The things in my head go ’round and ’round

This is my life. You can’t have it.

At home with the Jonas Brothers

Published July 26th, 2008 in Jonas Bros, games, kids, television | 1 Comment »

We hurried up and left the beach so that we could make it home so that The Princess could watch a Miley Cyrus concert where her dream Nick Jonas would be performing with the remaining Jo Bros.

But unfortunately the Jo Bros have been a no show on the telepho-ne.

We got home with enough time to go to the store so that The Princess could buy the latest copy of The Rolling Stone, because the Jo Bros are on the front page. And to make life that much sweeter, the Brothers Jonas played at Hershey Park Friday night, and their pictures are on the front of the 2nd page.

The Princess is in nirvana.

And Sunday, the Disney Games are on. And guess who would be participating?

Come on. You can guess.

Go ahead. Come on.

Ok, I will tell you. Dream boy Nick, Cutie Pie Joe, and Jo Fro wearing Jo Bro Kevin.

So, maybe the Jo Bros are in Soho, hanging with J-lo, at the DoJo, playing Dobro, solo.

You guys gotta help me adding on to this. It is a whole lot of fun.

Namaste.

Jubilee Day is coming!!

Did you hear? Jubilee day is coming!!

What? You have never heard about Jubilee Day? Were you born in the Arctic Circle?

Jubilee Day is the largest one day carnival/eatfest/craftbuying/walkingaroundinthefewestclothespossible/sweatingmy assoffbecauseitissofreakinghot/musiclistening extravaganza in the world.

At least that is how it is marketed. Jubilee Day started as a way for local farmers could bring in their best to show off to the rest of the local farmers. A one day street county fair, if you will. Since its inception it has grown exponentially.

So if you are in the Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania area the third thursday in June, you are hereby invited to Jubilee Day 2008.

Just don’t park in front of my house. Or move the lawn chairs I have out there saving my parking space. Because that is what we do around here. We put lawn chairs in our parking spaces to save them. So that we don’t have to have your car towed for parking where we normally park. Even though it is a public street. You wouldn’t understand unless you live here.

Namaste.

I hate Candyland

Published May 1st, 2008 in Family, games, kids | No Comments »

Yes, you read that right.

I hate the game “Candyland” with a passion that I reserve for clowns. It is a game that had to have been torn, ripped from some sick individuals sick, sick, sick mind.

I talk of this demon game because of something I was reading this morning. I have a couple of writers that I read on a consistent basis, and Lindsay Ferrier of Suburban Turmoil is one of them. She wrote a piece on playing Candyland with her daughter. Brought back way too many bad memories of playing the same game with The Princess.

Candyland was the first game where The Princess learned how to cheat. I would like to think that the developers of the game didn’t have that as part of their plan, but I think that every kid has learned how to cheat playing this hideous game.

Enough of this. Just thinking about it is making my nervous.

Namaste.
