how much time have i spent on this?!

I'm messing around on my blog behind the scenes page and it tells me i've posted 61 blogs (this will be 62) WHAAAAAAT?! there has got to be a mistake this means i have spent on average 61 hours of the past 10 months, probably more, writing on this thing. CRAZY!

Question is...who has actually read all 61 posts?!

Fabulous cupcake or gold star will be provided to that person

a cultural day



The other day was"Harlem Week"...or i guess it was week, but we went for a day of it. Same old street fair stuff except it was like the mecca of fried food and vats of lemonade and iced tea. One booth i walked by, Brooklyn Soul, claimed "Best soul food south of the Canadian border". No we didn't try any (snap), but i did/J needed an awkward picture of me standing in front of the sign drinking my togo container of lemonade (seriously, so big i could hardly get my hand around it).

Ps: don't you think that's a big claim to stake and dude a shout out to the Canadian's!!!

this is how lessons are learned

E is currently being potty trained. 97% of the time we make it to the potty, the 3% failure...our fault we don't get her there in time or we don't believe her when she has to pee for the 5th time in 30 minutes. For a 2 year old underpants are the ultimate reward for going pee pee in the potty. Hello Kitty, princesses and the plain colours all get the "aren't my underpants so pretty" and "don't i look so beautiful in my underpants".

Yesterday while getting ready to go out I ask E to put on her underpants and she kept refusing.
E. please put your underpants on
(screaming at me) My bum hurts. I'm NOT putting them on.
Come here and let me check.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...MY BUM HUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRTTTSSSSS
If you don't let me check, i can't fix it

While screaming NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO she proceeds to ball up her underpants, stick them between her checks, and put them in her face in which we got the
EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW scream and they were thrown on the ground. YUCKY

How could i not crack up sooooooooo hard and say between fits of laughter, that's where poo poo comes out what do you expect it to smell like? giggle giggle.

really good ad campaign or reality?

I am royally confused and am wishing i had taken a picture to try and better explain what i saw. Walking down Cannal street there was a poster on a telephone booth (yes they still exist) advertising a new beverage called "Tru Blood". The caption said, "All Flavor, No Bite".

I guess this can be explained in two ways.

1) there is a new HBO show about Vampires called "Trueblood" which starts in September...or at least this is what the internet is telling me.

2) there is a new drink on the market called "Tru Blood" it's for the humans who like to drink blood and be like vampires. After some research i learned it's synthetic, but seriously, GROSS!!!

I'm 98% sure it's all connected, but it's such good advertising for this blood drink, which is meant to be had with alcohol, AND has a website and commercials with no links to the HBO show. Check it out and let me know what you guys think. Has anyone else seen this? Kinda makes my skin crawl.

this guy makes me want to hurl!
