holiday cheer
I asked O what I should blog about and after we got past the “I don’t know what your even talking about, blogs” like I was talking to some ninety year old woman who says the word “blogs” with such utter disdain and sheer resentment for what the world has come to… sheesh you are four.
anyway we agreed I should write about funny stuff that happened over the holiday break. My funny compared to her funny may be a little different but she had a good idea mentioning our Christmas Elf – Flounder.
My kids got the shaft, actually it was just O because Flounder had been around longer than W. I was walking around Marshalls and saw this sorry looking Elf on the Shelf knock off brand and figured “who cares what it looks like, right?” Little did I know it was going to blow up into this huge Christmas tradition that everyone talks about. I feel bad because Flounder is so ugly, and a bit scary looking but I am scared the girls will freak out if I try to upgrade to the normal commercial Elves that everybody else has.
The girls LOVE Flounder though and they are SO into Elf on the shelf. Grandmom babysat a few days before Christmas. I started getting frantic texts the girls were both hysterically crying she had accidentally knocked Flounder off the door frame and then TOUCHED HIM OMG.
I had to hide in an office and make the shape of the heart with my hands and text it back to O so she knew that code meant Flounder would still have enough Christmas magic to get back to Santa.
I also ran out of “secret candy” the girls didn’t know about and started using some from our own stash and they were PISSED. O was like Flounder is a thief!
Effing Flounder has it rough man. I get so annoyed with the shit I have to make Flounder do then clean up that I really lame out on his mischief. Our Elf is really laid back and typically very considerate of my time and energy.
Other random funny shit.
Chris hiding on the ceiling then waiting patiently for me to walk in the bathroom to scare the hell out of me for no reason at all. I don’t know how long he had to wait. Weirdo.
O using her birthday makeup to make W look like a hooker.

screening
Way back in October we had the official screening and launch party for Redmonton. It was so awesome.
C and I had a MAJOR addiction to Entourage, watching episodes (or three) a night. It gave such insight to the upper crust of the industry, I assume it was accurate. Isn’t all tv accurate? And everything on the internet for that matter? Except we all know Web MD is fraudulent, meant to terrorize, but I digress. It doesn’t really even matter if Entourage was accurate because it was super entertaining. Ari and his wife are so so so hilarious, he totally reminded me of C minus the belligerent mouth. Really the whole cast grew on me. I even felt bad for Drama.
Anyways I wasn’t sure what to expect for the screening – I knew there was going to be a Q&A and we were going to watch the first two episodes. I was so nervous! You don’t get to see playback usually when your filming because everyone is so rushed to get done what has to be done. Plus we were always burning the midnight oil which put me wayyyy out of my element, often driving home 1,2 one time 4:00 in the morning on a Friday or Saturday night. It was an amazing experience to spend that much time in front of the camera.
The screening was awesome. It was so Entourage. There was a red carpet and even one of those legit looking back drops and photographers. The irony was my friend R (you know who you are) had just told me we should make a bunch of our own backdrops and just take pictures of ourselves all dolled up like we get around. Not like “get around” in the normal dirty highschool girl slang, but “get around” like party. Like Industry. Ha. Too bad I’m a total not partier and typically hit the hay around 9:30 on a late night. So lame. So the unparty.
Redmonton has released approximately an episode every other week. The show has a website, youtube and vimeo channel. I force C to watch the episodes in the family room on the big TV like we’re really watching a movie. He humors me of course.
Hi Mom I’m on TV! Hehehehe. I couldn’t stop myself.
Here’s a clip below, I liked this clip it has all the girls in the cast in this scene.
swiper
W has evolved overnight. She went from fragmented sentences to elaborate pretend play in like the blink of an eye. Her new favorite past time besides literally torturing the dogs by dragging them around the house on leashes and tying them to door knobs, is enacting scenes from the tv shows she watches. Right now she is swiper everything.
She will tell me to say “swiper, no swiping. swiper, no swiping.” then she will use this game as a valid excuse to launch something of value that I am currently doing across the room.
While I was hanging clothes in my closet she pulled shoes of my shoe rack and screamed “YOU’LL NEVER FIND THEM NOW” and threw them out of the closet. Thanks for that. This game sucks.
She threw my toothbrush in the bathtub the other night.
She takes the decorative wooden balls off the top of the dogs bed and throws them on the floor probably hoping I slip on them.
This is hilarious on so many levels. W playing swiper with Nika and then screaming at Lady to Be QUIET. Then W running for her life when Lady starts barking at the door, and poor Nika. Poor, poor Nika.
