Daft Punk Video

Everybody and their Mom has probably already seen this video, but I just watched it the other day for the first time. I thought it was pretty entertaining. It is even more impressive to me because I'm not overly coordinated and I could see myself getting all jumbled up as the song got faster and faster.

It starts off kind of slow, but really picks up. Sorry that the girls are pretty much half naked, but it is in the name of art...which always makes it okay right? :)

One of My Fav Artists. Kurt Halsey.

If you like cutesy and you like simple you will probably love Kurt Halsey Frederiksen's art. He works mostly with pencil, pen, and paint mediums...and I'm a sucker for his work. I went ahead and found a few of my favorites to show. Don't let his style fool you though, this art is not meant for children and is not always of a positive manner. FYI.

If you want to see more here is his website.

This one is my all-time favorite! Ben bought it for me for Christmas a few years ago and I have it hanging in our living room. Love it.

Kid Movies that WILL Scar Your Little One For Life

Little Monsters


Bambi


Dumbo


All Dogs Go to Heaven

Prego...Everybody's Doing It

So I guess there comes a time in every ones life when all of their friends get prego. I have 4 good friends who are expecting right now and even more who have already had children in the past year. This also isn't counting my 3 fairly new nephews. I feel like I need to jump on this bandwagon or that I'm going to miss out on all of the fun.

Then I realize that we stay up until like 3am on the weekends, that we aren't the most organized people, that we are never home, and that we probably couldn't even keep a goldfish alive right now. The biggest part is that we like how things are going...we selfishly like our freedom at this time in our lives.

Plus, I've already made a deal with my hubby that we can't have children until he stops bringing his Nintendo DS to weddings. I don't see that happening anytime soon. Sorry Mom, you are just going to have to wait.

I wish I had baby bump pictures of my friends to show here. I am going to take some of Christen here soon...but we are waiting for her to plump up a bit. :)

To honor all of my beautiful "with child" friends, I thought I would post some baby and parent related items now so they could quickly add them to their registry. I also included a few random links and photos at the end for your enjoyment...keeping the theme though of course.

This product takes the cake for being the creepiest.

The leash. Classic.

Vampire Pacifier.

Baby Toupee.

Baby Tats. All the cool babies are doing it.

I really do like this product. Every kid is going to want the spoon head action figure. Never know...it might be made into a movie. Everything else has.

The Po-knee. Get it?

I gagged when I saw this one. You are supposed to suck the gunk out of their noses with this. No thanks!

Haha. The neck ring.

No explanation needed here.

Crash Helmet. I think it is so you and your spouse can safely use your baby to play catch.

When I was a kid you just held on for dear life. Kids are just spoiled these days!

Baby cage. I am really going to hope this product is fake.

Bacon flavored bubble blower for your kid and pet.

Onesie Mop. Genius.

So you you have a place to put them when you go pee at the grocery store.

Just in case you need help.


A few extras just for fun!

Pretty Amazing Infrared Photography

Infrared photography (filters etc) cause foliage to strongly reflect light in the same way visible light is reflected from snow. Other effects of infrared photographs include very dark skies and penetration of atmospheric haze. The dark skies, in turn, result in less infrared light in shadows and dark reflections of those skies from water, and clouds stand out strongly. -freephotoresources.com

You can read more here or just scroll down to enjoy the photos. They are pretty amazing!

Quote 2
My Mom: "I might talk to you more once you have a baby, since I would be over there every night to rock her so you and Ben could have a quiet supper. So, just to warn you (and Ben) I will be there daily!"

Me: "Daily huh? So will you cook us meals and do our laundry too? If so...I'm not opposed!"

My Mom: "Nope. I will just hold the baby. And get used to it..yes it will be D.A.I.L.Y.! Unless the baby is funny looking, then I might not be there so much!"
disclaimer: No. We are not Expecting. She just is grand baby hungry and talks about it a lot!


Quote 3
Mandy: "oh wait, i resent the hyper color shirt being on there. I had like 3 of those, and yes i was COOL. I used to wait for the dryer to stop so I could pull it out all in the "hot" color and then put it on and slowly watch it change to the "cold" color. yah I rocked!"


Quote 4
Me: What kind of music did you listen to when you were younger?

My Mom: Oh gosh..I don't know what I listened to...gogo's, rick springfield, metallica, ac/dc, madonna, michael jackson, stuff like that.

Me: You listened to Metallica? Really?!

Trust Me...You Don't Need These

The HyperColor T-shirt. Heat causes the shirt to change colors, but only in that spot. We all know which areas are going to get the warmest...do you really want to bring more attention to your very sexy armpit?

Rap Snacks? Southern Crunk BBQ? Did somebody really think this was going to be a hit?

Ha. We all know that some poor mother or grandmother bought this.

Broom Shoes.

Umbrella Shoes.

Now this little guy is a key that hooks onto the ends of your handlebars. I guess it's one way to get back at the jerk who just ran you over.

Tape Sunglasses. I would also assume it doubles as an eyebrow waxer.

This product helps you to sleep on that long bus ride home while looking incredibly trendy doing it.

At least it is antibacterial.

Self Explanatory.

Goatee Saver. Creepy.

Let those piggies breathe. Tennies to Flip Flops... just a zip away.

Create A Commie.

Leave the Corn dog smell at the State Fair.

I just giggled on this one.
