Take Two Peek A Boo

Nora is quite the squealer when you play peek a boo with her. Yesterday afternoon she was playing with Larry, and I’m so glad I got this video of it. You can hear the dog howling in the background…feel free to ignore her like we do.

It’s sure to make anyone smile…no matter what kind of day you’ve had:

Spam Tastes Like Rap

Spammers in my comments…oh how I enjoy that. I’ve had to make it so that comments have to be approved before they’re uploaded to this site because of comment spammers. Big pain in the ass, they are. Always trying to sell me drugs, boner pills, mortgages, a dead chicken’s house.

I’ve never felt the need to comment on the comments, because I’m fairly certain that it won’t help. Also, I heard a rumor that once they’ve successfully ruined the contents of my comments they’d move on to the fridge and spoil my milk and cheese…after that the evil spam commenters will throw toys all over in my living room…dirty up all of my laundry and dishes…and impregnate my seven month old daughter. Let’s just say that they’ve already spoiled my dairy, messed up my living room, and dirtied up my laundry. So yeah, talking about them here is probably going to put Nora at risk of becoming pregnant…which will make me very rich when I sell her baby to the tabloids for a half a gazillion dollars. When I move up outta this trailer park, don’t nobody wonder why.

This comment I got spammed with was too funny not to mention. It came from yagirl NoRa. How strange…it came from someone that has almost the same name as my daughter…weird. This ‘yagirl NoRa’ has an email address of NoRaThEeXpLoRa@ghettobabies.com. Again, strange…Larry calls Nora, Nora the Explora but I’m pretty sure the spammers aren’t living in my house…unless they are the ones dirtying up my laundry. Also, Nora lives in a mobile home…but it is most certainly NOT in the ghetto. And now, for the text of the comment:

i got bibs in my crib, sweet pees with a lid
hid my eggs, scrambled
in my dads big damn sandels
the nickTOONS channel, all day every day,
flippin threw, makin poo, lovin it anyway
huggin me everyday, gettin crunk off my bottles
full throttle, i dont walk…i pimp waddle
like america’s top model but i eat a little more
tellin dora the explorer to go in the middle door
i got eggs on my head, but dont call me an egg head
legs on my head, but dont call me a leg head
so if you are eating some mushed black-eyed peas
then you might know how to pimp like me

Sweet pees with a lid? And how do they know Nora’s dad has big damn sandels? I will have to admit that the makin poo all day part is accurate. The pimp waddle? Not exactly…although she does have a rhinestone thong she wears under her diaper on special occasions.

This…this is the bullshit that gets sent to me. This is the reason for comment monitoring. And, today, this comment is the reason I peed my pants. I hope it gave you a laugh, too.

Breakfast in (Blurry) Pictures

Dear Nora,

You do not like scrambled egg yolk.

Your father and I should be ashamed of ourselves for continuing to feed egg to you just so we could get more funny pictures of you. Of course, your father and I should be more ashamed of the fact that you yell “Fuck You Tony Stewart” while giving the TV the bird. Seriously, Nora, ladies don’t flip off the TV.

Three Months Pages

Well I’m halfway caught up with Nora’s book! I’ve scrapped the first 3 1/2 months of her life and she’s 7 months old. Not bad, huh? I have decided to cut down the number of two page layouts I’m doing in hopes of getting more stuff in the book. I’d like to end up with her whole first year in one book…so instead of taking 5 pictures and doing a two page layout, I’m going to think about doing the 5 pictures on one page. More pictures and less cardstock filler, right? Of course there will be instances where a 2 page LO is necessary…

Anyhow, this is the LO for her three month old pictures. I did the journaling around each photo…really like how that turned out! I’m not sure the name of the stamp set (possibly Favorite Teddy Bear)…it’s retired, I think. I used the subtles family. The three in the wagon is supposed to be for the 3 months thing…not sure how I feel about it, but Mom and Larry both said it looks fine. I stamped the teddy bear in Amethyst ink through the middle of the pages…it’s hard to see in the picture. I used gingham ribbon…Caramel, I think. I also used two mini safety pins that Erica sent me. Nothing like getting a stabbing hazard in the mail! Seriously, I think those mini pins look perfect on baby pages!

I Made A Wish…

and you came true!

I saw that quote somewhere and thought it would be perfect for a scrapbook page title! The pictures on this page are some of my favorites of Nora. I loved this outfit and it sure got plenty of wear while it fit her. I used YoYo Yellow, Pink Passion, and Lovely Lilac. The stamp set is retired (I gotta get some new stamps). I cut out the flowers and used gold brads for the center. The journaling is written along the curve at the bottom of the pages. These two pages took a long time between cutting out flowers and getting the curves “just right”…but I am happy with the results…which as any scrapper knows is not always the way it turns out!

Comfy Girl
