Let me just say, last night's episode of Mod Fam was hilarious. I didn't watch last week's episode yet, and usually I like to watch them in order, but I just love that show and couldn't not watch last night. Everyone had their doubts at first, but I think I've convinced about 10 people to start watching since I saw the first commercial for the pilot. That's it. I'm watching again after I finish writing!
Jarod has made his triumphant return to Facebook.... hahaha. Anyone who knows him, knows he can hardly open a web browser. It took a very long time to teach him how to use Skype, and the only reason he really learned was so he could show me Minnesota the first summer that we dated (trying to get me to come.) and to try and learn how to multi-task in his garage. I'm interested to see why he's on, what he plans on doing while he's on, and how often he plans on being on...does he even know what he's doing on here? haha I'll let you know. I don't want this to turn into one of those "Vi Pham" tasks where I act as secretary and personal assistant. As much as he praises me for that role, I don't need another thankless/payless job added to my roster. Gotta gimme some pay, Mister!
It looks like he might actually read my blog instead of having me read it to him. Really, it is about our lives, and usually about the conversations we have, so I guess he isn't missing out on much. Much love to my honey bear! I know he enjoys reading my writing as much as he loves hearing them over the phone.
I have successfully worn the same outfit all week... I have taken showers, but I also have not left the house since Saturday. Sad and weird? Yes. But the weather is terrible, and there is no reason for me to change out of something I'm comfy in. Steve from Blues Clues never changed his outfit. But I heard he got some flake for that after some kids refused to change their clothes because "Steve doesn't."
Sam, as of late, is most comparable to a puppy. He spends countless hours pushing a ball around the house as he crawls around, exploring every nook and cranny of the house. He has also taken quite a liking to playing with that door stopper thing that looks like a spring. The other day, I let him play with it for maybe 15 minutes. He loved it. The only difference is, I don't have to walk him outside in this weather. I think it's actually frowned upon to walk your kid outside when it's raining.
He and I have a favorite show on Nick Jr. It's quite good. The Fresh Beat Band combines popular music beats with a kid friendly message that is pretty awesome. There's also a little break dancing kid that actually is on a lot of rap music vids. Fresh Beat Band must be his day job. I was trying to find a video on youtube of Sam's favorite song on the show. It's called Great Day. This is the best I could find (and no, I didn't make it myself, I found it like this!):
I joined this online message board community about kids. I joined because I thought I had to in order to read an article (I was wrong), and don't really use it at all, but I got an e-mail about baby proofing your house. I was a little confused about one thing. They were talking about using baby gates. One mom commented that she likes to put a gate in front of the stairs, just in case her kid learns to climb out of their crib, they might fall down the stairs.... Really? If your kid is climbing out of their crib and opening the bedroom door, do you think a gate is going to stop them from rolling down your stairs? Most likely, you: 1. Have a lot more to worry about or 2. Your kid is smart enough not to roll down the stairs and probably will walk over to your room and open your door to wake you up. While I see why there is concern, I don't think she really thought the whole thing through.
In other news....
Jarod's team is currently 3-1 in the series and has another game on Friday in Hamilton, Ontario. We're really hoping for a win right now! The sooner this series is over, the sooner the next series begins, and the sooner Jarod can come home! I'm working on a plane ticket for the championship series, but Jarod just smiles at me (through Skype) and says, "We'll see." Obvi afraid of the curse. He must really love me to marry me! I'm seriously his worst luck charm. haha. Actually, I think I did pretty good his senior year of college. He had the best season of his career, finished school with honors, and he signed with The Minnesota Wild...I mean, I did get pregnant that year, but I still blame Jarod for that little hang up. I guess that all didn't do so much with luck as just being supportive for him.
For anyone that doesn't know me very well, this bad luck thing isn't just a joke. I lost all my luck after that time in Edinburgh. I used to be very lucky.
DISCLAIMER: I am also tagging Jarod in this post purely for selfish reasons. I want more followers and obvi need to find a way to reach out. haha. New readers =Yayy! I try to be fun, and I have very bad punctuation, spelling and grammar. I don't read over anything. And I usually don't think very hard about what I want to say. Hope you like!... which reminds me... Avid Readers: if you like, tell your friends! Copy and paste the URL: www.thephalmers.blogspot.com I love it when people know my business! The more I know people are reading, the more I'll post.
Did You Know: If you'd like to kill a cat, feed it raw egg whites. It's a bit morbid, cruel, and evil, I know. But I guess you could see this as "If you want to keep your cat alive, don't feed it raw egg whites." There's an enzyme in them that blocks something or another in the cat's metabolism mechanisms, then they can't produce ATP. When this happens, they can't make energy and then will die. Never let my little sister around cats and egg whites. Thank you Erik Olsen for this science lesson!
