You Can't Say I Don't Know How to Party
I bet you're dying to know the fun that ensued here at the house of Playgroupie this past holiday weekend. Sure, it's usually a weekend of honoring veterans, fun and sun, and bar-b-ques. We decided to be unique and have our own fun.
No, we are not mature. We looked up "dirty" words at thefreedictionary.com. What fun it is to hear the computer pronounce words like ass, slut, butt, whore, and poop. Fifth graders around the nation would have loved this!
Yes, we're giant nerds. We also spent lots of time at Terra Server, looking up every single address where we've ever lived. Hours and hours of fun. Dungeon masters around the nation would have loved this!
We have deep thoughts. While eating at Sonic, we noticed their slogan...America's favorite drive-in. This led us to wonder, are their any Sonic's in Canada, the U.K., or Australia? Internets...help us with this very important question!
When there's nothing on TV, leave it to the Style Network to have and Extreme Makeover marathon! Neon white teeth, new boobs, laser zit removal and amazing transformations! Woo hoo!
While listening to our CD's on "random", we came to the realization that our music is completely inappropriate for a home with small children. "God Damn" by Alice in Chains or anything by Rage Against the Machine is not the best choice of music for a mimic-happy 19 month old. But, listening to the Sesame Street CD is completely inappropriate for weary parents of a 19 month old tantrum happy boy and a COLICKY baby.
That's right, you didn't misread. Colic. Mother f*cker. More on that tomorrow...I'm currently trying to decrease the number of "f" words in the post to make it somewhat more reader friendly.
And last, but not least...Have any of you seen the show, Scarred on MTV? If not, don't start. If you have, what on Earth are those people thinking? It was such a sick show, I wanted to look away, I really did...but I COULDN'T. I still have the heebie jeebies.
Hope you all had a more exciting weekend than us.

OMG that show scarred is insane!! Hubby was saying see...see how they all try to do a trick on a rail and bam the gods say no...I could only watch for ten minutes and then had to walk away...too bloody for me.
I have a hard time with music in our house too...I came up with some playlists that are child friendly but it's hard when all you want to hear is Rage against the machine or nickleback or stone temple pilots really loudly and with all the cuss words. *sigh* But what the boys want to hear is Laurie Berkner.
Oh and sooo sorry about the colic...oh man that must suck.
Your weekend was much more exciting than ours! The most exciting thing we did this weekend was go look at new bedroom sets. We found the one we wanted, got approved for the credit, went set up the delivery date, then decided at the last minute that we didn't want to buy it just yet. Yeah...fun times...
I'm sorry to hear about the colic. I was really hoping you would be able to escape that this time. Let me know if you need anything :)
Hmmm... are you the one that taught my 13 yo this?
no Sonics out here on the arse end of Canada...think i can get the computer to say "arse"? it's my favourite...a little local colour for ya.
shitty about the colic. i have some assvice that i can't help but spurt out because hell, if it saves you months of torture you'll forgive me...after two months of torturous endless crying and various no-dairy/no-wheat blah blah diets for nursing mama and an attempt at super-expensive hypo-allergic formula, our friend the osteopath came to visit from out of town. she treated O twice in the span of 24 hours, very gentle manipulation. she said he had a blocked nerve to his gut. after each treatment, he farted about 800 times and cried inconsolably (as usual)...but when our osteopath friend went home, he was...all better. i shit you not. we did one followup treatment a month later, just to be sure.
if osteopaths are a possibility where you are, i'd try it. our friend said that these problems are particularly common in babies born quickly, which O was and i think yours was too.
now back to minding my own business...
And what do they mean by "America"? We found out when crossing the border into Canada that it is not a good idea to refer to yourself as an "American" as if you possess two entire continents, when in fact you live only in the small United States portion.
Taking a moment of silence for the colic.
You're a behind-the-times nerd. We were using the Internets for that years ago!

Go forth and.. listen!
Reading the dreaded C-word, colic, gave me an involuntary body shiver. I think I've repressed that stage of my life after Middle was born. It's all a (heavy wine-drinking induced) blur...
I'm sorry to hear about the colic. I've never heard about the osteopath stuff Bon mentioned before, but having experienced colic/reflux for many many months I definitely would look into it.
Here's hoping things improve ... and SOON!
wow, crazy times at your house. I don't envy you the colicky baby. ugh. Speaking of freaking WEIRD TV shows... have you seen "Pants Off Dance Off"? we ran across it last year in the Bahamas (come to think of it, I'm not positive if it shows state-side) I have to admit I LOVE the name, but the show itself is really creepy.
Well, excluding the trip to N.O., we had loads of fun breaking up brotherly love fights, yelling at the kids, breaking up more fights and installing closet shelving. I don't think I could handle more fun.
That osteopath thing is very interesting. It might be worth looking into. Come on, hanging from your ankles during the full moon of the sabbath day during all saints eve is worth looking into if it will help the colic. May the force be with you. And call me if you need help!
Oh no, I hope the aforementioned colic does not last long.
Not at all fun.
My co-worker has a software program that reads all typed text to her and of course I'm the one asking her to type words like shit and f*ck so I can hear the geeky announcer guy say them too.
I'm equally as mature.
And yes I'm a big fan of Scarred. That is to say I've seen it several times although I tell myself I shouldn't ever, ever watch it again.
Colic! Oh no!
Just wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you and your family at this time.
How are YOU feeling?
Colic - yuk, I had one of those, no fun!
And just so you know, when Sonic says "America's" they're not referring to New England.
She doesn't have colic! She is only 3 weeks old and you are breast feeding... give it time. 3 more weeks and she will be the world's best baby--right? At least that is what I keep telling myself.
Oh no! I'm sorry she has colic.
I can't watch Scarred. Well, I watch it but look away right before the icky parts.
I think I am Scarred after watching that show once! I did the same as Melanie and put my face in a pillow during parts..
I think my new 13 year old stepson may have colic. He has been a cranky SOB lately!
I hope yours gets better soon!
Sounds like a fun weekend...and I think we might have the same taste in music!
I am so sorry about the colic...hopefully it won't last long! Good luck!
I love Scarred! It's extremely gross, but I can't help watching. My sister and I try to catch every episode.
It seems like those long holiday weekends are always filled with so many exciting things to do...ok, not really. At least not in our house. Like you guys, we did a whole lot of nothing. What the heck would we do if we didn't have the internet?
MTwho?
I spent the weekend itching the evil bastard from hell bug bites I received on our completely innocent trip to the lake.
Aren't *I* the cool mom now? You're jealous, I can feel it.
You are truly fantastic!
