That’s it right there.  That’s what I just ate.  Yep.  I just had my tonsils out but they’re small squares – smaller than the picture above.  I can’t eat solids but I can suck on gourmet chocolate mint candy all I want.

And I did.

And I still am.

This is how last night went -

Elaina comes home and I had just finished having cold scrambled eggs as my dinner (remember – recovering from a throat/sinus operation here.  No hot foods or solids) and she and I are in my bed just doing girly stuff (talking about personal matters that I never address on my blogs because there is only one thing I keep personal, that wee little thing they call a “personal life” and I won’t tell hers either) and suddenly I interrupt her (I do that a lot, I adore her for her patience) and I say, “Do you want chocolate?  Fanny May sent me chocolates to review.”

“Hell yeah I want chocolate!”

I sprint up out of bed and run downstairs trying to remember where I hid them.  I think it took me about five minutes checking all my “favorite item hiding places” and then I saw it hidden under printer paper.  I run upstairs and rip the gold wrapping paper off and unveil this – (more…)

Finally, a doll that can transform with your mood.  I was recently asked to review some plush, cuddily new dolls that were uber cute and squishy when you first looked at them but the second you felt a hint of rage, all you have to do is shove your hand right up it’s ass and pull out a doll of fury, armed and ready to stand by you and stare at people angrily as they walk by.

What’s even better is that my goodie bag for review came with a door hanger that came with a “I’m cool I won’t kill you” side and another “Enter he and ye shall ne’er return” or some shit (It’s late and I have no motivation to go check it).  That sign alone had my five year old stoked.

Once I explained the concept of the door holder, he decided to let the world know he was ready to play.  I assumed he wanted it for his bedroom but he put it on the main door to the house.  Following that, we each took various pets and shoved our hands in their smiling little asses to make them into seriously pissed off pets.  Couldn’t blame them, look where I just put my hand! (more…)

I recently went to my very first parent/teacher conference.  I walked in there thinking she’s going to tell me I may as well put my son in third grade because he’s so smart.  My son was speaking seven word sentences by fourteen months.  He’s going to excel at everything.  Dur.

I didn’t realize that just because he uses big words and talks as much as (if not more than) I do, he can’t see and recognize the key components to the visual aspect of reading and spelling.

I was taken through his upcoming report card and what the teacher will be looking for and I saw what he needs to work on.  The teacher highly recommended that I start putting words on index cards and getting books that might help with phonics and then I got a nice smack on the ass reminding me that I have this sweet Rock ‘N Learn DVD set waiting for me at home.

I’ve been sick.  Gosh, I’ve been sick for over a year.  I just FINALLY had the operation to end all of this and I’m in recovery for it but I’ve had these DVD’s for a little while and they’ve been more than patient with me.

Turns out it was to their benefit. (more…)

Okay, so I planned on making a beautiful movie to show all of you and had it pretty much done then two things happened -

1- I have pneumonia.  Again.  It’s bad but they’re treating it aggressively because I’ll be really upset if I miss Halloween.  It’s my favorite holiday.

2- MY LAPTOP BROKE.  AGAIN! Everything I have is on there.  I have it all backed up so I didn’t lose it but my backup  PC is a mini that can’t handle the mighty power that I need to upload things.  I managed to pull the things off my hard drive and use another computer but I can’t edit or anything.  All it needed was like flashy lights or something.  No biggie.  It’s a great movie.  Watch it.

As always, I like to give the company a chance to tell us their take on the product because they know about it better than I do -
