Ok, words can't express how tired I am right now but I hate not updating so this is gonna be one of those "updating for the sake of updating" deals which will undoubtedly suck but it is not as though that has stopped me before.
By the way, I haven't really slept in 2 nights. My theory is that you can be so overtired you actually screw yourself over from getting sleep. I have played in 3 soccer games in the past 2 days (2 last night) among other tedious, time consuming things, so that might have something to do with it. Who knows. But God, I'm tired. I mentioned that already? Oh.
If I had been around lately to write, I may have written about my babysitting adventure which would have included a bit about 3 year old niece Sarah. If you know anything about this age, it is that this is the age they start selling people out, more often, their parents. As we were getting ready to turn in Friday night (after watching "Vegas" which immediately followed one of her favorites "Deal or No Deal" (you babysit your way, I'll babysit mine. there was no violence or sexy-sexy. And her parents let her watch her favorite-favorite show "Jack Bauer" because she gets mad when they try to watch it without her, because you know, IT'S A SHOW FOR GROWN-UPS)), ...anyway, I would be lying if I said when she uttered the line, "My Daddy goes to sleep naked" I didn't become giddy with glee because Ha! Dirt! So I maintained my composure and nonchalantly responded with an "Oh?" in the hopes of getting her to go on a tear about Mom & Dad. She continued, "yeah, he doesn't have a shirt on and he wears pants. My mommy wears jammies."
Well, better luck next time I guess.
But she did tell me she has seen her dad's pee-pee (apparently dads do not get any privacy while trying to take a pee either) and inform me that she has an "oogie" and boys have a "pee-pee". Uh....huh. Thanks for the heads up, Sar'. Really.

I was driving around the other day and a song I've heard before but not in awhile came on and I started car dancing and started to think, "Why does this song seem significant?" and then I realized it was my Dance Off Song! Somehow I managed to improv-erly choreograph a dance off routine to Mariah Carey's "It's Like That" which, if you have ever listened to this gem, is a mere half beat faster than your standard slow song. How on God's green earth was I able incorporate among other things, dance moves from Lord of the Dance and The New Kids on the Block "Hanging Tough" video, I'll never know. Man, I'm such a talent.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Speaking of things that makes people uncomfortable, I had my mother over this weekend (not the uncomfortable part - though could be) and Mike had just purchased and set up the new DVD player. If you recall, the old one broke with the Carmen Electra lap dance video jammed into it. Sensing an opportunity to bug my mother and beau in a beautiful, clean 1-2 punch, I told my mother, "yeah, the other one broke with, of all things,...a Carmen Electra lap dance DVD stuck in it. Nice huh?" which elicited the smirk/eye roll combo and when Mike commented on the situation I added, "yeah, he's always saying my lap dance routine could use some work, so I bought the thing thinking it would help me out."
Yeah, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY, MOM!

Anyway, I leave you now with a picture of me and my other niece, Libs who is, at least as of press time anyway, unable to inform me that her parents go to bed naked.
Sarah watches 24? That is so awesome. Except, 24 often scares *me*. But I'm a big baby.

she watches "jack bauer" yeah. her dad covers her eyes on anything "scary" tho sarah is quick to point out, "dad, i'm okay, I'm okay- really dad." (this doesn't stop him from covering her eyes).
Posted by: Jen | May 09, 2006 at 04:01 PM
Libs parents do NOT go to bed naked, in fact sometimes they forget to put on their jammies and go to sleep in their work clothes.....
Posted by: Emily | May 09, 2006 at 04:32 PM
then how did Libs get here? MAGIC??
Posted by: Jen | May 09, 2006 at 04:37 PM
way to accessorize.
Posted by: stella | May 09, 2006 at 05:20 PM
Oh, good, now I don't feel so bad letting my little one sit in my lap while I watch L&O Criminal Intent and drool over Vincent D'Onofrio. Only requires eye covering at the start and during flash backs.
Posted by: Contrary | May 09, 2006 at 08:02 PM
"oogie" huh? Hmm. might be a good one to use with my girls. Right now we just call it "bottom" (I cannot, cannot do the correct terms.)
Posted by: Nancy | May 09, 2006 at 08:10 PM
One time, I told my Mom that she had to wait in the living room , so I could put the sex swing away in the bedroom.
It was priceless.
And Um, you may want to share that soon, the realization that Mama's panties are on the side of the bed the next morning MAY illicit some uncomforatble questions. Or so I've heard.

I think you may be holding the happiest baby in America.
Posted by: roo | May 09, 2006 at 10:07 PM
We don't know HOW libby got here really....we think it could be magic. She just kinda showed up! And anytime Libby's Aunties hold her she does turn into the happiest baby ever...
Posted by: Emily | May 10, 2006 at 11:02 AM
Ha! "Oogie." That's the best word I've heard for it yet.
Which leads me to suggest A Taste Of Honey's "Boogie Oogie Oogie" for your next dance-off.
Posted by: sweatpantsmom | May 10, 2006 at 03:35 PM
The Oogie should sound like "oo-gee". I think her mom has referred to it as her "oochie-coochie" and this is Sarah's adaptation of the word.

Adorable pic, luv. You're niece is cute, too...
;)
Posted by: Hill | May 11, 2006 at 11:32 AM
Look at that cutie! Oh my goodness, she is gorgeous. You too!
Posted by: halloweenlover | May 11, 2006 at 12:39 PM
Come ON, ladies, say it with me: Va-GIIIII-Na. Chris once told me he put Aquaphor on a rash on Kaitlyn's lips, so I say "oh, are they chapped?" and he says "No, (pointing down) her LIPS". GAH!
Also, I would like to nibble Libs' cheeks a little. You both look so cute!
Posted by: Elizabeth | May 11, 2006 at 01:08 PM
You are fantastically funny.
Okay I have three kids and my sister-in-law watched my oldest once. Conversation to ensue:
Daughter: What's that? (pointing to my 7 month old nephews pee-pee)
SIL: Uhhh... That's a penis.
D: Ohhh yes. Boys have penis's, girls have vaginas.
SIL: Yep.
D: But his looks weird. My dad's penis is bigger.
SIL: Okay time to go play now.
Pretty much word for word. When you have kids you have no secrets and your right, no privacy.
My daughter was 4 at the time and my husband to this day hopes that her brain has thrown that particular memory out. Needless to say, He's a never-nude.

Oogie. Love it! LOL ... Also, could Libs be any more adorable? It looks like she's trying to wolf whistle. :)
Posted by: Jess R | May 11, 2006 at 07:23 PM
Viernda - you're married to Tobias Fuke?
btw, your celeb blog will be addicting for me,
Posted by: Jen | May 12, 2006 at 10:48 AM
Parents naked can be a scarring event. Some things are best left unimagined.
Posted by: Eileen | May 12, 2006 at 10:24 PM
"jack bauer", eh? obviously, Sarah has wonderful taste in men...:)
and Libs is getting so big!! wow!
