Let it snow, my ass… December 6, 2008

it was just like one of those movie scenes…  as i walked out of barnes & noble, i look up and it was magical!  the snow was falling so light and flaky agingst the grayish purple sky.  it was like i was inside of a snow globe.  tiny delicate flakes were sticking to my “nose and eyelashes” (to quote julie andrews, “my favorite things”).   aah!  the yule tide season hath surely arrived…

then i got to my “truck” and had to scrape a two inch layer of that fucking shit off…

breast pumps and other misc items November 17, 2008

i am selling my stuff.  i am selling pianos, bedroom sets, and pretty much anything that i don’t absolutely need.  i’m going through my storage rooms full of baby items that i no longer have use for to sell.  there’s a high chair, a couple of mattresses, a few strollers, some toys and lo and behold my dear old handy dandy breast pump.  now, you breast feeding moms out there know that these liquid nourishment extractors cost a pretty penny.  so, i do what any normal junk hoarding woman would do, i list it on craig’s list.  that’s right.  there is a used breast pump for sale for the next lucky bidder.  any takers?  i know it’s not uncommon, it’s just funny to me.  i have stored up all these items in rooms in my home.  i see them everytime i add to the clutter, year by year, but it never crossed my mind how much time has gone by.  not only that, but i look back and i can hardly believe that i have given birth to two children and at least attempted to nourish them the way the good lord intended.  it’s something i never thought i’d do.  i always wanted children, but not to breast feed them.  but i did.  and i loved it.  anyway, that’s not the point.  the point is you can pretty much sell anything on craig’s list.  so thank you, craig.  where ever and who ever you are.  because of you, moms everywhere can sell and buy used breast pumps and probably much weirder items that i really don’t want to know about…

peace out, yo.
