What to do, what to do.
Here's the thing.
A couple of months ago I was on a recon mission over to Dooce's blog to see what she's up to. And she had posted this video of a sleepwalking dog from YouTube.
And I've been dying to post it for your weekend LOL Video but I kept thinking if I literally copied Dooce?????? I might spontaneously combust or have my blog license revoked or maybe get one of those bizarre cases of hiccups that doesn't go away for 2 years.
I mean, as you know she is my arch-rival and nemesis. Even though she doesn't know I exist. It would be like Jennifer Aniston adopting a black child from Ethiopia.
Ah, screw it.
I give you: Bizkit the Sleepwalking Dog.

I Think My Personal Trainer Is Broken
OK. A few weeks ago I said to myself, "Self? It's time to lose the baby weight." and my self said, "You mean since the baby's in second grade?" and I said "Yes."
So I narrowed it down to three options.
#1 Wii Fit.
#2 Ab Roller.
#3 Darrell
Hold your comments.
So he tells me I need to come in first for an "FMS" and I say 'What is that: Fat Mom Situation?' and he says, No, Functional Movement Screen.
So I go in and he says, "Yeah, I've seen you in better shape."
And I think briefly of saying that FMS could also mean Foot Meets Scrotum but decide against it.
But I persevere because I am awesome and a trooper. At the second session he says, "Lie on your belly" and I say "My stomach?" and he says "That's not a stomach yet."
Dude. Could a girl get some euphemisms up in here? : "We're gonna do some fine tuning"...."We're gonna take your fitness to the next level"......??????
I'm thinking a little less marine boot camp, a little more...

Why I'd Make a Sucky Stripper
So Facebook, in its never-ending quest to not leave me alone, suggested tonight that I try the "Stripper Name Generator".
So I did, and was dubbed "Jewel Tightpassion". Which to me sounds more like a Disney Pixie Hollow fairy name.
If I really was a stripper I would pick like "Foxy Patron" (pa-trone', after the Tequila, but I can't get my keyboard to make the spanish accent mark over the 'o', which is lame - it'll only do THIS 'ø', which is really more Nordic and not stripper-y at all.)
Where was I. Oh yeah. So a kick-ass name is about as far as I get because then I'm all "Hell no I'm not wearing those shoes" because all I ever wear is flip-flops and who wants to see a stripper flap-flap-flappin' down the runway in flip-flops..

(is there a runway? Maybe I'm thinking of America's Next Top Model. Maybe it's just a stage and a pole - either way- you know when you're upside down on the pole that those flip-flops are falling off).
And I'd be picking songs that aren't good at all to strip to like "The Bird" by Morris Day & The Time.

(O-wee-o-wee-o.)
Plus the buffet would totally sideline me because they'd be all: "Foxy- you're on next" and I'd be all: "I can't. I'm all bloated from eating ziti."
And I'd be fired anyway for saying "maybe later" to lap dance requests, because GOD that's a lot of effort and I never was an "extra credit" kinda girl.
Plus something about my swine flu mask "scaring the customers".

Busted.
My 8-year-old outed me on Mother's Day. To my husband. About my Twilight blog.
Christ on a cracker - can't second graders keep anything on the DL anymore?
OK, so I was a little less than forthcoming with my husband about my "other blog". But in my defense, he barely reads this blog and as we know he can't even get the title right.
Plus I'm already pushing it with Flat Edward and Action Figure Edward, so "Don't Ask- Don't Tell" seemed like the way to go regarding online tributes to obsessions with other men.
So here's how it went down.
I self-gifted myself a laptop for Mother's Day, which I opened with much fanfare and faux-surprise Sunday morning.
Husband: I set it up so your blog is your homepage.
8 y.o.: You should do her other blog too!
Me: I LOVE this card!!
Husband: What "other blog"?
Me: Who wants cinnamon rolls??
8 y.o.: "Inappropriate Twilight Obsession"!
Husband: You have a Twilight Obsession blog????????
Me: it's not really a BLOG...it's more updates on the filming of New Moon and casting news......
8 y.o.: Mommy wrote a post about the color of Robert Pattinson's eyes.
Me: OK. That's not necessary.
Note to self. 8 year olds make sucky confidantes.
Inappropriate Twilight Obsession:
"For Those Who Shouldn't Be Obsessed With Twilight. But Are."

Weekly News: Fail Edition
Holy crap- where to start.
It's been a great week in "Fail" news. Let's start with - oh, I don't know, - the Executive branch of the government.
SENSITIVITY FAIL

"So here's the plan. We're gonna take a huge jet, followed by 2 fighter jets, and have it fly low around lower Manhattan, specifically the financial district and the Statue of Liberty."
"You mean Ground Zero?"
"Exactly."
REASSURANCE FAIL

In answer to his thoughts on Swine Flu, Joe Biden declares that he would "tell all my family not to use planes, trains or automobiles." Not sure how you get Swine Flu in your own car, but the economy really appreciates your input, Joe.
AMBASSADOR SELECTION FAIL
In related news, the National Ski Injury Association has declared that "staying in the lodge" is the the number one way to prevent ski injury or fatality.
On Tuesday, a bunch of Somali pirates headed toward a large ship intending to overtake it and and realize too late- Oh Snap- it's the French Navy. They were promptly apprehended.
Yesterday, über-hottie Megan Fox declared "Boys in their twenties are a waste of time. They have nothing to offer conversationally; they’re immature." Way to alienate half your fan base, Megan. No one's Googling you because of your thespian abilities.
Joe the Plumber was quoted Wednesday as saying that he believes same-sex marriage should be determined by state, and that he has "several homosexual friends". But he wouldn't, you know, "let them near my children."
AMBASSADOR SELECTION FAIL
Bristol Palin was on The Today Show yesterday, apparently in her new role as Spokesperson Against Teen Pregnancy. Says Palin, "Abstinence is the only 100% foolproof method of not getting pregnant."
