Miscellany Monday

shoppy what?

{one} Calling all bloggers and Internet savvy friends, what in tarnation is Shoppy Bag? I've gotten numerous emails from familiar names inviting me to preview a friend's shopping bag! Am I missing out?


it's over...

{two} It's been tough to watch my Gators this year and though I never thought I'd say this, I'm pleased to see this football season come to a close. With no big games left and certainly no hopes of attending any BCS Bowl, it seems the Gators, after a downward spiraling season, may just be destined for the Toilet Bowl. Maybe Santa will bring the Gators some game!

potty humor

{three} As a momma of a 16 month old, I find myself discussing, with great regularity {haha pardon the pun that's about to unfold}, pee and poo! Did she poop today? Can you believe that wet diaper? She had an explosion!---All commonly heard conversation starters around our house. And while I love a little dose of potty humor every once in a while, I couldn't believe my eyes when I came across these two stuffed somethings the other day!

Seriously? Let's just say I hope to never find pee and poo anywhere but Sweet Bean's diaper, yuck!


cooties

{four} All little girls know, boys have cooties! As we grow up we learn that it's probably not true, and is just a playground urban legend originated by dad's everywhere in a global effort to keep their tiny sweethearts uninterested in the opposite sex as long as possible! But cooties are real---germs are everywhere! And I was appalled to learn that our cell phones are dirtier than toilet seats, according to one ABC news study. This gives new meaning to the phrase, talk dirty to me! Clorox wipes, anyone?!

{Sorry about the unintended reoccurring theme of this week's Miscellany---I promise to refrain from any mention of the word "toilet" in at least the next dozen or so posts! }

something for nothing

{five} Have you seen these two lovelies?

a no go

{six} Between the temps and the wind yesterday, we didn't stay long at Christmas on the Hill, our neighborhood's holiday celebration. Ready for Gillian Grace's first one on one with the Big Guy, imagine our disappointment to learn that Santa's lap was closed for business! That's right, no sitting on Santa's lap this year, Santa's only interaction with his tiny tot fan club was a two minute sleigh ride through the parking lot and even then the kids had to sit with their parents! Humph! So Mr. Mall Santa here we come! Let's hope "kids on lap" is still in your job description!

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus...

Say what? No getting on Santa's lap...

But I've been so good!
