the little gym rocks!!!
maya had her friend birthday party today at the little gym. her birthday was actually this past monday. we had her family party last saturday. today was the party for just her friends. it was her first party of that kind & man am i glad i had it out of my house. this place rocked(did you notice the three exclamation points in the post header?). the kids basically expelled tons of energy for an hour & then opened presents & had snacks/cupcakes for 30 minutes. we didn't have to lift a finger. the staff served food, gave out the presents & even wrote down who gave her what. it was awesome. if you have young kids(maya's 5), you MUST NOT have your party at your house or at the cheesy mouse. this is the only way to go. having the kids using up tons of energy in a completely padded room w/the only exit where we are sitting is much better than chasing them around your house before they get into your DVDs or trying to track them down in that damn maze of tunnels at the cheesy mouse.

did i mention i was jumping on the giant air mattress thing they had set up? no, good because hopefully no one got any pictures. and i had a cupcake!! hehehe...

new meds
you know all those tv commercials advertising drugs that you never really know what they do? you are bombarded w/metaphoric imagery but they never really tell you what the drug cures. you hear a lot about who shouldn't take it & the possible side effects. come to think of it, they actually spend more time telling you the negative things of the drug. anyway, here's an add that spells out the purpose of the pill. i'm on my way to canada tomorrow to pick these up in bulk.

two days in a row!!
this post should start a nice little blog war. if not, the next one will be about gay marriage. that one killed last time.

in the style of jerry seinfeld, have you seen these little ribbon car magnets? what's the up w/these things? they range from supporting the troops, to patriotic feelings, to breast cancer research to lord knows what. don't get me wrong, i support these causes. i've just never understood the whole point of the ribbon in the first place. i remember the first ribbon i saw was the little red one signifying aids research. now everyone has one. what's the point? is it to let everyone know you support something? was it your way of giving money to the cause? how about just giving them money & skipping the damn magnet. i'm not sure why they piss me off so much, but they do.

3rd time is a charm
don't you hate it when you get too many quarters at the self car wash? they should really take dollar bills at the stall instead of quarters. now i have this pocket full of change at work. people can hear me coming for miles.

did i really just start my first post in 2 weeks talking about car wash quarters? yes i did because i haven't thought of a better way to get back to writing. i've been awful lately w/keeping the site up. i'm too rushed in the mornings & too busy at night w/the kids to do much. keeping the site up was always a little bit of pressure, so i thought taking a break would ease it. while the pressure of keeping it up was lifted, the weight of not getting my words out there has stayed w/me. seems i've become a little addicted to my little hovel on the net. i think of things to post all the time, but due to my horrible short term memory & lack of motivation, they never seem to make it to the keyboard.

hence, i've come up w/a plan. i will set aside time to post every night. i can't do it from work & you can forget about the mornings. i'll need motivation. i was using the political climate last year to keep me going, but i think i've run out of venom for the american political machine. not that i don't think it's messed up & being run by yosimite sam, i'm just tired of running up the down escalator. don't get me wrong. you'll still hear about some political issues. i'm sure i'm gonna bust out an entry on the proposed social security reform soon.

no, i'll need something more juvenile. maybe one of those blog wars zoot was mentioning. someone out there's gotta hate me. i've gotten the hate mails from non-bloggers, now i just need to pick on the computer literate.

i figure getting back on the blog wagon is going to be like when i quit smoking. i quit cold turkey 3 times before it became final. maybe this time i can keep posting when i say i will.
