Polar bear clarification

May 14th, 2008

Just to clarify, because I received a phone call from Mama about it :P :

I do not believe in the hype of global warming. I am not on the global warming train.

I just really like polar bears :( … *sniff, sniff*

I promise I am not becoming an Al Gore-lovin’ hippie, Mama. <3 I’m firmly planted on moderate political ground, I swear! ♥

Polar bears end of story

May 14th, 2008

Polar bear added to endangered species list

The animal, whose habitat has been shrinking with the melting of arctic sea ice, is the first to be designated as threatened with extinction mainly because of global warming.

the arctic sea ice last summer retreated to record levels — a retreat that about half of the climate modelers did not think would happen until 2050.

I know, I know… you’re thinking… “Polar bears? I don’t care about polar bears,” but maybe this will change your mind, you heartless bastards…

Capri Sun, you suck

May 13th, 2008

Oh, Capri Sun how you tease me with your tangy sweetness. I crave you because you’re cold, light, and refreshing but when I finally give in to my desires, poke my straw through your pouch, and begin to drink… I find only 7 seconds pass before I am finishing, gulping only 3 mouthfuls of your dangerous nectar. Yes, I could simply get another drink but it is too late… I am disappointed and betrayed.

You and Yoohoo need to start to a club.

GIMME SOME MO’ DRINK!

Mommy Bloggers vs. Well… the rest of us

May 12th, 2008

Okay so.

I have many Mommy Blogger friends & do enjoy reading their blogs & about their children. They have to have a certain “style” to keep my attention (a sense of humor, something controversial/unique about their parenting, etc.) otherwise I read, “Today my 5 year old screamed ‘Dinosaur fartttts,’ while I did laundry,” and I kind of sit there waiting for the meat of the post only to be left with a shallow, uninteresting recap about normal childhood behavior.

My “problem” with Mommy Blogging is that it’s such a large community online full of opportunity - businesses, forums, contests, and attention from advertising agencies. Yet I feel slighted because “Hello! Over here! I’m a blogger, too! And I’ve been doing it for longer! And just because I can’t tell a funny story about my child eating their own boogers or how cute they looked at their first day of preschool doesn’t mean I don’t have stuff to say!!!” *waves*

I know one day I will (most likely) join the world of Mommy Blogging, but I’m actually scared of my blog being labeled like that & getting sucked in, so to speak.

I’m almost as scared of that as I am of Mary Kay recruiting me to sell their products.

I must say, however, I am a fan of a few Mom Blogs (see right sidebar) that do a great job balancing the parenting posts with other life stories, for us non-mamas out there to read & enjoy.

I just sometimes feel so alone because I don’t belong to a specific group of bloggers (Mommy Bloggers, Video Bloggers, Photo Bloggers, Techie Bloggers, Strictly Paid Bloggers, etc). I’ma create me a little community called:

Mentally Ill & Ridiculous Pajama Pant Wearin Chocolate Eatin Not Married Yet But Will Be One Day Nap Takers Slash Politically Moderate Bloggers.

Anyone else fit that description ;) ?

This is what I look like when I have a cold and previously spilled tomato soup on my new tshirt and am watching Billy play Halo and refuse to put makeup on my puffy eyes:
