Bacon, part II

Not music to my ears

I have a bit of a problem I'll call, 'blog-lurking'. And since I'm lurking, I don't necessarily have a right to this complaint but I'll say it anyway;  STOP MAKING ME LISTEN TO YOUR FAVORITE MUSIC when I click on to your blog. Allow me to expand;  1). I startle easily so the unexpected noise (what you call, 'music') catches me off guard. 2). Nobody clicks on your blog to hear what's playing on your little poor-ass quality playlist.com pop-out music player.  3). When I want to listen to music, I listen to my music.  4). Keep you and your significant other's song to yourself. It's more special that way. 

On the family front, we found out this week that Sofie has to get glasses. Between the jaw brace / headpiece contraption and glasses, I don't think I need to worry too much about boys being interested in her. On a better note, she likes her new therapist and her psych doc thinks we have found just the right combination of meds. I'm not so sure. Kristof - as always - is a joy to have around. He's thrilled with the political direction in which our country is heading. He is still responsibly carrying out his paper route duties. He's just a great kid. We're so fortunate.

Sasha and I plan to take JD on a bird-watching jaunt later today provided it doesn't rain. I'm hoping to find a Northern Flicker. I got a long-distance photo of a Rock Pigeon last week and counted about 78 seagulls, 15 pigeons and a dead house finch near the side of the road. You never know where nature will show up. While at the Taco Bell drive through 2 weeks ago, I saw 17 geese flying in V-formation overhead.  

Sodium Supervision

Apparently cake baker is having hunger and/or craving issues. People rarely crave pork in and of itself. How can one think, "Mmmmm! A cute piglet, (that as a fetus - resembles a human), sounds so lovely to chew and swallow today?!" Sure, humans are ghastly creatures with a nonsensical need for violence and blood lust; so why the bacon tribute? Kristof and Sophie have NEVER had pork of any kind, as I, Sasha, do my best to keep our home Kosher. The logical explanation is that Cb may have a ridiculously low sodium blood count. Ladies, please take this as a warning: If you are craving something, like salt, PLEASE grab those Saltines and munch away!

Faux pas of the hairy kind

Dear Interwebs,

Why do women, usually the younger variety, think purple lowlights or highlights are o.k.?

Dear friend of Sasha's,

Why is it o.k. to let your already aesthetically challenged, obese adolescent daughter dye her hair with Kool-Aid? Is it because you won't let her get a tramp-stamp (to match yours) until she's 14? So you're giving her a break on the hair thing? 

Dear Hairdresser,

You did a kick-@ss color job on my hair 3.5 weeks ago. Where did the color go, such that my natural sh@t-brown color is now showing through? And also, too, can you get some new scissors that don't cause my hair to magically grow at 5 times the normal rate starting the week after you cut it? Or can you just move in with me and cut it once a week?

Dear JD, 

You need to go to the groomers. Will you take yourself there tomorrow? I can only only remove so much of the vomit and dog food smell from the beard around your mouth. While on that subject, please...brush your teeth. 

The First daughter

Sasha has learned that she shares a name with Barack Obama's 7-yr. old daughter. Not only that, but Sasha Obama is also a huge Miley Cyrus fan (as is my Sasha).  Kindred spirits.

New Gallup poll results from MSNBC:

68% have a favorable view of the new President

65% think the country will be better of in 4 years than it is now

I'm guessing the other 30+% are illiterate or don't have a television.

Buh

bye.

4. Our family does not have to move to Canada.
   
5. SNL can return to regular comedic skits.
   
6. The war will be over in 2009.
