Also happy to report that Savannah has peed and pooped in the potty quite a few times lately. She * * * I swear I just jinxed myself! As I was typing JUST THEN she came in and said, "I pee pee." Which she did. I hadn't put a diaper on her as she had just peed in the potty 10 minutes ago. Well, I guess I can't really blame her. She was sitting on the USC beanbag. I'm just surprised she didn't poop.

Yea potty! Yea Lost!
Just wanted to say that I am happy "Lost" is back tonight. I really enjoy this show, even though it can be creepy at times. For those of you who watched the recap episode last night, Through the Looking Glass, did you see the ad featuring Sawyer? The theme music was "Bad to the Bone." I likes me some Sawyer! And the ad for Locke was fun, too. His theme music was Patsy Cline's "Crazy"...

A+ for Bee Movie
We took Savannah to her first "real" movie this weekend and she did real well! We were kinda bored and decided to go the the $1 movies. This way if she was too rowdy, we could leave and it wouldn't be a big deal. So we watched the "Bee Movie" and it was pretty cute. I'm sure it helped that it was animated. We enjoyed a Friday night out as a family all for the low, low price of $12 ($4. 50 admission and $ 7.50 for popcorn and drink). I'd say that was a deal!

What the...?
OK- I don't think "What the f*** Fridays" should be reserved for photos only. For example....
If you have kids you are, of course, regularly submitted to watching children's TV shows. Gone are the days of Tom & Jerry, Smurfs, and Scooby Doo (without Scrappy). I know they are still on Boomerang, but that's not the point...
I had heard of "Yo Gabba Gabba," but had never seen it until today. Oh. Ma. Gah. What the f***?!?! First of all, the host, I'll call him Mr. Gabba Gabba is clearly a rejct from the 90's group Dee-Lite (remember "Groove is in the Heart" and Lady Miss Keir?)
The costumed characters are just sad and weird. The striped one, Brobee, definately rode the short bus home today. The show itself is kinda hip and has cool colors, but it's like Sesame Street, Romper Room and Teletubbies in rehab. The guest star today was Biz Markie!! ("Oh baby youuuu, got what I neeeed...") Savannah looked at me and said "I want that boy to stop."
And then there's this animated part called "Moochie and Pootie." Really? A Character called Pootie? And that whole part too closely resembles Japanamation for me.
Have I mentioned the music? Some of it is kinda catchy and fun, but most of it sounds like it was written on a cocktail napkin and recorded with a Cassio 110 or whatever that electronic keyboard was that everyone got/wanted for Christmas in 1988.
No matter what I think of it, I guess the most important thing is that kids like it. And dog-gone-it if Savannah wasn't sitting there taking it all in.

Idol/gym chat...
Well, today deserved more than just a Wordless Wednesday...
First of all I want to say "thank you," to American Idol for once again, making SC look like a bunch of back-woods A-holes. For example, the charming Josh Rosen who said after getting rejected, "They ain't gonna had the best astist-es!" You sure told them! And of course there was the rousing medley of "When He Cheats (or whatever)." Nice. Truely, I say, "thank you," because with advertisements for the South like that, maybe some of the Yankees* and other half-backs will decide to stay home! (*discalimer- I can say that b/c I married one!)
The next thing I wanted to mention is the class I took tonight. Steve has been a regular member of the gym for a while so I thought I would try it. Not b/c it was a resolution or anything, but b/c my pal Jenn is going, too. So tongiht's class is called "Zumba" - not sure if it is specific to this gym or what - and it's like latin dance class on crack. For an hour we shimmied our shoulders, rolled our hips, hopped in circles, wagged our ass and did all sorts of salsa/mambo/cha-cha moves to crazy latin/hip-hop music. I sweated my butt off and it was actually fun. I've always enjoyed dancing so it seems like a good fit for me. Now if I can just go on a regular basis....they do have childcare so that is good. I'll keep you posted....
