A new masthead, four months worth of updates... and a really good explaination!

We join our heroines in the middle of a "What are we going to do on our summer vacation?" conversation...

Karen: We'll go to the water slides, and Disneyland...

Pria: ...and I want to go on a vacation somewhere!

Karen: Oh, of course!

Pria: Somewhere with a nice hotel, or maybe a resort!

Karen: Yeah, we'll go somewhere nice. Somewhere tropical, like Hawaii or the Bahamas.

Pria: How come I never get to pick where we go?

Karen: Alright baby, you pick - where would you like to go?

Pria: Ohio.

Karen: OK see, that's why you're not allowed to pick.

...and all is good and right in the world once again.

It's your birthday, Boo! Where do you want to go? Sky's the limit! What's it going to be? Spago? Koi? Water Grill?...

"Nope. Hometown Buffet."

Really sweetie, because we'll take you anywhere you want to go. Red Lobster? CPK?

"It's my birthday and I get to pick! Hometown Buffet!"

And so (after Michael and I changed out of our fancy clothes and put on some jeans) we went to Hometown Buffet. And we closed the spot down. Happy sixth, BittyBoo.

I just now realized the purpose of giving children the cake batter beaters to lick, it 's not to give them a little treat... it's to keep them out of the kitchen! At least I turned off the mixer and took the beaters out before I let her lick them. (Unlike my mother did.)

There are things in this world that I just don't understand - and I wish somebody would explain them to me. Whitsett & Riverside.

And in what other way would you possibly expect me to dress her for "Blast from the Past" Day?

There are things in this world that I just don't understand - and I wish somebody would explain them to me. Ventura & Hazeltine.

I am Bender. Please insert girder.

It's a good thing her school had a special day where they trucked in twelve tons of snow for the kids to play in.

See, in Los Angeles, our children know nothing of snow. They see it on TV then pester us with requests to go to said snow. They often look at us in confusion and say "Isn't January part of winter?" To which we reply "go get your bathing suit on - we're going to the beach."

Which is exactly what we did three days later.

 

 

01.08.07

First day at her brand-new school!

For Keri only. Stop looking! You're not Keri!

 

 

11.25.06

See, the thing about BittyBoo is...

...the thing is, she's totally into Nixon. Seriously. Ask her what he did that was so bad and she'll tell you "He broke into Watergate and stole all the secrets. Then they were going to fire him so he quit. "

I blame Futurama entirely.

 

 

11.16.06

So yeah, the five-year-old? Gets her hair done in Beverly Hills.

 

INTEROFFICE MEMO

The next time you buy a box of Parmesan Basil Wheat Thins without my knowledge, and you see Pria spreading peanut butter on them, please intervene before she serves them to me. It's called parenting.

ATTENTION TO THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE: YOU SUCK!!!

Sometimes one does not fully realize how hard one truly sucks, therefore I am taking this opportunity to point out your insipid suckiness so that we're all clear as to just what level you suck. That level is: hard. You suck hard.

Boo! 1. PRIA'S SCHOOL

Yeah, I said it. YOU. SUCK. The Friday before Halloween you had a carnival, but the children weren't allowed to wear their costumes to school... they had to bring them in a bag and change after class.

Then, when Halloween was actually here, you still didn't let them wear their costumes to school (not even for the obligatory parade which you only had for the Kinders), and you didn't even let them out early that day. The previous Tuesday you started dismissing them an hour early for "banked time" and said that this will be the norm on Tuesdays from henceforth... oh except for the very next week, on Halloween, the most logical day of the year to get out early.

Everyone thought Pria's shirt was a spangled homage to her nickname - but it's not. It's a social commentary on what we think of your holiday policies.

 

2. ALL OF MY NEIGHBORS WHO DIDN'T GET WHO PRIA WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FOR HALLOWEEN... WHICH IS LIKE - ALL OF YOU.

OK, seriously, how could you NOT get this? You are just far too lame to live in my zip code. I need to move someplace where adults actually watch [Adult Swim]. Hmm... where is that exactly? Back in the dorms?

 

 

 

You know who she is, right Boo-sters? Everyone who answers right gets a spider web cupcake.

Hey Boo-sters! Sorry I haven't updated in a while. You know what I've been up to?

Nobody rocks a PTA bake sale harder than me. Nobody.

Rockin' the PTA bake sale, that's what.
