What? No Happy or Loving?

The Spoon Sisters is an online shop with some very interesting gifts though, like, for example, I am sure that we can all use this reminder!

Clearly parents with young children will find pretty much anything amusing

Last night when I got home, I saw this on the dinning table.

Meet Mandy

Or, as I like to call her, “Sexy Mandy”, the gps unit that talks like we should be dialing 1-900-sexymandy to interact with her!

In all fairness to the GPS-making people, they have included 3 different ‘personalities’, 3 girls (of course) and 1 guy (the guy voice sounds like he scolding us!).

Anyways, my husband, who always forcefully says “I don’t like taking directions from a woman!!”, appears to be really enjoying taking directions from Sexy Mandy… I mean, he was using it yesterday to get directions to my mom’s house! (which is 15 minutes away, just in case you were wondering)

In other news, you can see a few Eid photos, with commentary on Flickr.

Peek in Monday & my dancing kids

On Saturday night we had a little dinner at my parent’s house for my sister’s boyfriend, who is leaving to study in the UK. I wanted to participate in Cake’s Peek in Mondays, so I took a bunch of video of everyone, except, I forgot to turn on the mic on the camera! (can you say “loooooser”?!)

Anyways, here is one of my kids trying to dance! (yes, that is my laptop in the background, I do travel with it often, and yes, I was also trying to get some work done, and that’s my mom sitting in the background and laughing a lot!!)

(I have no idea who’s been teaching them to dance!!)

ps… if you can’t understand the lyrics, it’s probably for the best!

If you need to laugh, today’s your lucky day

So, since I have been getting in touch with people from my past, some of them have been reading this blog (hi!!), but it surprised me that the number one feedback that I seem to get is that they are shocked that I appear ‘sane’.

Now, at first I was slightly confused, because I mean really, I am pretty sane right? But then, I found some evidence that suggests that I may have been slightly off my rocker back then… for example, the photo below, where apparently I was somehow led to believe that it was a good idea to pretend to be this guy! (yes, I did allow my friends to draw a “goatie” for me and honestly I have no idea why the hair scrunchies arm-bands were even necessary!)

Seriously people! I would like to believe that I was drunk of something, but since I don’t drink, I’ll just blame it on that strange, awkward but pretty awesome period called teenage-hood!

Ok, surely I am not the only one with embarrassing childhood memories… since I bravely shared this with you, what have you got?
