Yesterday morning, an old friend and I went out for breakfast while she was here in town. We were excited to see each other and to spend some time without the kids to catch up and be silly.
We headed to Cora’s, which is this awesome breakfast place that has really made a name for itself here in town. They serve a ton of fresh fruit and the chain was started by a single mom. Totally cool and definitely a success.
With success, comes popularity and Cora’s is no exception. We stood in line for a good ten minutes but I know from experience that the lineup easily quadruples that once church lets out.
We stood behind a woman who was at least 17 months pregnant. She joked to her husband that if her water broke, they had forgotten the cell phone. I piped up in jest and said, “You could borrow mine, you know. It’s not like NO ONE would help you.” We laughed and joked about nobody helping her and my friend offered to throw apple juice at her feet so people wouldn’t point and laugh that she had wet herself.
I think this series on YouTube is hysterically funny. And I happen to know a fewpeoplewhoaresick in the head like me who will appreciate it.
Yes it’s by the same guy who does the “You Suck At Photoshop Series,” which also makes me laugh.
Anyway - enjoy the first 5 episodes (I’m sure if you subscribe, there will be more coming). There’s low blows, awesome insults and of course, a bit of swearing so go duct tape your kids ears shut.
I used the Random Number Generator and came up with a winner, who had this tip to share:
Here’s something they rarely tell you before it happens(although I did find out beforehand in our Bradley class): Some time during the first year - it was at 7 months for me the first time, second time I was too busy to notice - YOUR HAIR WILL START FALLING OUT. It seems freaky even if you know it’s coming, and it seems like you will surely be bald if it keeps up, but it’s just the extra hair you didn’t know you were growing during pregnancy falling out. The hair loss is normal and you won’t go bald.

I got to interview Karl from Secondhand Tryptophan, who I actually already know pantloads about. But like any typical woman, I wanted to know more. And like any typical man, he was thrilled to talk about himself. Go see what he had to say!
Schmutzie will be interviewing me and I’ll be happy to post it once it’s all done!

A couple of things I noticed today while re-booting the laundry:
My kids had left the t.v on and I heard an announcer say Bratz Babies. *Double take*
What?
Those Bratz whores are already shooting out kids? Niice.
Also, just before I shut the t.v off, another commercial came on for Mini Pops. I didn’t even know such a thing existed but the commercial was like a trainwreck - I couldn’t look away. I wondered if the former Barney Robo-Kids had grown up to be Mini Pops.
Here’s the Modern Day version of the MP’s:
We flying first class up in the sky
Pop the champagne
Living the life in the fast lane
Watching the kids sing those lyrics made me howl. As if they even know what champagne is. First class? Not as a Mini Pop, man. Alfonso Ribeiro would be riding First Class before you and dude can’t even get into Hyde.
This is even more painful - the UK version of the Mini Pops from long ago, with commentary from former Mini Pops, who I’m sure are all in shock therapy now.
“They’re always looking slightly off-camera like they’re being threatened.”
Confession Time: As a child, I always wanted to be a K-Tel Mini Pop. Sad and pathetic, but true.
