Okay but I am CONVINCED that you would LOVE The Amazing Race if you just gave it a chance. It has challenges and stuff like Survivor but in foreign countries! Where they actually interact with the locals, and not in some fake feast/party thing, either! And the alliances are just as stupid!

Which is to say, I love that damn show.

What? No flan? And the Amazing Race is awesome! If you like Survivor, you'll like TAR. Listen to Badger, she knows of what she speaks.

What? No flan? And listen to Badger. TAR is awesome. You'd love it.

Only one thing on your list surprises me: I had you pegged for a flan lover. No? Suddenly I see you in a whole new light...

The rest of this list I could've written for you.

--erica,

My phrase of the day will now be "rue the day".

I don't use that one enough.

I have seen camo pants on one of your boys in your archives somewhere ...I'm sure of it.

Truly shocked about the flan.

PS. Isn't attachment parenting cuddling your children when they need you, kissing them when they cry, breastfeeding them if you can and in short, doing what most people do when they have a child? I think you do that ...

Well, this is where our lives go on the fork in the road.

I do:

minivans - by necessity, not choice
camping
granola bars
soccer
camouflage clothing
attachment parenting - a mistake, i want my bed back

The rest are forbidden in my world.

Goodness, why not attachment parenting?? What's wrong with treating children with respect, showing lots of open affection and preferring reasoning and good boundaries to physical discipline??
Cats, on the other hand.....

There are a lot of things on your list that we don't do over here, either. Ex.) Nascar, country music, and tailgating.

We DO, however, do cats, granola bars, and bird feeders. Oh, and I have a pair of camo shorts that I love.

As the header says, say la vee...

I'm with you on everything but the Lands End and the mini-van, although my spouse does indulge in tailgating. Yargh.
