Embellished Truth & Polite Fiction

Ohmygosh I’m so excited I’m gonna throw up!!!!

Okay, just kidding.

But I really am excited.

You see, MxPx is going to have a new album out soon!! It’s set to hit stores on March 24th and it’s titled ‘On The Cover II’. Yes, it’s a cover album with lots of awesome songs and totally rad guest performers! MxPx is like.. well, they’re like my favorite band.. and have been ever since Audio Adrenaline called it quits on me *cry* (it’s okay guys.. I’ll forgive you.. I guess.). Anyway, I’ll stop boring you and let you check them out yourself.

Here’s a video announcement about their upcoming album (you’ll be seeing more of these over the next month.. cause I’m annoying like that.. WATHC THEM!):

And, because it is Favorite Music Friday.. I will also give you this.. This is the song I will be singing when they come to Des Moines (and they better come to Des Moines!!):

I really, really wanted to blog today. But had no idea what to post. So you get this. You’re welcome.

Okay, that was kind of a lie.. I had something to post, but it got vetoed by my lurvly laptop which did not want to play nice with my camera. My husband can get them to cooperate (because he’s just a genius, that one..), but when I get them together.. well, they’re just all kinds of stupid. So I gave up. Sorry. I’ll post it another day. After I can pry my little minions off the main computer and dump my camera on there. So there.

Some randoms for you:

“Mom?”
“Yes Torrin..”
“Do you know why I like blood?”
“Um…. no, why?”
“Because it’s red.”
“Oh…. Okay.”

pbbbpppfffttt
“Did you toot Ellie?”
“No, I farted.”
“Oh, I see. Is it stinky?”
“No, I’m a girl.”
“So girl farts don’t stink?”
“No, it was a pretty fart.”
“I see. So do boy farts stink?”
“Yes. But I a girl.”
“Yes you are. So your fart was pretty?”
“It was beautiful.”
“Yes, Ellie. Your farts are beautiful.”

“I’m going to wait until I need to poop.. so that I can make room in my stomach. Then I’m going to have some lunch.”
“You already had lunch, Kieran. You ate a bagel and cream cheese.”
“Oh. That’s right. Then I’ll have some breakfast.”
“You already had breakfast too.”
“I did?”
“Yes, you had a waffle.”
“Oh… I am such a dork!”

**************************************************************
So, my camera broke. I had a Canon PowerShot S2 IS. It was nice. I was very happy with it. We had lots of good times together.. *sniff* I’m sad.

The Problem.

Notice how the lense is extended? Yeah. It won’t go back in. Is stuck. Is broken. In the past, every time we’ve replaced a digital camera, we’ve upgraded. Sadly, not the case this time. It broke probably over a month ago.. Long enough that I don’t remember. The kids swiped it (a regular occurrence round these parts..) and.. well.. they broked it.

This time? We didn’t have money for a big fancy camera. And, after a few weeks without one *cry*, we decided to get a stand-in camera until my awesome husband can buy me a fancy new one (I may or may not have one picked out already.. oh hai Canon Rebel XSi DSLR.. *drool*). I am now the proud owner of a Canon PowerShot 790 Elph.

The Solution.

That Wordless Wednesday post down there?? I took that picture the day I got my new camera. Pretty good no? I thought so. That happy face? Yeah.. Torrin was excited about the camera too. My kids are all a bunch of show offs.. and if a camera comes out, all we hear is ‘Take mah pitchur, take mah pitchur!‘ So yeah, no camera = no fun.

I swear, she’s not as psycho as she looks..

So there you go.. That’s about all I got today.. I promise I’ll try harder next time….. Or maybe not. And now, I’m going to go do something mature… like dishes. Or not.
