if I’m lying… may I be blown by 1000 hot Brazillian super models
Did you know that Tony Danza doesn’t have any nipples? That’s totally true, and if I’m lying… may I be blown by 1000 hot Brazillian super models.
See? Told you so. Shit… didn’t work.
I am happy to report that I have been given the green light to start running again by my chiropractor. This is a really good thing, because the inactivity has not been kind to my midsection (aka I’m getting fat as crap). Tonight (when the sun goes down so I don’t self immolate) I’m going to do a mile, and then ice my back when I get home. Hopefully I won’t die or anything.
Vivienne read for the first time last night. I am so proud of her. I went to the library at lunch and picked up a bunch of the same We Both Read books that I taught Van with and also some for Van’s reading level too. I also have a nice summer activity handout with a reading list for him from Carolyn (Bub’s former kindergarten teacher and good friend of mine) that was given to the soon to be 2nd graders at Nokomis. I can’t wait to dig into that list as well. Reading with my kids is one of the greatest things I’ve done.
I love this lyric from Open Ended by Sebadoh…
Here’s an open-ended threat to tip the balance we’ve been riding
With all this talk of honesty, I look and see who’s really hiding
Know who deserves it, who got there first
Who lied about it and made things worse
See, it don’t matter I’ve only begun to confuse you
It’s what I do
You deserve it, you got there first
I didn’t make it and that’s still hurts
I could be floating or ready to explode
If I don’t show, no one knows
The kids had peanut butter spoons after dinner and when Bubs was done with his, he shared it with Yogi. This was a hit for the Yogi and Viv apparently too…
After I got the kids to bed, I got a ton of work done last night. A couple of fixes for NitroVideo and a ton of work for some surprise requirements for the Lifecycle project (that is due for another demo tomorrow!). I finished up working around 11:30 and watched a few more episodes of Dead Like Me and sipped on a nightcap of a vodka tonic (yum).

Who knew crap was fat? Oh, and I loved Dead Like Me.
June 12th, 2008 at 9:08 am
Um yeah…on behalf of crap…it can be skinny too. Seriously. Woo hoo on the reading. My five yr old is a whizz. My eight yr old has both ADHD and dyslexia so…well…ugh…one day at a time right?

boy i can just feel the happiness, kids home and a back that is feeling better. yay1 hope the run goes well and doesn’t cause pain later.
June 12th, 2008 at 9:39 am
Here’s hoping for a very, very good run.
June 12th, 2008 at 9:43 am
Man, it’s awesome you can go running again. I know how much any extended period of time off the bike bothers me, so I have some idea how you feel.
That phone sex operators series is surprisingly interesting.
June 12th, 2008 at 9:54 am
Jazz – i think that depends on diet
Greata – girls don’t poop
lime – you are correct, this is happiness
Chris – danka
Apertome – i just hope i don’t overdo it tonight, that first time back doesn’t hurt while running, but the next day it can be a bitch

Now that’s a great day. These day are getting so perfect, I wish you could frame them to hold onto the day for a while. How are the kids dealing with the loss of your dad? I bet that’s still hard.
They are gorgeous though. Maybe being gorgeous takes some of the sting off?
How’s the Portuguese going?
June 12th, 2008 at 10:32 am
On a Limb with Claudia – bom
June 12th, 2008 at 10:36 am
Tont Danza has no brains either, yet he still walks upright. How does that work?
June 12th, 2008 at 10:38 am
meno – that’s exactly why they removed his nipples too, otherwise, he’d tip over. the nipples actually act as a counter balance for your brains.
June 12th, 2008 at 10:49 am
*throwing confetti* AWESOME for Viv on her reading!!!!
Even more awesome that you got to share that with her!!!
Btw the kids are just adorable!
Regarding Tony Danza – no nipples, no talent and I get a small penis vibe from him. How does he show his face? Especially when there are specimens such as you out there. Fo shizzle.
LOVE LOVE LOVE the phone sex operators link. GREAT stuff!!! The hair hat was…well…odd. The vacuum of space thing was interesting. I would only last 1 min 41 secs…probably because I’m practically a sloth.

unstableblogger – you just said i’m hotter than Tony Danza
fuck yes.
June 12th, 2008 at 3:31 pm
I felt a little trepidation about clicking on the link for self-immolation. And I’m not going to say a word about your thinking and making up rumors about Tony Danza’s nipples.
Not one word.
June 12th, 2008 at 4:41 pm
I wouldn’t be surprised if Tony Danza doesn’t have any nipples: I never saw him shirtless
Reading with my brother’s daughter has always been a real pleasure: I can totally relate to how you must be feeling Van.

First off, congratulations on the running. I was a runner through my teens and college years, then developed shin splints and knee problems because apparently, running 50 miles a week on concrete isn’t the greatest thing for your body. (Who knew?)
Second, Dead Like Me. GREAT SHOW! I own both seasons and just finished going through them last week.
June 12th, 2008 at 7:14 pm
Hey, congrats on the green light for the run. Let’s see…it’s 8:18 pm where you are. Hopefully you’re not face down in that lake you live by…
So, if you are. Dude…that sucks…and swallows. And hopefully someone finds you soon.
And if not. Right on. And those kids of your’s are just fricking beautiful.
Did they put the peanut butter on the roof of Yogi’s mouth?
I used to do that.
That’s one of the many reasons that I have a great seat in hell waiting for me.
June 12th, 2008 at 11:55 pm
I can literally feel the joy oozing out of your blog. I love it!
Oh, and Roger Moore had no nipples either. Don’t ask me how I know…
June 13th, 2008 at 12:43 am
Try this: Ruby Red (as in grapefruit) Smirnoff, in a vodka tonic. It’s killer, Ace.
Language and literacy development has been the most exciting part, for me, of each of my kid’s lives. Eating Cheetos has been the most exciting part, if you ask them.
June 13th, 2008 at 7:44 am
Lol, peanut butter mouths are funny!
June 13th, 2008 at 9:03 am
Franki – at least those are scientologists’ nipples
Peter – reading to a child is amazing. not only do i not get parents that don’t do it on a regular basis, but when i hear someone talk about it as though it was a chore… they just don’t get it
Kevin – i’ll most likely be there too. i’ll be by the margarita machine with Tonya Harding
Mary – wasn’t that due to a surfing accident?
Jocelyn – do you realize how cool it is that you called me Ace? I’m going to go home and dust off Kiss Alive II and play Shock Me, while i sip on that recommendation
Christy – word
June 13th, 2008 at 9:18 am
You make some cute kiddos, Van. I hear there’s an industry for that.
June 13th, 2008 at 11:51 am
Tink – true, I do have a magnificent baby maker

When we were watching Priceless, there was a scene where a well-dressed Audrey was running full tilt in heels and a scanty dress, and my friend leaned over and said, “I wonder how she can run with those shoes on?” As soon as he said it, she kicked her shoes off. So he leaned over and said “I wonder how she can run with that dress on?”, and when she continued running in the dress, “…damn.” So, nice try on the hot Brazilian models and all; better luck next time.
I am a vodka tonic girl myself. I’m going to have to try the grapefruit version now. I am also pretty fond of those made with Three Olives cherry vodka and lime.
Congrats on the reading kiddos! I’ve always read to mine too, and that they can settle down and get absorbed in a story is probably one of the things I’m gladdest about as a parent. We’re big into audiobooks in the car around here, since the drive to meet their dad on weekends is so long. Also, check out “The Read-Aloud Handbook” by Jim Trelease.
Sorry for monopolizing your comments and all.

Sounds like a great day – Viv reading, Yogi getting peanut butter … only the missing 1,001 Brazilians put a damper on it, I guess. But on the scales of life, I’d take this day whenever you can get it and twice on odd Tuesdays.
