The video quality on this sucks, but that didn’t stop me from laughing so hard I nearly crapped myself.

A bit of random digital ejaculations.  (I saw that in Wired and loved it.)

-We went to Barnes and Noble last night so I could pick up a cookbook and Lukas was playing in the children’s section.  A little boy had soiled himself and was smelling the place up, so Lukas walked up to him, pointed, and started screaming.  What did the parents of this small uncouth screaming child do?  Stood back and laughed like the assholes they are.

-Jessie had a work party on Tuesday and I actually went!  It was lots of fun and Lukas made sure that he was the center of attention as much as possible.  I’m now afraid a few of Jessie’s coworkers might kidnap my child.

-Is it bad that I chose not to talk about the inauguration even though the guy I voted for won?  I’m just so tired of politics after that election…I even have a hard time sitting down and watching the news because I got so fried on it during the campaign.

-Lukas is a lady’s man.  He loves pretty women…especially if they are blond.  He stares, screams to try to get their attention, and smiles as much as he can to get them to talk to him.  His teenage years are going to keep me in a constant state of anxiety.

-Datester’s headline picture is of a very detailed vibrator, i.e. it looks just like a penis.  I thought a little shock value might amp up the readers, and we have a few.

-I eat toast for breakfast every morning, and although he has already eaten, Lukas insists on sitting in my lap and sharing my toast with me.  It’s a cute little time with him sitting on my lap one hand stuffing toast in his mouth and the other hand balled up into a tiny fist.  If I eat ANYTHING in front of him, I’d better be prepared to share unless I enjoy having him pull at my legs and scream.

-The top design of this page is still in the works.  Instead of going with a clipart image or something fabricated, we opted for something actually made by the two of us.  I will draw it and Jessie will fill it in and get it up.  This should be interesting.  It might look like shit, though.

-In a previous comment thread, I said that I thought that President Grant was the hottest president in my eyes.  Can I change my answer to Obama now?  That guy is cute as hell.

-I hate women who “Glisten” rather than sweat.  I’m a freaking rain forest.  At Jessie’s office party, there were probably 20+ people crammed into one room and it got hot…so I started sweating……a lot.  It was embarrassing because nobody else seemed to be dripping from perspiration like I was.  In the summer time it’s even more embarrassing….My face, cleavage, and back are always sweaty.  Luckily my armpits usually don’t sweat terribly.

-I’m really very proud of Datester.  That’s a lot of my hard work in one place.  It’s not a big famous thing, but we have people coming in and leaving comments.  I even had a gentleman ask for my opinions on his dating site since I am the one who writes reviews for Datester.  I guess there was a need for quality site reviews and my opinion might actually matter. 

-I’m planning on having a totally corny and tacky Valentine’s dinner at my home the 14th of February.  I actually despise Valentine’s Day and think it’s a load of bullshit, but I’ve been so bored and isolated lately that I thought it might be fun to have a corny little family party.

That’s all folks.

Last Thursday we purchased a sectional sofa from Craigslist (kind of like Ad Pad).  It came from a lady who had had it for 5 years, but she had three children of her own and always had other childrenand teenagers over as well as two dogs.  It’s not in great shape.  It’s got tears, wear, and stains all over it.  These people, however were clean people.  They lived in a house that was at least $750k, and it was a clean and nice smelling house.  She had a potpourri that was herb-based with strong undertones of dill.  On the ride home, I kept getting whifs of dill in my hair.  The ad on Craigslist said “The most comfortable sofa ever!”  So I wanted to have a look.  Besides the wear and tear, it’s a nice couch.  You can tell they paid good money for it.  It’s still fluffy.  It doesn’t creak when you sit on it like our last sofa. 

We decided to buy used for a couple reasons.  We have a cat.  We have a toddler.  It was only $200!  We count our pennies, people.  I was having night sweats over the thought of having to spend $1200 on a new couch.  But we lucked out.  Thursday we bought it and Friday Jessie rented a U-Haul van and brought it home.  That ad wasn’t lying when it said it’s the most comfortable sofa ever.  It really is.  It’s cushy and snuggly.  The cat loves it, Lukas loves it, and Jessie and I love it.  Last weekend we all took turns napping on it.  Heaven. 

We needed a sectional because when family visits, we needed more seating..and also when Mom and Fred are here, Fred likes to sleep on the couch and that basically took away most of our seating by him being sprawled out…so now he can sleep and there’s still some seating for other people.  I stitched up most of the holes, and I’m going to buy one of those Bissell Little Green things…it’s a small shampooer.  See if I can’t get some of these stains off this thig and make it look a little brighter. 

I’m sitting on the new sofa right now.  Snuggled in the corner nook.  Surrounded by cushions.  I could fall asleep right now.  Can’t, though.  The work of a Mommy is never done. 

P.S.  I FUCKING LOVE THIS SOFA!
