Potty Party.no.

Potty Party?

Really? I'm all for celebrating mediocrity...

pre-school/kinder/6th/8th grade graduations, everyone gets a trophy for softball, and on and on...but an entire party for crapping in the toilet?

Like toddler moms don't talk about this shit (pun intended)enough already with each other...now, hey I'm gonna throw a Potty Party to throw it in your face that you suck as a mom...and so does your kid.boom.

(I guess baby showers are along the same lines too--"look what i/we did.")

damn.

Normally this chick has cute ideas. This IS a cute idea as well...now I just can't until her daughter turns 12

and we get to see the huge "You started your period" bash! Oh I can't wait to see those decorations and favors.

Here's the sound track for the background music:

4. “Sunday Bloody Sunday” – U2

10. “Waterfalls” – TLC

Oh Jack.

{here is where this came from-before I made it awesome}

He sings to me too:

Hey Girl:Eddie Vedder Edition

I LOVE the Ryan Gosling "Hey Girl" pictures...they make me smile every time.

However I'm not 100% in love with him...so here is my kinda "Hey Girl"

{source-prior to my "addition"}

Oh Eddie.

He can sing to me too:

2012

So I thought we were supposed to have flying cars by now? Maybe that's 2020?

Either way 2011 DID become a big year for technology in our house. I hope the evil-geniuses over at Apple appreciate our hard earned money...2 new iPods (plus 1 recall trade-in), an iPod Touch, an iPhone and an iPad make us happy and nerdy all at the same time.

I'm not going to recap the year, that's what the right side of the blog is for. But I'd like to note that we are thankful for our jobs, friends, family & health.

I will however talk about what's in store for 2012.

I always make the same resolutions:

-get healthy (formerly get skinny)

-get organized

-pay off bills

Every year these things don't happen.

So apparently I need to change my game plan.or actually follow through with the said plan.

As for the get healthy portion I am currently reading these two books

I'm fully aware that merely reading these won't actually help, so I suppose I will have to put for some effort in my get healthy plan. I already have been working on cutting out(or) back on animal proteins. So far my mechanism for dairy is just not adding any. Like not adding cheese, butter or sour cream. Things that already have them in it are still going into my mouth...like cookies.

As for meat, I had a turkey on Thanksgiving and pork on my birthday. Along with seafood twice since then.

It's not a big deal. I..I have made sure to not make it a big deal.

What I have involved others in is this:

After watching this:

I convinced my mom(a die-hard water bottle fan) to use a filtered reusable one. Though she (nor I) love the ones that I bought...poor flowage. We'll see.

Watch for yourself and tell me you don't want to run out and buy one.

Those above books were influenced by a few documentries I watched on Netflix...damn Netflix.
