I still haven't fallen back

Monday, 30 October 2006 Comments »

Still tired and still posting like that drunk guy on the corner who shouts at you as you walk by…

oprah_winfrey.jpgI do not watch Oprah. She gives me the hives. But I just read this and, ew. Apparently she gave everyone in her audience $1,000 gift cards. Wait for it… But you have to give the money away.

Hell, I'm all for charity. But being all puppet-master-y this way is really irritating.

You're going to open your hearts, you're going to be really creative, and you're going to spend it all at once on one stranger or spend a dollar on every person…

Or what, Oprah? Or what? "EVERYBODY GETS A GUILT TRIP!!! EVERYBODY GETS A GUILT TRIP!!!!" I sure as hell am not going to look under my seat.

Holy Crap I'm getting old. I need a nightgown so those times I have to get up in the night for a crying kid I am reasonably covered up. Yeah, my oldest is 4.5 and has never noticed, but I think those days are numbered.

Did you know that Target has not one single nightgown? Your choices are either hooker PJs or old lady PJs. Crikey mate, that's not going to work for me!

Do you have a nightgown you like? Share — what is it? Where did you get it? Does it make you look or feel like your mother? Does your spouse like it? DOES IT COME IN PURPLE??! Help me help me!

And best for last, One Chic Mama had a son — stop by and say congratulations! She looks great, too. Duh :)

    Well, each of them can INSIST that the person (or persons) that they give the money too fall all over themselves and cry in some public manner. That's what Oprah asks of her grantees. Can't you just see her producer, "Um, could you cry a little harder and face the camera a little more?"

    I'm going to admit right here and now in front of the world that I often go into my kids' rooms at night to help them back to sleep while I'm TOTALLY NAKED! Ew. Gross TMI check. Don't you hate when you're fooling around with that male who helped you have kids in the first place … um, what's his name who needs to take a number to get your demanding kid-monopolized attention … yeah, that guy … so you're fooling around and one of the kids wakes up. It's like they have sex-dar or something. Anyway … you could get some classy black 100 percent silk matching jammies from Macy's and never wear them like me. Naked at night, scaring my kids with my uncalled for nudity … yep. That's me.

    Hey Kim, HAHA! I'll leave my night attire to the internet's imagination, but let's just say it is… not the image I'm looking to have ;)
