Dick, as usual, is always trying to get out of having to change a diaper but he loves to hog the baby. After hogging the baby one day, he comes running to me saying, “Baby wants Mommy!” and darts off to go back outside where he was working out. I’m thinking Benz is wanting BOOBIE [...]

Trying to avoid getting pushed off the ledge to see rooftop views of the G20 Protest.
By Jane on July 12, 2010
THE ROOF In search of some worthy protest excitement, we turn the corner and then we see a bunch of people heading up the stairs to this building nearby. My aunt doesn’t want to go but as you can see, MIA is urging her. She is successful. But once we get up there, we see [...]

One of the walls of the girls room is completely blank and I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do to it. I thought maybe I would do four boxes of blue like from the brochure. Not FEELIN’ it. Plus, that would require lots of taping and I’m not up for it. [...]
