so I have this new theory

I have a lot of theories.

But my latest has to do with why people have more than one child.

It's an idea that is very similar to people with a gadget addiction. No matter what, you can get the latest greatest thing and there is always something better out 2, 4, 6 months later. Better strollers, bottles, diapers, etc.

I am a one child parent. And I like it that way; I would be completely overwhelmed and not a happy person with more than one child but I do love a baby and I love the latest and greatest. So the best way to keep this under control is to have friends with multiple children. That way you can buy the good stuff and see it used and babysit the new-born and get your fix without the horrors of pregnancy, birth, sleepless nights and sore boobs.

btw. I am not a fan of pregnancy as it did not serve me well; I am the mom of a 1 1/2 pound preemie. To help support preemies and their parents please sponsor us!!!

weird things my iPod does.

Disclaimer: I listen to a lot of cheesy historical romance audiobooks, hence some of the titles are a little ....

I recently had to replace the hard drive on my iBook. While I luckily did not loose too much information it now does some wonky things when it synchs. It matches album covers to book titles. These are some of my recent favourites:

Affair = NIN, With Teeth

Heartbreaker = The Killers

I Thee Wed = Pussycat Dolls

Manhunt = Jagged Little Pill

Mischief = Robbie Williams

Murder List = So This Is Goodbye

Mystique = Amy Winehouse

Slightly Shady = Blur

this and that

1. Invented a new cocktail today: "Out of olives or lemon and craving a vodka martini? Just add a splash of limocello. The Liquitwist!"

2. Made linguini from scratch today. Haven't done that in ages and really feel sad because it is totally worth the effort (which is minimal really).

3. Put the "chiller" in the freezer in order to make home-made ice cream tomorrow.

4. Brownies should only be eaten when accompanied by XOCO CAVA Italian Hazelnut Ice Cream. Seriously.

5. Have resolved to actually use the exercise bike this week. Only three days left.

6. Loving Human Target. I don't care. Mock away.

7. I also loved the The A Team movie.

8. Seven boys and ZERO girls have RSVP'd for Charlotte's Birthday party. Good thing we didn't go with a princess theme.
