Wonderfully Random Wednesday: Chuck E Cheese, Gym Class Heros, and becoming a doctor
It's been a while since I had a wonderfully random post. Today seems like a good day. Warning: this post may be a clear indicator of just how likely it is that I have Adult ADD.
Snow. Hello winter! How nice of you to stop by. Actually, I haven't missed you a bit. In fact, few people have. You're kind of like that scarey aunt who everyone's favorite uncle is married to. We only put up with you because we have too.
I may need one of these shirts. It's part of the I hate balls promotion. There is a video by Katherine Heigl that is soo funny. Stop gasping. It's not what you're thinking. It's meant to encourage fixing your pets. OMG it is a hoot. If you haven't watched it, you really should.
Ovens are a lunchlady's friend. I am having a little tift with the one in our kitchen, but more about that on Friday.
Once Upon A Time. Still love this show but blogging about it leaves little satisfaction. The posts are hardly read and a lot of work to write. When I try to link up with others they ask me not to. I'm not sure they will continue.
I've been obsessing over Gym Class Heros lately. This is one of my favorites. I like it even more when it shuffles into my iphone play mix inbetween things like Rhianna, Reba, GaGa, Travie McCoy, Lady Antebellum and Sara Bareilles. My music collection has ADD too.
This stupid Chuck E Cheese post remains one of my most popular. I am linking it here just so I can work the words Chuck E Cheese into another post.
I am almost done with my second book! I love the characters in it so much I'm not sure I want it to end.
I suffer from blog envy. There are often times when I want to stand up and say (clears throat) "WTF my blog is funny..why aren't you reading me!" and then I try to remind myself that I blog for me and not for them. Of course, that doesn't usually help much.
This post about why I'm not a doctor yet is clearly a lot funnier than the one about Chuck E. Cheese and let's be clear he's no closer than I am to becoming a doctor!
Three types of parents...which one are you?
Like me, my kid isn't perfect and will make mistakes. This group is the most reasonable. This is the group you want to be in. This is the group that realizes that at some point their child is gonna disappoint them. This group takes into account that we have all had EPIC fails and it is safe to bet our children will too. What we hope is that, like us, our children learn from them.
Not my child. This group is raising kids who do nothing wrong. Kids who are wrongly punished. Kids who would never step out of line, unless of course, provoked. Once provoked, retaliation is not only warranted but completely encouraged. This "it was not my fault" mentality follows them into adulthood. It stands to reason that, like their parents, they will always be the victim of circumstances.
I have kids? This group is mocked for their incompetency. They have little interest in the small people referring to them as "mom" or "dad" and can't be bothered with simple things like providing appropriate attire.
Your thoughts?
What is the opposite of poverty?
A recent discussion prompted me to ponder "how much is enough?"
It is human nature to want more. It is human nature to want what others have.
But lets be serious. Having what you want and what you need are different. Most of us have MORE than what we need but not all we want.
Why is this so hard to comprehend?
Why is it so hard To teach our kids?
So tell me, my friends, what is the opposite of poverty? The answer is having enough.
Do you have enough?
