Doing Dishes in Mom Jeans

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

Dylan may participate in the Email Wars but I have been on the front line of the Dishes Wars for quite some time now.  There was a heavy blow to my defense recently.  The dishwasher, along with some of my resolve, broke last week.  For a little while my post-it stating, “If you leave dishes in the sink a monster will eat you!” kept the kitchen clear but in time everyone realized I was, in fact, bluffing and no monster would prey on them.  As a final desperate plea, while I waited for the repair man, I sent out an email to the team begging for mercy from the suds.

I hope some of you can understand my pain.

SNL Nostalgia – Sarah Palin + Hillary Clinton

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

I got an email from my sister with a link to this SNL skit w/ Tina Fey playing Sarah Palin and another SNL actress playing Clinton. I thought it was worth blogging because Saturday Night Live was the source of so much of my sister and my shared humor Middle School through High School – Dana Carvey, Chris Farley, Mike Myers – now, that I have 2 kids, I’m in bed by 10:30pm most nights, and I’m now consuming this hilarious content on YouTube and NBC’s site (this is the first time I’ve ever used an NBC widget below – let’s hope it’s as functional as YouTube). BTW – I just Googled “FLIRG” and it’s pretty damn funny. Watch the video.

Check out the video clip if you aren’t one of the 10 million views across the hundreds of copies of the video clip online. Couldn’t get the NBC video widget to work on the blog, so I had to revert to faithful YouTube below.
