I am a Mom!

Well okay not quite a Mom, but I am now a sort of Philosophical Mother. That’s right, a submission I made to this e-zine now appears! Go take a look at “My First Time”

Our very own Zero Boss is on the cover! Congrats Jay, but dude where did your kids get all that cuteness?

The magazine is put together by a very nice mommy and she has her own blog too. She is MOM & Pop Culture. Please go visit her site. Thanks Lizbeth Finn-Arnold and her huge staff! Actually she works alone and does a great job. Go and check out the Dads & Grads issue!

Life's Little Lessons

The saying goes “You learn something new everyday”. I have seen a few people sum up what they learned during the week. I have learned something that cannot wait for a week ending wrap-up. This is something that must be broadcast now for the safety of all.

If ever eating really HOT chicken wings, please remember this, always wash your hands before you go into the bathroom to go potty. Guys, this is a specific lesson for you! It gives a whole new meaning to the chicken dance!

My Little Princess

Genuine Girl fell asleep in her wreck room. She is like a little doll. In fact, look at her venue for sleeping today.

Photoshop Anyone?

Can someone please tell me where I can get one of the programs where you can cut and paste things from photos? I am wanting to cut and paste my picture next to a beautiful super model type. You know the kind? Then I could send you all Christmas cards with me and a hottie!

So far this is the best I could do……

Mr and Mrs Genuine.bmp

Yes honey, I know you are feeling very tired and very pregnant, but you are as beautiful as the day this was taken. I love you.

Update: NO! I have not done anything wrong yet. Did I just say yet?

Cicadas and Yabuts

I am not sure we here in Colorado have the Cicada problem that is plaguing the east. My problem seems to be that my house is infested with Yabuts. For those of you that don’t know anything of this vermin I should probably share an example of its devastation.

Me: Get in bed!

Her: Yabut I wanted to ask you something.

Me: What?

Her: I have to go potty.

Me: You just went potty.

Her: Yabut I have to go again.

Me: No, go to bed!

Her: Yabut I’m thirsty.

Me: No, go to bed.

Her: Yabut Mommy said I could.

Me: Mommy is not here.

Her: Yabut if she was here I could get a drink.

Me: I’m counting to three!

Her: Yabut can I have a drink first?

How do you fight against these Yabuts? Are they on a cycle of every four years?

HOW DO WE FIT IN?

I was talking to Jay yesterday back and forth through email, and between bouts of hysteria after reading a few of his one liner zingers, I thought “I should blog this”. Well I have always been a day late and a dollar short when it comes to good ideas. Too bad, I’m blogging it anyway

Go over and tell him what you think the genre of your blog is and maybe we could come up with some fun categories.

Jay has aptly named our (as in he and I) genre as “Goofy Guys With Kids”.

We were discussing the popularity of some blogs and why their popularity has reached their levels. At this point he broke off into what I believe is a Hindu level of hierarchy in the world type analogy and I had one of my moments of the giggles. I had asked Jay why he felt Dooce was such a popular blog in the blogging community, I mean beside the fact she is an excellent writer and very talented. Then we discussed her style of not allowing comments on her site, and the fact that she rarely is seen visiting or commenting on other sites. I must confess I have no proof of this but she hasn’t visited my site nor left comment, which in itself is amazing self control.

Jay went on to say that he thought that she was the opposite of me, perhaps the Anti-Genuine. I hope what he meant was I read everyone’s blogs about 110 times a day and leave comments wherever I go. I guess he could have meant that I was just not very popular.

I think I’ll contact Dooce and ask her permission to use her name in a new tagline, something like:

“Genuine………the Dichotomy of Dooce” or maybe the ever popular “Genuine…….the Antithesis of Dooce.”
