Unrelated Facts

If there is a box on the ground, I can guarantee that this will happen:


Mommy, I want to go on a trip. Tape me up!

My hair is our vacuum cleaner's kryptonite. My hair manged to jam it up so much that it busted some belt thingy and we had to order a new part. I don't know if I'm embarrassed or proud.

All of this was pulled from the brush thingy...ewwww

There is nothing funnier than a pantless toddler trying to walk in huge shoes.

See, my feet ARE small!

Sure I've lost more games than I can count, but that doesn't take away from my pleasure of finally doing this:

Hahaha suck it!
That's right, I beat Kari at Words with Friends. Victory is so sweet.


Trying to drink hot coffee (not me, my husband) while watching TV with a toddler can result in this:

Rice fixes everything
I'm never brave enough to drink hot beverages around Faith, but she usually gives my husband some space when he has coffee on the weekends (other than her burning desire to blow on the coffee for him and telling him "HOT!" repeatedly). Don't worry, a day in the rice made the remote work again. I am a miracle worker.


I often think stroller running should be getting easier (acclimation and all), and I often blame pregnancy for how hard running with the stroller can feel. Here's a more reasonable explanation of why I remember stroller running being easier when I first got the BOB:

Holy growing child!

Since this was a post of randomness, here's a random question to finish it up:

Who would win in a fight, a caveman or astronaut? Neither side is armed. I have my money on the caveman because he would fight dirty.

  2. It would depend on the arena. The caveman would win if there were no weapons in the arena. If there were weapons, the astronaut would crush him.

  3. You're going to need a double stroller soon.

    I had no idea what the remote in the rice meant until you explained it. Genius, I am not.

    What came in that box?

    You must shed worse than Rocco. Holy moly.

    And the caveman would totally win. They have to fight for their food. Taking an astronaut down would be a piece of cake, unless of course the astronaut is skilled in cage fighting or has taken classes in killing aliens. This is assuming the caveman isn't stronger than an alien. Throw an alien in the arena. I want to know who would win of all three.

    1. We got a space heater for the basement (that explains the box)

      Rice sucks out moisture, so if you get your phone wet that can fix it.

      Most astronauts are former (or still in) military so I think they should know how to fight.

  4. By "brush thingy" do you mean "my hair brush"? that's grody.
    If the fight is in space, I vote astronaut. easy.

    1. By "brush thingy" I mean the brush part of the vacuum that turns as you push it :)

  5. Your vacuum is screwed when all your hair starts falling out post-pregnancy (when does it end!?). And I have a way more important fight I've been pondering for years: polar bear vs wolverine. We argue about that on a regular basis.

    1. Polar bear, hands down. Bam.

    2. omg! Wolverine all the way. He has the ability to self heal!

      and Go Blue!

      Delete

    3. Tonight we watched a polar bear try to take down an adult walrus. It failed, and probably starved thereafter. In the polar bear's defense, it was probably outweighed by 500-1000 pounds.

      Delete

    4. I say wolverine because it'd take the polar bear down at the knee caps before the bear knew what hit it. My husband says I'm clearly a moron.

  6. Boxes are absolutely the most fun thing ever for children and pets. My mom wrapped up a big cardboard box filled with those Styrofoam peanuts for my brother one year at Christmas and he loved it.

    Also-caveman. Absolutely.

    1. I can't even imagine the mess a toddler could make with a box full of styrofoam peanuts!

  7. Totally caveman. They beat up lions and stuff.

  8. Those are your gigantic shoes, aren't they... you can admit it. You have giant feet, and you shave your forearms. Everybody has their cross to bear. Except Chuck Norris. Because nobody crosses him.

    1. 8 points for the Chuck Norris joke.

  9. Hair is the only reason I have to clean my house ever. Dog hair, cat hair, my hair, daughter's hair. I just can't win. I unclog my vacuum monthly.

    Caveman for sure.

    1. I only really clean for hair too. When dog hair is visible in the corners, it's time to vacuum.

      Delete

  10. My hair has broken 2 vacuums so far. My husband wears gloves and uses a knife to clean the vacuum. I can't even blame a dog since we don't have one yet.

    I think the astronaut would win since they have extra special alien fighting training.

    1. If we had a long haired dog, I would totally blame the dog.

  11. Caveman.

    You don't give your vacuum a monthly trim? Doesn't everyone do that? You know, flip it over and cut the hair off the brushy thing...come on, everyone does that, right?

    1. Apparently I NEED to be doing that haha

    3. I never had to do this until my wife moved in with me.

      Of course, I never vacuumed until then either.

      Delete

  12. Totally caveman. And polar bear.

    Are you sure that's not Peanut's hair?

    1. Some of it is Peanut's hair, but it's my hair that gets wrapped around and jams it!

      Delete

  13. Look at how much Faith has grown! Doesn't Superman have super strong hair like that? Be proud, be proud, consider patenting it. Nice job beating Kari btw.

  14. We bought a new patio set and the box that all the chairs came in is Cameron favourite place to play in the garage - he LOVES running in and wants you to keep closing the flaps so he can bust out of them like a surprise birthday cake - cutest thing ever.

    Our tub drain gets disgustingly clogged with my hair to the point that it looks like an animal met its demise in there. I always make hubs clean it out for good measure.

  15. I really need to take my vacuum to the shop. I think there's like an entire Bungee in there.

    You get one win. That's it!

    ReplyDelete

  16. Caveman of course. He fights for his life.

    Omg, I totally have the same problem with hair and vacuums. I don't know how I'm not bald yet.

  17. We actually had a really intense, drunken debate one time about who would win a fight between a pirate and an astronaut (not just me and Eric, a big group of people). Aren't astronauts just, like, the smartest scientists though? Nerds who succeeded in their career? I'd go caveman.

    I put my phone in rice after it fell in the sewer but apparently more than 24 hours of being submerged was too much and the phone never woke up. Can't Jeff use a travel mug? That's how I'd play it.

  18. Beating up an astronaut? So easy a caveman could do it...

    ReplyDelete

  19. My hair always jams up our vacuum. I have to cut it out of the spinny thing (technical term). I don't know how people run with strollers. It's so hard! I am always very impressed with those who do it:) My vote is for caveman for sure!

    ReplyDelete

  20. Cavemen. It's like fighting chicks in a bar. Whoever has the crazy will win.

  21. Caveman. They survived without AC.
