Tonight EAK and NEK and I went for a bike ride around town. At one point NEK looks over at me and says "I can smell that gas stuff that comes out of cars."

I said "You mean the exhaust? That smell that comes from a car?"

He said "Yes, I love the smell of exhaust in the morning."

Then about 15 seconds later he said "I love the smell of pancakes in the morning too."

I love that boy.

NEK

I have to say that my seven year old sometimes cracks me up. You can judge for yourself.

Last week NEK and EAK both got new bicycles as they had outgrown their old ones. When I asked NEK if he thought the bike was gonna work for him he told me "It's very manly!".

Then, today as we are riding bikes:

me: "NEK, you can stand up and pedal up hills now? Good job, buddy!"

NEK: "Yep, the girls will like!" (with a wink and a nod and a shitty little grin)

Ok, so maybe you had to be there.

"You can't say shut up...."

When our dear little sweet EAK was very young, like 2, she was told not to say certain things. For example, she was told that it was not ok to say shut up, or butt, or fart, or any of those "naughty words". So.....one night when she was about 2 1/2 or 3 we came home close to 10 o'clock and the phone was ringing. DH said "what the hell is going on here?".

Well, EAK of course said it too. So we had to remind her not to say that either. So, of course she used to like to say out loud periodically "You can't say butt, you can't say shut up, and you can't say what the hell is going on here".

She also made up a song that went "I cannot say shut up, I will not say shut up...."

Well, to this day she does not say "naughty" words. She doesn't say shut up, she doesn't say fart, or butt, or any of those words.

Tonight NEK was messing with her and as he walked past she said "quit it, you little bastard." I about fell over!! My goody goody little EAK just said "bastard"!!

ME: "EAK, what did you say? Did you just call him a little bastard?"

EAK: "yeah, why?"

ME: "EAK, you can't say that word. It's like a swear word, a naughty word."

EAK: "Oh. Sorry, mom. I didn't know."

She wasn't even kidding!! She didn't know it was a swear word! I mean in first grade she told her teacher that she would sometimes think naughty words in her head, but never said them out loud. She was even sure to tell me a few months ago about how a book she was reading had the word "h-e-l-l" in it, but it was ok cuz she just skipped over it.

I had to giggle. It made me laugh that the girl who doesn't say naughty words just called her little brother a bastard.

Definitely Male

I know, I haven't blogged in like FOREVER! I've been sooooo busy! First I got hooked on Facebook.

Then I started reading the Twilight series. Right now you are saying one of these things:

1. I LOVE THOSE BOOKS!! or
2. I'm not into vampires.

Well, I'm not into vampires (well, I wasn't before), but those books are AWESOME! My husband says they are like "crack". He's right, I couldn't put them down. I'd read them again if I hadn't loaned them out. Seriously, if you haven't read them, you need to.

Ok, enough about that for now, I need to get on with the purpose of my post.

The other day I walked into the living room and NEK was sitting on the couch. I happened to notice that he had his hand down his pants.

ME: NEK, get your hand out of your pants. Why do you have your hand in your pants anyway?

NEK: It just feels good down there.

He's male.....definitely male.

Please help me!

If you've read my blog very long, you may know I have weight issues. Yes, you could say I'm sometimes obsessed. I have, however, stopped weighing myself every time I go to the bathroom. I only weigh myself three times a day now. Really, that's good for me. Anyway, I lost about 36 pounds several years ago and haven't had to work very hard to keep it off. I could eat pretty much what I wanted and I was fine.

Until about a year and a half ago anyway. My doctor put me on some medication that made me hungrier than normal. I gained 15 pounds and didn't really care. At one point I finally decided that I would rather be thin and off the medication, than keep gaining and be on it.

So, I started working at losing the 15. Ok, I didn't really work that hard. I'd lose a few here and there and then would gain it back. I know I'm not fat (just chubby around the edges), but I decided that since we are going on vacation the middle of February, I want to fit into my favorite bathing suit and not have it look too awful terrible.

The first of the year I started working out. I'd do the elliptical for 20-30 minutes, do about 100-200 sit-ups, and started lifting weights a little bit. I lost a whopping ZERO pounds. NADA. NOTHING. No matter how little I ate or how many days in a row I worked out I lost nothing.

I then decided to go back to my "weight watchers" days and started eating like I did when I lost weight way back when. I only have 7 pounds left and can actually button one of my favorite pairs of capris that I'll want for my trip.

This is what I need help with: DH just went in the kitchen and I could tell he was getting a snack. He asked if I wanted some apple crisp with ice cream. YES I WANT SOME! HELLO! I LOVE SUGAR! MY MIDDLE NAME IS SUGAR! (ok, you are right, my middle name is hot tamales. I'm sorry for not being honest.)

I did not have any. I just started chugging some water instead. Can someone please help me tie him down so he'll stop torchering me by making me watch him eat stuff like that???

LOL

You have to go read this post about my niece, Pdub. It's the one titled "Privacy Please!".

It SERIOUSLY made me laugh out loud!

'bout that time of year

That's right.....it's about that time of year again. The time of year when I tell you where I'm going on vacation. I love vacation. Especially when it's in the 20 below zeroes out today and I'm gonna go somewhere where it's usually about 75-80 or so during the day.


Unfortunately, when my DH decided to switch jobs, the new company does not send us on trips. Luckily though, they pay him more, so we decided to go ahead and take a trip anyway. We even have friends who are going with us so it will be that much more fun.


So.......I'll be laying here on this beach for five days. At home right now it is well below zero and we can't go outside with any bare skin uncovered. In exactly 29 days I will be here.....in the warm sun.....drinking an umbrella drink.....in Cozumel. Life will be good.
