Hola Papacito

Our future VP?


Telemundo all the way, baby!

I come across little snippets in books, blog entries, conversations, etc. that strike me as profound or funny or just really stupid. I read this one today at www.VPilf.com (yes, that is VPilf, like MILF, referring to the sexy Mrs. Sarah Palin):

"Is it just me or is she crazy hot. I heard Mccain is goint to hire Hugh Hefners girlfriends to be the Joint chiefs of staff and his whole cabinent is going to be made up of female Telemundo Journalists. And every time he enters a room they have to say "Hola Poppy" in-sync. I'm really starting to like Mccain." (all spelling and grammatical errors are courtesy of the original author, btw)

It struck me as hilarious, but I guess it is only funny if you ever watch Latin American t.v.

Crocs

One of the worst fashion faux pas in recent history is the Croc, or any of the knock-off brand look-a-likes. Seeing children in Crocs isn't too painful; in fact I don't really give it much thought. However, seeing grown men in this fashion blunder called Crocs is excruciating.

At my last visit to the beach grown man after grown man walked past me wearing these obnoxiously hideous shoes, or carried them in their hand while their other hand caressed their honey. I wondered if their girlfriends were embarrassed and asked them to remove the shoes, or if they really thought that it was ok to be seen in public like this. And the colors that these men chose, my God. Black, white and navy blue Crocs are bad enough, but day-glow green, bright orange, sunshine yellow,and, and, and, HOT PINK? We all know I am not some uber-cool fashion hipster chick who only wears cutting-edge clothes straight off of the Paris runway, but c'mon, man, what is wrong with you? Common sense should tell you that Crocs are just plain WRONG.

I want to say that this fashion trend is so,...... je ne sais quois.......so, gay. But even the gayest of my gay friends would not be caught dead in hot pink Crocs. Ew.

Please, gentlemen, do us all a favor and end this ridiculous debacle right here, right now.

For Megan and Ivy

May you be blessed with an easy transition
from mother of two to mother of three.
May you be changed
in all the ways you hope to be changed.

May your body open easily
and then heal.
May the messengers who surround you
guide you through what's coming.
May you know joy
in bringing another soul to the world.

May every first in your new life
and your new daughter's life
shine as brightly as this candle does today.

We love you, Megan, and we are all sending lots of love and light your way. The candles burn strong to help give you strength. I can't wait to meet your beautiful baby girl!
