December 18 09

Since it’s been all whine mixed with kvetch around here lately, blah blah blah my children are monsters who ruined my house, I figured I would finally get to the tits list I promised… ALSO, since many of you asked about the TITS. It originated here, when I stole it from the lovely FADKOG. and then there was a second installment. and then a third. So, while I has absolutely nothing to do with actual boobies or anything, the name stays…

Jersey Shore text fest Thursday with some lovely snarky, snarky people. Chill out, Freckles McGee…

Nights when my kids have no homework.

The ELEVEN boxes of cookie dough out in the freezer.

The coat I bought for $40 on ebay.

Rediscovering music I love but haven’t listened to in far too long. White Lips Kissed by MEW? awesome. Forlorn by Sunna? yes please.

Cereal for dinner. and lunch. Crunch Berries. even though they totally destroy the roof of my mouth and then I end up tongueing it for the rest of the day.

Making ridiculous videos for Heather. Because I can. YAY. new laptop has built-in camera (I know, the 21st century told me sent me a “welcome to this century, alimartell text this week). Please to excuse my horrific lack of make-up, my inability to balance a laptop on my knees, and my hair that I swear does NOT have a bumpit underneath that poof.

Giant cheetos.

That my friend Anissa is MAGIC. She is just magic.

Anthropologie and J.Crew catalogs. There is just something about leafing through an actual catalog that totally beats surfing a store’s website and braving the holiday shopping crowd.

Following-through on a punishment, even if it resulted in us having to leave Isabella’s school Hanukah party early because she cried until he puked. BUT, not before I got to see my tuition money in action:

Watching West Wing episodes.

Having random Yiddish words and phrases in my lexicon

Smelling like Shauna Glenn.

National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. A Christmas Story, Elf, The Muppet Christmas Carol and Love Actually in my future. Top 5 best holiday movies. HANDS DOWN.

Cetaphil for my ridiculously dry face.

Hospital room Glee dance parties.

Unexpected packages showing up from her containing things including this

this

Already falling in love with the characters I am writing about. BUT…anyone want to help me with the name of a small town? I can’t think of anything that isn’t super cliche.

Isabella finally being able to buckle herself into her carseat.

When Clay on One Tree Hill takes his shirt off.

THIS.

Rain boots for Indiana so he will actually go outside when it rains and stopping crapping on the living room rug.

Christmas music, except for that fucking “Simply Having a Wonderful Christmastime song” because, seriously, Paul McCartney? NOT COOL.

Being able to give away a $100 Visa gift card. There are only 31 comments right now. Why haven’t YOU entered??!?!?

  3. Why is it called a “tits” list? Seems like false advertising to me.

  5. I have an interior design site and I am interested in purchasing a link on your website. Your site looks great and I would love to be part of your blogroll. Or, if you prefer we could exchange links.

    If this is possible, could you let me know how much you would charge for a basic text link. My site is located at http://www.genuinestyle.net.

    Thank you for your time, I look forward to hearing back from you.

  6. Is that the Sephora philosophy hot cocoa stuff? I asked for that for Christmas, and I bought the cinnamon buns stuff when I was in Vegas. I love it.

    I think I may have to write my own tits list, too.

  10. Oops! Tits list: Phoenix album Wolfgang Amadeus. This year it will be our soundtrack to Christmas 2009-even the kids are singing it. Oh and the song Baby Baby Baby because its way too funny to hear a 2 year old sing French verses, and who knows what they mean, probably sexual. Jackson calling his Dad, DUD, where do they get this stuff.

  11. I can’t watch the vids yet because no earphones and Josh is really into Survivor right now. I can’t enter the damn Toms/Visa contest because I’m Canadian – DAMN YOU! And I do love TOMS. Love. Also love your list. Love that you called Anissa “magic.”

  12. Um, how is “Things I Like” not TIL? What important “T” word did I miss?

    Comment by Fragrant Liar on December 19, 2009
  13. You totally forgot The Ref. “Caroline, why don’t you eat something?” “Lloyd, why don’t you eat ME?” Best. Christmas. Movie. EVER.

  14. What is the name of the perfume???? My husband will shop for me on the 24th, right before the stores close, so you have a day or two to give me the name 🙂 PS…love the post and would donate the gift card to Anissa if I won!

  15. I want a tshirt that reads “Chill out, Freckles McGee” on the front. I’d totally wear it while gettin’ mah fitness on, yo.

    Confession – I may be the only person on the planet who does not hate that Paul McCartney Christmas song. I honestly think it is the tits. Tiny tits, but tits none the less.

    So is hearing my husband referring to me as ‘my wife’ while on the phone with a service rep this morning. Small things like that.

  16. I have no idea what a tits list is and I’m terrified to google it after the Horrifying Bukkake Incident in which I learned the true value of Google Safe Search. So, uh… what’s the deal?

  18. I and also my pals were looking through the best things on your website while unexpectedly I had a horrible feeling I never thanked the web site owner for them. All the boys became consequently joyful to read all of them and already have really been having fun with these things. Many thanks for really being so accommodating as well as for opting for such quality issues most people are really desirous to understand about. Our own honest apologies for not expressing appreciation to you sooner.
