Item # 2 is one of my biggest pet peeves. I don’t know what it is about Chicagoans, but they leave their lights up FOREVER! On Sunday (as in January 31!) we drove by a house that not only had their lights still up and on, but I could also see their fully decorated lit tree in their living room along with a huge Santa sitting on their TV cabinet. Enough already!!!

Found you through SFTC. Just giving some bloggy love. I’m not the only girl in my family, but the hubs has taught me a thing or two about farts…and burping. It’s so freeing.

#1 I am now following you on Twitter. I will hopefully remember to show an awesome side to Twitter amongst other planned stuff on Sunday.

#2 I think the outside decorations are down here. One of my neighbours handles that.

#3 Thanks for the shoutout. Perhaps you could shave his belly with a rusty razor.. or is that a bit too far?

Cher! Why does it bother you so when other people choose to treat their lawn as if it were out of the pages of a Christmas Story…even weeks after Christmas? No big deal. Sure, it’s good for a snarky little comment and a giggle while driving by with the family, but other than that, no biggie. Oh shoot that reminds me, I think my wreath became one with my front door – not sure if I took it down…I’ll go check now…

As for a cheeky six year old, here’s what I have to say: 1) Don’t ever let the little bugger know that he’s getting to you. Ever. 2) Take a couple of deep breaths and say to yourself, ‘this, too, shall pass’. Remember, with kids, everything’s a phase.

See you soon!

As you so expertly pointed out to me yesterday on my blog: Pee on his toothbrush. Problem solved.

take tips from Lynne, the one from Real Housewives of OC, she has so REALLLL good advice for ya….NOT.

My parents would banish me to my room, and bring me a piece of toast and a cup of tea for dinner…..i felt imprisoned. and i’d cry and give sad puppy eyes…and then i never did it again.

i use twitter to read the news, check traffic, and read reviews, also to stalk celebs…

You are still way ahead of me in the twitter arena. I just don’t think I’m going to do it, but good for your for trying it! Let me know how it works out, k??

NO FREAKING JOKE about the xmas lights. Really? You still need them up? At the end of January? I don’t believe it. You’re freaking lazy. Take care of it immediately.

Wish I had advice, but this is not within my realm of knowledge. Yet.

I have no idea what to do with a cheeky 6 yr old. My kids are friggin out of control.

If my neighbors still had their Christmas stuff out I’d probably remove if myself. Big no-no.
