It’s Friday, a day synonymous with going out, or– if you’re a teacher or a parent – with falling asleep in front of the TV by nine o’clock. Before you fall asleep, feel free to hop around to some of my recent writing around the web.
Pregnant Woman or Vegas Tourist looks at the similarities between these two creatures. Here’s one:
Both pregnant women and Vegas tourists … have been known to vomit in public.

Dinner Is Like Eating with the Addams Family, my lastest humor column for The Calgary Herald, was published last Thursday. Here’s an except:
There is nothing like barbecued hamburgers, unless you’re a vegetarian or a cow. I went through that no-meat phase a decade or two ago, until my iron levels dipped lower than Greece’s current credit rating.

Are your plans this weekend more in line with
the Addams Family or a Vegas tourist?
“Do it like you’re chopping the head off a human you don’t like”—She’s going to be a great zombie hunter.
Best comment ever.
Ha! Ten on the dismount. And I thought the bizarre feeding practices of the young were limited to toddlerhood! WRONG!
She was wriggling so much yesterday, but she and the chair fell sideways.
Meh. My hubs is going away for an entire week to China, leaving me alone at home with my 2 youngins. So, there will be no Vegas partying for me. Not even on St. Patrick’s Day. The most fun I have planned is taking them to see the Lorax. Woo-hoo!! Par-tay.
Not so fun. But will you get some good presents?
We are going to dinner and the theatre in Rosebud tonight! No children! One of the ADVANTAGES to a 15 yr old is that he can babysit the 10 yr old. If they are both still alive when we get home it is declared a success. No questions asked. It’s safer that way.
I can’t wait to get to that stage. Except my oldest child is older by two minutes…
You make me feel better about falling asleep on the couch at 9:00 on weekends.
Plus, I’m a teacher AND a parent. So I’m giving myself the go-ahead at 8:30 tonight.
Cheers!
Yes. Sleep.
Gaaah! I wish there were a LOVE instead of a LIKE button.
Your column on The Addams Dinner family is hysterical. What are the “RULES” on reblogging with a post from The Calgary Herald?
Tweeting it out now. Still laughing. Still wiping tears from my eyes.
Sigh. I don’t think so. I originally wrote that post as a blog then saved it for my column. Thanks for the bloggy love, Gloria!
Vivian – William’s minimom – loving that description!
It’s a gratifying and terrifying day when the kids learn how to use “weapons.”
I must say 5x each week, “You’re not his mom, Vivian.”
