jake & the keychain

(yes, i know i need an iphone, shaddyupyerface)

so.  one day, jake and i were playing with legos and i told him i wanted
to get one of the lego keychains.
he goes into the toy room and starts digging through this
massive pile of legos.  we dug for about 15 minutes and kept
pulling out different keychains.   'marla', he said 'you can have
one of my lego keychains' and then he'd find one and say
'but not this one'.  and then we kept digging, and find more
and he'd say 'but not this one either'.  i thought
he wanted to keep them all and was just being too nice to say anything.

he finally found one i could have,
but i said i would go buy my own. 
he wanted me to have his keychain
and he wasn't taking no for an answer.
and that was the end of that.

so now, i have a r2d2 lego keychain.

he might be bigger, but he can't fool me.
he still has those baby blue eyes that make
me want to hold him and rock him forever...
but i refrain.  because i'm trying to
be the cool, laid back aunt. 
plus it would be
weird & awkward and his
parents might call the police.

the end.

you may now call me 'published'

the 'unabridged' version.
Look, I'm a huge fan of your magazine.  It's my favorite, and I really look forward to reading up on all the fun gossip.  However, I am disappointed by the cover that will be shortly coming out on the Vampire Diaries.  This magazine goes into a lot of homes with people who have children.  I'm all about looking at attractive people, but when you pull up the new cover for EW at work and have to cover your screen because it looks like porn, then you might have a problem.  I know I did.  Next time - cover up a bit more (sheets don't count).  Modest is Hottest.

if ian somerhaulder calls me about this letter, i am going to die. 

no wait, i won't.  i will say modest is the hottest... and then tell him to send me an autographed picture with him fully clothed. and then i'll invite him over for hot chocolate.  and we will get married, have a few babies, and not allow our children to parade around in sheets for a magazine. 

the end.

Jana's 130th baby shower

Jana is due ANY. DAY. NOW.  Baby girl needs to come out and play.  ANY.DAY.NOW.  I know Jana is a bit more impatient than me to have this baby for some reason... ;)

Here are a few pics from her lovely shower at claudia's house. 

sisters - minus one
emily was probably hiding in the closet.
she's shy.
treat bags. 
filled with random stuff.
probably more appropriate for 10 year olds, but whatever.
red velvet cake
and cupcakes.
please notice the humongous pot
of soup in the background.
let's just say claudia's soup is
amazing.
grandma 'sota & chloe
(eva calls grandma k, grandma sota - short for minnesota)
she really wasn't crabby -- she was
a perfect angel at the shower.
this one, on the other hand, ran over to the
candy dish and grabbed some hershey kisses
and ran away faster than you can say chocolate.
i caught her in the act -- so her face is pretty priceless.

GOOD LUCK JANA! I HOPE THAT BABY
SLIDES RIGHT  ON OUT.

Quote from the shower:
Can I just spray a little PAM down there
right before the baby comes out?
-Amy Poehler, on Baby Mama

random picture blog

new trend -- cat breading.  makes me laugh.
and i don't even like cats.
a delayed valentine. 
dear emma, why do you love me so much?
i don't deserve you.
warning -- when ordering bubble wrap, one must
specify how much one wants.
