The Olympics Review So Far

My mother and I used to watch ice skating all the time back in the day. I mean waaay back in the day, Scott Hamilton skating competitively day. I remember when he did backflips and people would lose. their. minds. Brian Boitano. Katarina Witt. If they skated and announce now, we watched them. Ice skating aside, we never really got into the winter games. Just not our thing. Summer games not so much either but that's another story. I found out that my mother in law loves to watch the ice skating too. My husband actually watches it with us. He doesn't have the same appreciation for it and it's hard to hear the announcers over his intense giggling at some artistic expression. In addition to the skating, we watch the hockey (we do live in the State of Hockey afterall) and the speed skating. Oh and curling. Go Bimidji!! Last night was the first time that we watched for more than five minutes and here's what we've seen:



Joey Cheek: I call him Cheeky. Look at Cheeky go! Cheeky won the gold! Cheeky is looking good!

Shaun White: I love this kid. Peanut will probably have his hair color and, knowing my bad luck hair, his style. 19 years old and he's killing them out there. He said going to the Olympics is great cause he'll get lots of babes. (I'm paraphrasing) Oh to be that young again.

Bode Miller: I will now share some lame jokes we thought of last night (ok they were thought of by me, hence the lame part)
The 2006 Winter Olympics are brought to you by Miller Lite.
There will be no-bode on the medal stand.

Johnny Weir: I thought the Olypmic Torch was the biggest thing flaming in Italy. I stand corrected. Was he supposed to be in the women's competition cause that's what his "swan" costume was screaming to me. One red glove for the swan head. I need a bullet for mine please.

Brian Joubert: Another reason to not like the French. Did anyone see "007" perform last night? The "gun shooting"? The "bomb tossing"? The "boxing"? That one put the husband over the edge. It was almost too painful to watch. I'm really shocked that no one has complained about the howling.

Ligety Ligety Ligety Mack Ted Ligety: He won the gold Ligety split!


On a side note, my son had a stinky diaper, he hugged me then said "Peew! Mommy stinks." My DNA hard at work there people. Can you feel the warm fuzzies?

Nice To Meet You

Hi. I just got here last week. They call me the Littlest Little. I'm glad to be here and I'm sure I'll be seein' ya around. This my mama. She's always telling me that she loves me and is so blessed to have me in her life. Sometimes she cries. Wait, that's all the time. Someone should get her a tissue or two or a box. This is my daddy. See my pinky here? He's wrapped around it already. I don't think he minds though. This is Fluffy and she's the coolest auntie there is. Her little girl, Monkey? I dig that one. Hopefully she and I can be the best of friends. It's my uncle, Pedro Juan. Everyone says I'm a mellow baby and that he was the same way when he was but a baby. That's cool with me. I love my Peej. Hopefully I'll have photos of me with my cousins and siblings tomorrow. And Uncle Kota? Mama is trying to find the picture of us together. She's not all that fast on the uptake. Cut her some slack though k? If she gets her poop in...

Customer Appreciation Day

Dear Crotchety Broad, While I love my job and think it's the easiest one in the world to have, I do not think dealing with your ass was easy. Here are some highlights from my fabulous time with you: When your cashier is ringing up your precious produce, putting the codes in (from memory thank you very much), don't start trash talking her. I didn't hear you ask if I needed help because, well, um, I was busy ringing your shit up. When I look up because I heard something , don't look at me and say, " HELLO??" all sarcastic and shit. I will squish your tomatos, avocados and bread. When I ask if you have coupons, that's generally a sign that I am not a mind reader, can't see in your purse and can't predict the future (contrary to what you may think dear customer). As a refresher, here's our coversation: Loverly Cashier: Did you have any coupons today ma'am? (and that ma'am part may or may not have been choked out of my throat) Crotchety Broa...
