I was speaking with my friend, Tab, earlier and the topic of the 50’s came up. This is a topic that’s been coming up a lot around my house lately. You see, I’ve always felt as though I was born in the wrong decade. While I adore my computer, CD player, DVD player and all that jazz, I truly feel as though I would have thrived as an adult woman in the 50’s.Things back then were so much more innocent. Yes, a lot of the same stuff happened back then and was simply not spoken about…but still. I can totally get into the whole idea of being the 50’s Mom. First of all, the clothing was amazing. I can’t even tell you how much I love the dresses from that era. I was just telling Lonnie the other night how much I wish I could wear dresses like that every single day. He said, “Do it! Just do it.” I looked at him like he’s nuts and explained that if I were to do that, people would stare at me everywhere I go…and the last thing I ever want is to be the center of attention like that. Of course, he argued with me…saying that they would be staring because I’d look beautiful…etc., but that was just Lonnie being sweet.

Anyway, in addition to the amazing attire, I could totally handle the whole routine of daily life back then. The Mom took care of the house, the kids, her husband….the husband went to work every day and then came home at night at which time the family enjoyed a freshly cooked meal together. Ahh…doesn’t that sound just lovely? I can totally see myself being SO happy back then. Wearing my pretty dress…baking cupcakes while the kids are at school, my hubby’s at work…prepping dinner while listening to Fats Domino singing about Blueberry Hill. I suppose that’s not so much different from how things are now…except for stress level of daily life is astronomically higher now than it was then. Maybe I’m wrong about that…I dunno. It just seems to me that things were so much more cut & dry back then. There weren’t all these annoying details fogging everything up.

Like I said, I would miss my computer, camera…everything. It’d probably drive me nuts after not so long at all…but it’s my daydream. I adore the whole dream of my life the way it would be back in the 1950’s.

The truth is finally out. I’ve been carrying on an affair with a young man named Willy. Mr. Waddles and I were recently seen together at a local grocery store where we were shocked to find a camera in our faces.

We can no longer hide our love for one another. I just cannot resist Willy’s charm…and bright yellow beak. Not to mention his little red scarf that totally brings out his eyes and just looks so sexy on him.

*sigh*

Oh well. All good things must come to an end. I cannot continue my affair with Mr. Waddles now that the truth has been exposed.  

I was looking through the stats for my website, as I often do, when I came across something that made me belly laugh. Apparently someone had gotten to my site by performing a Google search for the phrase “him with a strap on”.

Of course, I just had to take a screenshot of said search…

My daughter and I went to Walmart the other day to do some Mother/Daughter Bonding. There’s almost no better way to bond with your daughter than to browse the Clearance rack at Walmart. Wow…it’s full of such interesting things to talk about. Most of it is absolutely hideous, but there really are some cute things if you are willing to stand there and dig deep enough.

Well, after about 45 minutes of Clearance rack diggage, we decided that we’d take the little bit of money we had and buy something for Lonnie with it instead of ourselves. Both of us love to give and we agreed that he’d earned a special treat.

We made our way over to the men’s clothing section. As a general rule, Lonnie hates to get clothes as a gift. He prefers more…uh…oh, I don’t know. He just likes more fun items like movies, computer stuff, magazines…etc. Clothing is generally not something he gets excited over. I seem to slowly be changing that fact, though. Yay!

So anyway, my daughter and I found ourselves looking through the boxer rack in the men’s section. They have so many cool choices. Well, then I saw them:

The Almighty Mario Boxers!!!!

 Are they not the most badass $5 purchase known to man?!
