Through my Dayquil haze, I have a coupla thoughts for this beautiful, yet rainy, Monday morning...

1. I don't get Lady Gaga, but I sure like her music. The blood thing, the getting thrown off a balcony and doing her dance with crutch thingies, the whole weird costume get-up - yeah, at least she's got the pipes that make up for her "uniqueness."

2. Anyone else think that "Shake Weight" thing is just a little obscene? Or is it just me? I think this particular exercise is why most teen boys have nice arms. *snort*

3. I'm sending Kevin Federline a box of condoms and some tiny rubberbands with some sterilization suggestions. He's rumored to have knocked up his current girlfriend here. Three babies' mommas with one of them being Britney Spears? What the heck is up with this guy? I'm just not seeing it...

4. I think I'm anti-female. First, it was my utter dislike of the movie, "Mama Mia," which proved that my estrogen levels were lacking. Now, it's my girlfriends extreme infatuation with the "Twilight" movies. I'm ducking when I say this, but I have to say I just don't get it. Between the craptastic acting and the strange, long stares, the movie really creeped me out. I tried reading the books to catch the vibe but I just don't get it. Taters, on the other hand, considers me to be a female freak of nature. She's "Team Jacob" by the way...

5. On the topic of cussing - C-dub asked me if the lights went out again, if he was allowed to utter a few curse words here and there. His reasoning? It would be "emergency cussing."

6. The Hubby and I took the kids to the Gem and Mineral Show at Redwood Acres over the weekend. I'm happy to say that my vacuum cleaner is cleaned out and ready to go for the next 20lb batch of rocks we managed to bring home. In all seriousness, the kids had a ball and the people up there put on an excellent show.

7. Taters amazes me each day with her artistic creativity. Her most current piece of work? A cross-dressing prince. I'm so proud (and yes, he is saying, "I'm so pretty."):

8. I can't believe that my seven year old is balling because my three year old is chanting, "wimpy,wimpy, wimpeeee!!!!' as he plays Wii. Someone is a little sensitive today.

9. Puberty is slowing rearing its ugly little head in my house. Taterbug informed me that some actor she saw the other day was "utterly scrumptious." I don't really know what that means but I did remind her of the cootie factor and that boys tend to pick their noses and smell their farts. I think my suggestions fell upon deaf ears.

10. I'm not digging the current Reebok commercials. The particular one I'm talking about focuses on a woman's breasts and then butt for the duration of the commercial. Taterbug saw it and her comment summed it up the best, "That was about shoes, Mom?" I know that at least 50% of our population is gonna disagree with me about this:
