the bambino can sit up!
our little benjamin is not only sitting up straight but now starting to crawl.
and yes, that froggy comes with the overalls!

cindy's choice
well that would undoubtedly be my hubs but let's say hypothetically that i were single.
in that case, my boy of the month would joel mchale. who, you ask?
if you're asking such a question, you're not privvy to the best show on tv. i'm obsessed with E's "The Soup" -
best damn show to air since 30 rock. but this is just so you can sit on your couch and feel stupid, but still feel better knowing that there are people way more stupid than you could every try to be.
here are some bloopers from youtube, but you can download episodes online.

Heath Ledger - boy of the month
of the occasional celebrity that pops by Azaleas, few of them are ever boys. and few of them take my breath away. when you live in ny as long as i have, you learn to play it cool.
heath rolled in here one day (literally on his skateboard). we conversed about gustavo, the shop dog, while michelle was trying on stuff. man, he was sweet and gentle and playing with our pup! well, that about sums up my experience with him. did i just waste 1 minute of your time?
nonetheless, our heart goes out to his family. especially with all the paparazzi surrounding their homes. at the same time, i'm guilty of feeding that frenzy. my morning news consists of watching "the insider" rather than cnn.

boy and oh boy
we like talented boys. no matter the age.
why did i have to take piano lessons for 10 years? i can't even play anything by heart.

oh football, how i love thee...
Not!
it's more like
oh football, how i abhor thee! let me count the ways...
-the biggest mistake i made after getting married was throwing out our 2nd tv. i figured it'll help out with the QT, but boy, was i wrong. Sunday (all-day) & Monday (all-night) TV is hogged by my football-obsessed husband. Forget about relaxing and catching up on all my latest tv shows. And God forbid we have plans on Sunday or a Monday - my tv shows still have to wait until the tivo'd games have been seen. and we're lucky to live in a 1 bedroom in Manhattan, but that doesn't mean that going to the bedroom will drown out the sportcaster or the occasional yelling at the tv. Like that helps!
-and even during our regular QT tv-viewing, Pete's still fingering the mouse to check live stats rolling in for Fantasty Football.
-what about those late-night homo-erotic text messaging with his Fantasy Football league? it's like their own community of teasing, flirting, d**k slapping and hating/loving on each other's plays and playahs. tres strange.
-by the way, not wearing my ring today was totally by coincidence!

Happy V Day - Pt III
so this is what i got the other night from my boyfriend. one of six cards (he's a graphic designer) that i get to redeem. we do this every year. before you go, AWWW... please realize, this ISN'T for Valentine's Day. It's a month-too-late birthday present. this is what happens when you date a guy for too long - less appreciation.
well, you won't really get this on your own - ever - so i'll explain.
"kochu" means p*nis in korean, hence the fallic bullets in the top right corner.
sometime ago, in some publication, we'd read that some culture uses some form of circumsiced foreskin as a luxury facial product. hence the GROSS!!! on the bottom right corner.
but now it's a joke between us that anytime i go to buy facial products or makeup, that i'm buying baby kochus. Guys just don't understand why these products have to be so pricey, and frankly neither do i.
so anyway, this is redeemable for a shopping spree at sephora.
Now i gotta grab leslie from beautydean.com (another plug) and ask her to take me makeup shopping! yay!
Happy V Day - Pt I
for all you saps out there, my roomie got this from her boyfriend as part of many gifts for V Day , which includes panties from Azaleas. (smart guy!)
i'll attempt to transcribe below...
Dear Catherine,
you are my lovely "sweet tarts" "sugar babies"
you are one "hot tamales" and "extra" special to me.
you are worth "100 grand" in my book. so on this
valentine's day, you'll "skor" like it's "payday" and "after eight"
we will "whatchamacallit" all the way to the "milky way"
so my dear "lifesavers" break me off a piece of the "kitkat"
and let me take you on my white horse to "5th avenue" and we will
have "mounds" of fun on this special day. being with you is a
beautiful "symphony." "kisses" and "kisses" and boy they are "good and plenty"
i love u.
gotta give him points for the hard work, chocolates/candies, and the creativity. but really, do i need to know about the "whatchamacallit" all the way to the "milky way"? keep that to yourselves...such dirty language!

why oh why?
my girlfriend's bachelorette party was this past saturday. i reluctantly agreed to go to hunkmania at the bride's request to watch a bunch of muscled, greased-up (most likely gay) strippers put on a "show." (we'll get to the "show" part in a bit)
i decided to buy advanced tickets so i wouldn't have to pay the extra $5 at the door. so you can imagine how PO'd i was when i got there and the lady bouncer tells me "hon, you bought tix for a different show". different show? what could she be talking about? i had the receipt right there for saturday night, 9 pm show (for me AND my 2 girlfriends)
this is when i find out that new york city is fortunate enough to have 2 majorly competing male dance revue shows. One called Hunkmania (which i'd purchased tix for) and Hunk-O-Mania. what is this nonsense? now i gotta deal with my credit card company and try to get my money back
i can't really tell you all that happened in there cuz the guys made us promise what happens at Hunk-o-mania, STAYS at Hunk-o-mania.
but i'll tell you this
a)the whole thing's a scam; they make up all sorts of excuses to get money out of you.
b)the "show" starts off with them doing a lame rendition of "Grease Lightening." Like i need to see a bunch of gay jersey boys live out their broadway fantasies. (too mean?)
but c) it was worth watching my friends get tossed around and then some.
Unfortunately you can't take pictures but here's the link to see all the men for Hunk-O-Mania
and for HunkMania.
i think this guy was my fave but it was REALLY DARK in there.
