Marshmallow Madness?

My Dad always told me:
"You're going to eat so many marshmallows, that you're going to turn into one!"

And I pictured turning into Marshmallow Man from The Ghostbusters.

Which would have been AWESOME!

But looking back on it now..

I know what he meant.

I also know that the 5 pound bag, yes. FIVE POUND BAG of marshmallows I got for Christmas one year... wasn't really meant to be awesome.

It was meant for me to get sick of them.

Which, after only about a handful or two left, I finally did.

and I haven't really eaten many marshmallows since...

...until recently...

I'm on some kind of kick.

And I can't shake it.

Those little puffs of delight.

Nostalgic and sweet.

confession:

I've gone through 2 bags in about a month...

..and they were the BIG bag of miniature marshmallows...

(I don't do the big ones, unless I'm desperate...)

I know I have an issue, and I need an intervention.

confession:

I got up from typing this twice already, to grab a handful of the pillowy morsels.

They're everything that's right in this world.

confession:

I put them in a hard(er) to open container to deter me.

It doesn't work.

I'm smart. I know how to get into it.

confession:

I think I really am going to turn into a marshmallow.

I'm the pastiest, whitest one in my family..

my HAIR is even starting to turn white...

and I'm starting to get fluffy.

I might start to take up sailing, just so I can get the proper garb. 




I feel like I've replaced the hole in my heart (and tummy), left from the Newman O's with marshmallows. 
and it's no good.
well. It IS good, and that's the problem.
I can fit more in my hand.. and they're squishy, so I can fit more in my mouth.
They're so light - it's almost like I'm eating sugar coated air.
And air has GOT to be healthy, right?

what the friday?!

I just don't get why they have to invade homes!
My mom told me that putting a dryer sheet in the window will keep them away.
Last year, my bedroom was swarming with them, and so I put one in the window.. I don't have any in my room... Guess I'll have to put one in every window...
::sigh::
Just when I thought my house was over it's high class and fancy ways...


Jerk Face came home with a cold last week.
I thought LB and I were going to successfully resist it.
unfortunately, LB fell to it's demise about Tuesday-ish, and now I'm getting it.
{just in time for the weekend}
what the friday?!
{the only good thing is that it is the weekend, and Jerk Face will be the one getting up with LB}
{however, she always seems to sleep pretty well on the weekends.}
what the friday?!
(is it wrong that I want Jerk Face to get a little dose of what I go through?)

Tuesday's With LB...

A few weeks ago we went to a little pumpkin patch /slash/ petting zoo /slash/ corn maze with my parents.

When we pulled up, I thought it was going to be a bust.. but we ended up having a pretty good time.

My Dad even got to hold LB for a while... which is rare, because she doesn't really care for men.  (yet?)

{side note about the pony: A bunch of little kids were practically torturing the poor thing, and where was their mother?  Standing on the rope, trying to keep the pony still, so her children could continue torturing it!!!! Not cool, lady. Not cool.}

{side note about this^ pumpkin: Everyone wanted that weird little green, bumpy pumpkin.. but LB got it!}

And we went through the spookiest corn maze ever:

And Look!

It really WAS spooky!!!

Throughout the maze were little stations with stamps... At the end of the maze, you turned your ticket in, and reaped the rewards.

Candy!

(There were only 4 stamps though... boo!)

What The Friday?!

I don't know if you've noticed my lack of blogging lately...(I'm sure you haven't, you have many others to read... unless you're a member of my family, and this is the only blog you read....)but I have entered into the toddler arena.
LB is a-movin' and a-shakin'...and I don't have much time to blog anymore.T'is sad.::and::a bit ofwhat the friday?!
She was napping so well just a few weeks ago.I'd rock her to sleep (because I don't know how else to get her to sleep...)and lay her in her crib, and she would sleep for at least an hour.It was golden.But a few weeks ago,she wakes up every time I move!Meaning?She will only nap if I hold her!!!GGGAAAAHHHH!!!!!what the friday?!
Yesterday, I even crawled into her crib with her.It ALMOST worked...I'm going to try it again today.(I don't know how I'll be getting out... but that's an entirely different worry.)**What? I saw Kyle Richards do it with her 2 year old on Beverly Hills Housewives.**{what? don't you get parenting tips from the Housewives??}
Okay.I am open to advice.
(I have let her cry.. just doesn't seem to work. She gets even MORE worked up and doesn't nap at all.)**fyi- she falls asleep amazingly at night, I rock her to sleep, and when the bottle falls out of her mouth, I could Samba with her and she'd sleep through it!**fyi- I don't know how to Samba.
*last fyi- I have been reading your blogs from my iPhone app while I'm rocking LB, but I'm too lazy to comment on them. Sorry!! I'll try to do better!!!
I'm not sure if my link up thingy is working?what the friday?!

Tuesday's With LB ~ Halloween Edition

We didn't bring LB trick-or-treating this year.. perhaps we should've, but there's already enough candy in this house, I didn't need more from neighbors and strangers...

However, we DID dress LB up!

That's the best part, anyways!

Yes, Jerk Face. She IS my doll baby.

And, because I wasn't a blogger last year, I'll post a photo of her costume last year:

We WERE going to dress LB up like a piggy, because she makes a great piggy impression..

but a week or so before Halloween, I was checking something on the internet, and up popped a ghost.

I showed LB the ghost, and told her that a ghost says "Boo!"

...she repeated it back right away!

And her costume was born...

{Project Runway - what?!}
(some pictures are from my phone)

Jerk Face didn't like the tutu that I made her.

I think it was super cute.

{Our Pumpkins}

{How Jerk Face and I spent Halloween after LB went to sleep}

Is there any other way?

How was your Halloween?

Just Some Small Talk About Calories...

My parents bought my husband some Transformer snowballs ("Snowballimus") for his birthday.
{side note: His birthday isn't until mid-November, but the expiration date on this REALLY GREAT GIFT was approaching... so they had to give them to him early.}
{side note: My mom made sure to let him know that they did NOT pay the $4.29 it says they cost. That would be too much to spend on his birthday. :)  ::snicker::}

I wanted to try one... (yes, even though they were about to expire.. and probably have a shelf-life longer than I do..)  They were Optimus Prime colored, and I don't remember the last time I had a snowball.....

KSK:  Will you split this with me?
Jerk Face: No, just eat it.
KSK: But I don't want it all.. it's not very healthy.
Jerk Face: Sure it is...
KSK: There's 170 calories.. and 40 are the fat calorie ones...
Jerk Face: That means 130 are healthy ones. They don't tell you that, do they?


::sigh::


If only it were true...


{p.s.  He did split it with me, and they were not very good...}

**Thanks Parents!     :)

What The Friday?!

I have a hotmail account, which I consider my 'junkmail' account. It was my very first email account, and I've signed up for a lot of junk throughout the years.

I checked it the other day (which is a rare occurance..), 

and it told me that my account was hacked!

what the friday?!

A few days later, I signed onto my gmail account.

This is my account that I use everyday.

It alerted me that my account was trying to be accessed by someone in the Philippines!!

what the friday?!

Two of my email accounts have been hacked in the last two weeks.

WHAT THE FRIDAY?!

Pinteresting funnies

I now have the Pinterest app on my phone.. I'm all sorts of high-tech and fancy!

I'm a self-diagnosed "Pinhead"

(I made that up... and I like it)

You can follow me here!

Here are a few pins that made me chuckle:
