Living with Lindsay



My girlfriend, Lindsay, recently started her very own blog.
It's called "Living with Lindsay." I met Lindsay about two years ago on one of my parenting forums. We have alot of things in common, besides our mutual OCD issues. I even got to meet Lindsay in 2007.

Lindsay is very creative and quite the excellent seamstress.

Here's a little snipet about Lindsay and her blog:

"I'm apparently a handful to deal with. My nickname was "Princess Pea" long before it was cool to be a princess. I'm a wife and a mother, but I don't let labels define me. I'm obsessive and compulsive and have my parents to thank for those quirks. I love Britney Spears and make no apologies for it. I have to design my home decor around a 3-year old who thinks he's a race car and an 80-pound, long-haired white dog. I'm a triathlete and love going to the gym. I think Sesame Chicken is yummy. I don't understand why the gal at Starbucks doesn't know my name yet."


Please check out Lindsay's blog. She's an awesome gal pal of mine!

Why Spelling Is So Important

My co-worker, Kris, showed me this earlier this morning. We were all laughing. I had to have her forward it to me.

PLEASE TELL YOUR CHILDREN THAT SPELLING IS IMPORTANT, EVEN FOR THIRD GRADERS!

If U Seek Amy


I have always had a love for Britney Spears. I'm not hiding it. My friend, Lindsay, also loves Britney. I know that if I want to talk about Britney, Lindsay will always be there for me.

Angry Husband knows about my love for Britney also. I made sure that we had all of Britney's albums downloaded onto our itunes, last week. I even made him sync it to our Apple TV.

So Angry Husband comes home the other night and says, "Did you hear about Britney's controversial new song?" I was like no... He says it's the song, "If U Seek Amy" on the Circus CD. I don't really pay much attention to song titles. I just like what I hear. He then says, "sound it out...." Yea ok, I get it. He then tells me that it's all over the radio that some stations are banning it/and or not playing it. I said dumb..

Angry Husband thinks Britney is trashy. I still like her. But then I had to Google about the drama involved with the song. I found the following stories.

MTV
Media Channel
ACESHOWBIZ
Wikipedia
Access Hollywood

I think there are far worse things out there in the media. I'm a mother and all. But I can't stand censorship.

Of course, Angry Husband has me obsessed with this song now. I listen to it all the time. He says that he can't even get it out of his head.

Trying to Organize

I'm sorry that I've neglected my blog for a few days. I've been trying to organize my house and life more. Part of my Spring ritual is listing all of Angry Toddler's clothing on e-bay. So I organized it all last week and I did pretty good. I only had one tote full, which I usually have two to three.

I got all ready to start typing up my auctions the other night. I just couldn't do it. I decided to subscribe to a Buy-Sell-Trade on a parenting forum. I spent all day on Thursday listing everything and pricing it just right.

I had such memories of last year going through the outfits. I remembered the events that we attending, and the places we went. I may not have the clothes anymore, but we always have our memories in the photographs. I don't save any of Angry Toddler's clothes, except for some small things, like Birthday shirts.

In April, we went to Legoland for the first time. We had never been there and Angry Toddler was soo excited.



Hanging out at The Little Gym in Stacey's office. She sent me this photo. I had never seen it and never even knew she took it.
Or, the many Disneyland trips. We purchased Season Passes last year and it was one of the best decisions that we made. Angry Toddler loves going to Disneyland.


I've got almost 1/2 of my goodies sold. Which mades me very happy. My gardener will be happy too. I'm using the funds that I've made to pay him.

I encourage everyone to use e-bay, Craigslist, or other parenting forums. You might have something in your house that someone is looking for.
