I'm 80% Female 40% Normal and 28 years old

The big news of the week (drum roll please) is Bug's new potty habits! Woohoo! Bug's been in undies (it's Spongebob today) since Wednesday and only had one accident which was during the night and pretty much to be expected. We are so pleased that it's finally clicked for him. Wednesday morning I had him watch me throw all of his remaining diapers and pull-ups into the trash. He protested, but it wasn't long before I heard him tinkling away in the toilet.
I even started calling around to preschools on Thursday since everything is starting to fill up. We haven't made any decisions yet, but I have narrowed it down to a select few. I'm so happy to have only one child in diapers again!

The more fun stuff I promised

Jokes:
A preacher is buying a parrot.
"Are you sure it doesn't scream, yell, or swear?" asked the preacher.
"Oh absolutely. It's a religious parrot," the storekeeper assures him.
"Do you see those strings on his legs? When you pull the right one, he recites the lord's prayer, and when you pull on the left he recites the 23rd Psalm."
"Wonderful!" says the preacher, "but what happens if you pull both strings?"
"I fall off my perch, you stupid fool!" screeched the parrot.

The English Language

Have you ever wondered why foreigners have trouble with the English Language?

Let's face it
English is a stupid language.
There is no egg in the eggplant
No ham in the hamburger
And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
English muffins were not invented in England
French fries were not invented in France.

We sometimes take English for granted
But if we examine its paradoxes we find that
Quicksand takes you down slowly
Boxing rings are square
And a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

If writers write, how come fingers don't fing.
If the plural of tooth is teeth
Shouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth
If the teacher taught,
Why didn't the preacher praught.

If a vegetarian eats vegetables
What the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
Why do people recite at a play
Yet play at a recital?
Park on driveways and
Drive on parkways

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy
Of a language where a house can burn up as
It burns down
And in which you fill in a form
By filling it out
And a bell is only heard once it goes!

English was invented by people, not computers
And it reflects the creativity of the human race
(Which of course isn't a race at all)

That is why
When the stars are out they are visible
But when the lights are out they are invisible
And why it is that when I wind up my watch
It starts
But when I wind up this observation,
It ends.

Monday, Monday...

So Friday I meant to add more fun quiz things, but I got completely sidetracked and forgot all about it. Maybe I'll add some more later after I babble on for a while.

The weekend, as always, was too short. Saturday Mikey took his karate class (he's looking like a natural). He says he's not feeling as worn out at the end of them any more which is great since he was so worried about it in the beginning.

The big event for us this weekend was going to a Rapids game. With the urging of my brother we decided to buy season tickets (well half season). Funny thing is my brother and his family are buying a house now so he backed out of the whole soccer season ticket experience.
The game was at 7pm and it had been snowing that day. We decided, being the Colorado family that we are, that we'd just bundle up and make the best of it.
It was 36 degrees.
It was still snowing.
We made it to half time, but had to call it quits due to the frozen state of our bodies. (The Rapids were down 0-2 anyway.) I'm hoping that the next game (mid-May) will be a bit warmer, I think the kids will enjoy watching the game more when they're not so worried about frozen fingers and toes.

Sunday (and here's our weight update) Mikey stepped on the scale to reveal a 5.5 lb weight loss (I knew last week was a fluke)! I also lost weight (2.5 lbs) & I reached my 10% weight loss. -If you're not Weight Watchers savvy, it's the first big milestone, and for me it meant losing 16lbs! Woohoo!- Reaching this goal, I decided it was time I treated myself to a --well a treat. I had the brilliant idea of trying out one of those spray on tans. I've been seeing ads for places in all the weekly advertising mail and thought, "Why not?" So Sunday I did.
I'm not completely convinced... I am definitely more tan (Mikey said he'd have to get used to seeing me with color since I haven't had a tan the whole time we've been together), but I'm also a bit blotchy... I'm supposed to go back again today, something about building up the base... hopefully I can figure out how to smooth the stuff on a bit more evenly. In the meantime, parts of me look nicely tanned... and other parts look a bit like I have dirt caked on. We'll see after tonight, I'm leaving the verdict until then...
