter Perfection, made with Vanilla Ice Cream. In a freshly made waffle bowl. So fresh, I watched her make it fresh. It melted my ice cream because it was hot, fresh. For about 10 minutes, I thought I was cured of my cold. But, I wasn't.

He's pretty proud of his accomplishment.

Does anyone have the slightest idea why all of my baby weight came back? Me neither.
The Friday Fun part: What did you do today that made you smile? There had to be something. Even if it was a bad day. Tell me about it.

I've Found the CURE!
The cure for headaches is simple. And no, boys, it is NOT what you think it is. I have had two today. I am aching for more.
Perhaps this is the reason why I haven't been able to get any pounds off. And the reason why I look 3 months pregnant, even though, much to my dismay, I'm the furthest thing from pregnant.
Are you ready?
Are you sure?
Introducing: Simply Dipped. With fudge inside.
Wow? I think something is wrong with me. First there was the fast food blog, now this. I don't mean to advertise things for free, but people, you really need to try these. Perhaps I'm way behind on these, but they are GOOD. And I might just need to have one more. Because the sooner I get rid of them, the faster they are gone, right? Then I won't eat them. Maybe I should buy the ones from Costco instead. I don't like them. So I won't eat them. Problem solved.
