Today I am contributing cherry frosted pop-tarts gently toasted in honor of this historic time and place where Monday potlucks have its own badge. Thanks to the mad skillz of Nap Warden my little potluck looks a lot yummier. Thanks to Burgh Baby’s Mom for this fun valentine. I would like to pass it on to Jodi, M2B, HC, Jen and Fussy in honor of this new site–TODAY. Last week I was in Williams-Sonoma and overheard this end of a cell phone conversation delivered by a very well dressed, very tall man: “It is just a matter of time until the word gets out and then Wal-Mart is going down”. WHAT? You heard it first here… Wal-Mart is going down. Dear Lunchables, I don’t buy you, but blog-Stedman sometimes does the shopping over which I have no control (deep cleansing breaths) so please take note that when you label every package inside with “Congratulations” you have won my 6 y/o who can read such things goes wild. It then takes 20 minutes to explain to him that a one month subscription to some online gaming site isn’t really much of a prize. It is NOT NICE to parents. And what part of Nachos is real food? Holly I don’t mean to be a complainer, but it is going to be 80 degrees today. Feb. 4? What happened to “in-between” temps? Disclaimer: Blogger spell check is still not operating so please forgive my inability to spell correctly. After watching a full day of PBSkids on Friday, I will have to say that pretty much everything on that channel is awful. The more recent crop of children’s programming seems to find it necessary to “engage its audience” by asking them questions in the middle of the story. This is what it looks like at my house… Perky TV animal shouts while looking in the camera “Hey, what is your favorite color?” In my living room are 3 boys staring but stone silent. Perky TV animal responds, “Oh! I LOOOOOOVE that color. You are such a good color picker” In my living room are 3 boys staring but stone silent. Perky TV animal sings, “Lets all do the rainbow dance! First you move your arms and legs…” In my living room are 3 boys staring but stone silent. Perky TV animal stops dancing to state, “Wow! You do the rainbow dance better then anyone I have ever seen! Good job, Friend!” In my living room are 3 boys staring but stone silent. ENOUGH. Stop trying to “Interact” with my children AT HOME THROUGH THE TV! Stop trying to “build up their self-esteem” with stupid affirmative statements after they have contributed NOTHING. And above all, TV CHARACTERS ARE NOT FRIENDS! *Fade to black*

  1. Too funny about the children’s TV program. It is enough to make one insane. Not that we are exactly sane to begin with.

    I am SO glad you mentioned the spell check not working on Blogger. I can’t get the spell check OR adding an image to work. I also haven’t seen any mention that they recognize that it is a problem and it is almost a week now! (So sorry to rant on YOUR blog!) Any ideas?

    I’m not a Walmart fan, due to their business practices. So, I cry no bitter tears if they are truly going down…

  2. This was hysterical – “Perky TV animals” – hahahahahaha!! So funny! My spell check is not working either – I am in big trouble – what is going on with that?? Have a good Tuesday – see you later. Kellan

  3. OMG! That was hilarious! I couldn’t agree more with the shows asking questions…it is so. annoying! And my daughter just stares at the TV completely puzzled.

    My mom hated lunchables and never let me have them *sigh*
