Laura

My husband's chest hair is not really blue.

About Me

At the risk of sounding dorky, I'm thrilled to be married to the best DH in the world.

My Interests

The genius son, the best FH in the world, the retard dogs.

I'd like to meet:

Jemaine and Bret, and Cesar Millan or a robot version of him. Since we have obviously ruined our dogs.

Music:

Spoon, Walking Concert, Matt Pond PA, Clap Your Hands, Fountains of Wayne, The Shins, Old 97's, Elliot Smith, Neutral Milk Hotel, The Beatles, Jeff Buckley, Rufus Wainwright, New Pornographers, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Pixies, pretty much any rocker named Ben, Freedy Johnston, etc. I'm lame. Take my iPod and give me something new.

Movies:

Millions, Garden State (sigh), but also Jesus' Son, Fight Club, Best in Show, Rushmore, Bottle Rocket, Royal Tennenbaums (I'd drink Wes Anderson's bath water), Donnie Darko (ditto on Jake Gyllenhal), Ghost World, Amores Perros, Happy, Texas, Walking & Talking (double ditto Catherine Keener), Memento, Snatch, Office Space (my boyfriend is a genius) , Swingers, Coen Brothers, anything with Will Farrell, Eternal Sunshine etc., and Kill Bill Vol. 2. The end just gets me. Hey, and also, ..aries rule. Did YOU run 115 miles today across Death Valley?

Television:

Flight of the Conchords. And four times a year, I also watch Lost.

Books:

For some reason these days I'm into BritChickLit. It's lame, I know...but I also like anything by Chuck Palahniuk, anything by David Sedaris, most by David Foster Wallace, Mysteries of Pittsburgh, House of Leaves, Murakami, Jesus' Son, anything depressing and mostly it has to be set in the United States in this day and age to hold my interest.

Heroes:

Your mom and robots everywhere

Come play!

Tomorrow we are going to Schlitterbahn. I take my son every year after the last day of school as a way of saying, "Hey, good job. Thanks for not totally mucking it up and/or biting any kids. You rock....

Dr. Dentist

So, about a month and a half, maybe two months ago, I chipped my tooth. No big deal, it was one of the back ones. And so I ignored it (like you do) but then it started to hurt so bad I couldn't sleep...

Notes from Pit Bull Land

Wow, I haven't done this in a while. Here's what's up. Since my last blog, I found a little house that had great bones and a pool (which I have dreamed about since I was 6 and made pools for my b...

House hunting

I have wanted to buy a house for a long time. I had made it my goal for my birthday (a couple of years back) and never got motivated enough to actually get preapproved and find a real estate agent and...

Just so you know?

I get real cranky when my friends are out having fun when I'm hard at work. Especially when I SEVERELY want to quit my job and have struggled twice during the day not to cry (AND just so you know, I'm...

I believe that ample parking is our future.

So, as all of you people with chirrens know, school started today. School for my son means homework for me. Not only do I have to deal with the meltdowns he has over *actual* homework, but also there'...

Wardrobe Malfunction Or Big Brown Nip

Anyone who knows me is dialed in to the fact that I have a fondness for the Old 97's that borders on obsessiveness. I appreciate all kinds of music, and I DO have other favorites, but I always come ba...
