Oh My

A few minutes ago I was sitting here browsing the goings on of Brittany and other lame-ass celebrities when my innocent, sweet, little boy comes up along side me, holds his plastic sword up to crotch, swings it around and exclaims "Look Mommy! I have a HUGE PENIS! It's HUGE like a GIANT'S!"

Let me just say that this was one of those moments I was extremely thankful for my c-section with Lucas which happened before any "damage" was done that would cause me the urinary incontinence issue that is oh-so common among pregnant woman, espeicially the 2nd time around, because really - I would have pissed my pants.

After recounting the story to Jason, I learned this is apparently the second time Lucas has used his sword in a phallic manner... check out Jason's conundrum here.

It's all about the social networking sites

A huge buzz word in PR these days is "social networking". The way that people are using the Internet has changed so radically in the past few years, everyone is now jumping on the bandwagon of "the next big Internet craze", which is the magnitude of social sites. MySpace, Facebook - they have offered a way to connect with people - friends, family, people you never thought you would ever hear from again, and business people are jumping at trying to create revenue generating models from this new wave of Internet procrastination.

But that's not really new news, as blog readers you all know this. But lately, I've been finding myself everywhere. MySpace, Facebook, LinkedIn, WorkItMom!, my profile and background is there for everyone to connect to. My latest one is GoodReads (see side bar widget), a social book club. My friend Maria sent me the link and I thought, why not? I like to see what others are reading and people are always asking me what I'm reading.

What about you? What sites are you on? What are your favorites and what do you think is going to be the NEXT.BIG.THING?

I hate Ikea

So, say someone needs a little extra closet room b/c her husband is currently using the closet in the guest room which is soon to be taken due to an addition in the family, but she is not willing to give up one inch of her already small closet. Say, the perfect answer would be a wardrobe and chest of drawers and this 8 month pregnant woman goes to Ikea ONLY TO REALIZE AFTER BEING THERE FOR 2 HOURS WITH A 3.5 YEAR OLD AND MEASURING AND PICKING OUT THE BEST SOLUTION THAT THE FREAKING WARDROBE STICKS OUT 3 INCHES FURTHER THAN THE CHEST OF DRAWERS.

WTF?!

At least I got Swedish Meatballs.
