@mamarissa I have not seen 'Australia', sadly, but maybe? :)
My Olypmic tickets arrived, I'm REALLY going! Also, I'm 2nd-guessing the wisdom of bringing a 5yo to the Closing Ceremonies.
@Childbearing Oh, my toddler just took my mind clean away, I don't think I'm finding that again.
@Nicole013 @alexishinde "Galactic Boss Lady Overlord" is a title I could totally get behind!
@EasyClothDiaper I live in Vancouver, so the Olympics are coming to my own back yard. I don't imagine I ever would've made it otherwise.
@Dou_la_la Yeah, my kid likes putting stuff in the trash, too. Also, in the toilet, which is MUCH worse. :/
Next time I have business cards made I think I'll list my title as 'Boss Lady'. It has a nice ring to it, don't you think?
@curiousdad If that is my biggest parenting mistake - telling the occasional 'white lie' - I would say I had done EXTREMELY well. ;)
@curiousdad I lie to my kids ALL THE TIME - about what that sign says, what I was just eating, what I really think about that outfit.
I've been losing things everywhere lately & I feared I was losing my mind. Then I realized my toddler is HIDING THINGS.
@curiousdad I have lots of friends who don't 'do Santa'. I do, mostly because I enjoyed him as a kid & was not traumatized in any way.
Some more people I'm grooving on: @Blacktating @Hobo_Mama @babybeatnik @bfmom @MarketingMamaMN #FF
@ParentClub That's impressive, given the vast quantity of stuff at Costco . On a related note, will you need help eating all that mayo? ;)
The mutual admiration society, made up of some truly cool kids: @Dou_la_la @cfoutz @FeministBreeder @babyrabies @TopHat8855 @MarfGirl #FF
@prairiemama Oh dear. I can understand why that would NOT be cool at all. :(
@leftwingedmama Maybe it means that there will be lots of good things, like metaphorical pearls?
@jstrocel Yeah, there is actually what you might call a very light dusting on our patio now. :(
@Blacktating Thanks so much for your vote! Now we just have to wait until Monday - oh, the suspense.
@laurahana I am seeing snow here, but it's not what I would call impressive. More like teeny tiny balls of ice.
In which I become excessively sentimental about my children's boots: http://www.strocel.com/these-b...
@porridgebrain Enjoy the reindeer! I'm not sure I've seen any in real life myself, I would be rather excited as well.
I am so, so relieved that there isn't snow on the ground this morning. I am now doing a 'Snow Stay Away' dance in my PJs.
@earnestgirl In that case, it's probably a good thing we live in Vancouver, where we can whine as soon as the temperature drops below 0.

These Boots Were Made for Walkin’ - http://www.strocel.com/these-b...
I think I'm sort of tired of winter, & it hasn't even officially started yet. Because I am all rugged & stoic that way.
It's amazing how appealing Twitter is when I have work that I don't want to do. Also, dusting & organizing my sock drawer.
Me! Me! RT @ThetaMom: I find myself staying up later and later most nights b/c of the peace and quiet. Anyone else with me on this one?
@bfmom @tea4tamara Thanks for the tweets on my felting tutorial. :)
