Would like you to know

IMG00281

Kyle would like you to know his hand is the most delicious thing he's ever tasted. Or he's teething. Or he's just a regular baby. Basically, Kyle wants to confuse the hell out of you until you throw your hands up in despair. Then he'd like you to know you can't possibly stay frustrated with him. BECAUSE HE'S TOO MUNCHABLE FOR GRUDGES!

I would like my husband to know I need an iPhone. This BlackBerry crap ain't cutting it anymore. I may look better fuzzy and in poor lighting, but my boy doesn't.

And Molly would like you to know she was sitting just across the room when this photo was taken and no one even bothered to ask her if she'd like to be in the frame. No one even bothered to look in her direction. Not even the one who screams a lot. (Not sure who she's referring to. We all scream a lot in this family.)

I would like you to know we're about to head out to Wal-Mart, which would kill my soul if the Wal-Mart in our new town wasn't pretty OK. I KNOW. THAT'S CRAZY TALK. But, the lighting doesn't make me want to hurt myself and everyone seems to keep their shirt and shoes on.

Finally, we'd all like you to have a really great weekend, soaked in wine and sleep and reality television. We would like our weekend to be soaked in the same things.

See you Monday! Or on Twitter! Or at Wal-Mart!

You two make the best photo ever (even though Molly was left out of it). Hope you had fun at Wal-Mart and I'll see you tomorrow. Kyle certainly is munchable!

I accidentally went to WalMart the other day and bought Brie - it was $3.84! Who ever heard of such a thing! Such a bargain!

Dude, you don't EVEN WANT TO KNOW what I've seen at that Wal-Mart.

Just wait til Race Week. It gets WAY more interesting then.

I live by one of the scare wal-marts. When I was shopping on the fourth of July I can't even count the number of people shopping with no shoes on.

I want an iPhone too, but my company pays for my phone, and it's not an iPhone, and DH can't understand the need for a second phone, so I'm not getting one.

I fricking hate walmart but it's where I grocery shop- I mean really, who can afford NOT to? Sadly, I trade my soul so I can afford fancy hand bags rather than organic produce. What?

We made a wal-mart trip tonight too! The prices are just so much cheaper, even though it is just a terrible trashy place. Gotta go to the grocery store again tomorrow to get meat & produce, b/c you certainly can't but that at wal-mart.

The iPhone looks like fun for sure, but I super heart my BlackBerry. And some of the photos I've taken with it have turned out pretty well!

I would like Mike to know that you NEED an iPhone and I won't take no for an answer. We can share cute iPhone cases! It's like sharing shoes, only smaller.

Post Of The Day

  • Secrets
    You’re only as unique as the secrets you keep. Go do something good. Go do something evil. In solitude and love, it’s beyond good and evil. Go do these things and tell no one. Let them quicken the throb of your heart and the pace of your blood and, as you become your own poem, watch who you become. People will see it in your eyes—not the content of your secrets—but the fact that you have secrets, that you know and have seen secret things. They will love you and hate you, want to possess and destroy you.
