Let's just suppose we can speak French, shall we? Then, let's watch this charmant little video by MadMoiZelle and pretend we can understand MOST of what she is telling us about Parisian fashion.

BFJ, she said. Boyfriend jacket...you fool. I know! Honestly, that is a direct translation. I do not know why her hair appears to be a wig when she removes her hat. Voila!

I am home today. Sort of. I am supposed to be taking Youngest for his asthma treatment injections even though we await Snowpocalypse! Yes, hundreds of feet of snow are expected to drop upon my part of the world and the nurse called me several times yesterday to cancel/re-schedule/cancel/schedule again his appointment over the course of the day. Very heavy snow! Trains being canceled! Consult your manager and consider working from home!
Middle has been walking around doing his newscaster voice: we are all going to die! It is liken unto the snows of hell! We shall perish in the snow! He's been epically funny.

In other news, I am suffering from acute Winteritis. My skin is itchy, I'm tired of wearing my puffy coat... aren't you glad you dropped by?

It's all House Hunters and Bang For Your Buck over here. Our cable company has restored our channels and all is (apparently) forgiven. I find it interesting that many of the houses on House Hunters are empty. I cannot imagine leaving our house empty and moving all of our things to another house without selling it first. But, now that I think about it, I'll bet House Hunters is shot the day after a house is sold and the day before the new owners move in. Last night, whilst watching HH, I realized that K and I can afford a palace in Mobile Alabama. I'm not sure what we could do for a living in Alabama, but I'm thinking the residents of Mobile never have to deal with Snowmageddon.
Who else is on HGTV? Heather Armstrong. I don't have to link, do I?

I love these Old El Paso commercials -



the kid is the hero! (He's a cutie too.)
Aren't I so INTERNATIONAL today?

Check out what I was posting about a year ago. I tend to find myself absolutely RIVETING in the archives.




That's the special movie you get to see only once - when you have a brand new computer and turn it on for the first time. It's like a new-car smell that lasts for a couple of minutes.



And that? That is the transfusion of data from my old iBook. I always think it looks very medical when we are switching things from one computer to another or onto a hard-drive.



Here's Middle rocking the hoodie, the fitted cap and the schmancy earphones he bought. I rode the train with him last night and sat across from him. And who was sitting next to me? Elbows McGinty, who frantically searched his shopping bag and backpack for Very Important Items.
And what was Middle listening to, with his incredible headphones?

A New Favorite:



Yes, 100 Million Dollars is our new (ironic) favorite. We like it because just about every possible rap video cliche is included PLUS the somewhat random inclusion of: Navy Seals, old school fan boats, lots of red cars and fireworks. It's the War and Peace of rap videos!
And how could I not like a guy named Birdman?
I
ask
you.
