1) I went a few days without posting a picture of Miss Scarlette and then y’all were all “we want baby pictures!” The issue is now that she is on the move, it’s harder difficult impossible to get her to sit still for our daily photoshoot.
2) Amazon.com is giving away $2 in free MP3 credits if you tweet about the promotion. They do this every so often and I try to wait for them so that I don’t ever have to pay for music. Have I mentioned that I am really cheap?
3) I experienced my first Pinterest fail this week. I tried a recipe that adds cream cheese to sausage balls. Despite their incredibly unfortunate name, I really love sausage balls. I also really love cream cheese. This seemed like a win. They were disgusting. Pinterest has let me down and I feel so empty inside. Mostly because I’m starving.
4) Speaking of Pinterest, you know how the big trend on there right now is to have one sparkly painted fingernail? I was so ahead of that trend. Last week I picked up a bottle of silver glitter nail polish because I saw it on Pinterest, even though it totally made me reminiscent of the seventh grade, and I started painting my nails. I painted exactly one pinkie nail before Scarlette was all “COME GET ME OUT OF MY CRIB RIGHT THIS INSTANT WOMAN!” and then I promptly forgot that I had been painting my nails. I walked around with one sparkly fingernail for a week before someone was like “is there a reason you only have one fingernail painted?” You can call me a trendsetter, thankyouverymuch.
5) I have discovered that the meaning of slang words have changed since I was a teenager listening to Masta P in Laura Anne’s bedroom. I know. Take a minute to picture that. Apparently, I need to stop telling people that I am “bout it, bout it” because it no longer means that I am “being gangsta and keeping it real” which has always been a very accurate description of me. Anyone who knows me can tell you how gangsta I am. I’m always like “Oh crumb, this stuff is getting real.”
So if a youngster asks you what you did today and you reply “I went to the dry cleaners. That’s right. I’m bout it, bout it” because you think you are hilarious, what you will learn is that kids these days don’t listen to Masta P and that also? I have been inadvertently telling people that I am, what they call, “a loose girl.” And also, they don’t think you are funny. Kids these days.
