Whenever someone complains about Phoenix being hot someone always says "But it's a dry heat." like that's supposed to make it OK.
I'ts not OK.
 I'll take humidity over a dry heat any day. I'd rather be soaked in sweat than shriveling up.
A dry heat will suck the life out of you the moment it touches you. It's hard to stay hydrated. It's a scientific fact that water will go where it is not, it tries to balance itself out. So if you are well hydrated but the air around you isn't guess what's going to happen. The air is going to steal your moisture. Your hair, your skin, your brain, your whole body dries out. Not healthy!
Think about it people, would you rather step into an oven or a sauna?

Show us something that you are saving or budgeting for.

An awesome house...

Ok, I have a problem. I have a shopping problem.
But it's not what you're thinking.
The problem is I can't shop for me. I can shop for Matt or Luke, but not me. I'd like some clothes that fit me, but I just can't bring myself to buying them.
My mom says it's a Mom problem. She was the same way after I was born.
The things I thing about when I'm shopping:

• This is a really cute accessory, but I need to spend my money on clothes.
• That's cute, but I don't like t-shirts. I prefer blouses and tank tops.
• Will I wear this? Where will I wear this?
• Does this make me look too matronly? Or not matronly enough?
• Are The Girls easily accessible? (this rules out most dresses...and i love dresses)
• Will this be comfortable in Phoenix weather? Does it breathe well?
• How much?

After all that I end up with nothing. It's a great savings plan, but I'd like some clothes that fit and I easily nurse in them.

Now let's talk about hair.
I'm not used to having long hair. Everywhere I look I see a really cute short cut that makes me want to grab a pair of scissors and ATTACK MY HEAD!

• But I love my long hair. I love that I can put it all up and get it out of my face and mostly out of Luke's reach.
• But I miss having crazy, short, playful hair. If it wasn't for Matt, I'd probably have a mohawk or something.
• But a lot of women cut their hair soon after they marry or have a baby. And I'm always trying way too hard to be different.
• But I want to be a totally rock awesome wife and mother with totally rock awesome hair.
• But I don't want to look ridiculous or like I'm trying to hard...which I am...I just don't want to look it.
  

Someone save me from myself please.

What would you consider to be your 15 minutes of fame so far in life?

More like 2 minutes of fame for me.
It was a Peach Cake/ImaRobot/Junior Senior show at the Big Fish Pub in Tempe, AZ. During ImaRobot's set the lead singer and I kept reaching out to each other. My cousin said to me "Next time he does that you should grab his hand and jump on stage!" So I did. And I danced around like a total fool and loved every moment. Some photographer from L.A. took my picture. Eventually security pulled me off.
Sometimes I meet people who were there that night that remember it. When they here that it was me they're always like "Omagosh that was you?! That was so coooool!"
Seriously that's the best I've got. I've never been in the paper or on TV. :(

We rented a couple movies this week. Luke s really drawn in by action. 300 had him totally captivated. For the other movies he'll just play with his blocks or something.
Hot Fuzz was fricken hilarious. Loved it. I recommend it and will probably buy it.

The thing I found really funny about it is that Matt wants to be a cop and if he were, he would totally be like the character Nicholas Angel-such a goody-two-shoes. That's the kind of guy he is. He really cares about and believes in what he does.

Anyway it got me thinking. Matt has always wanted to be a police officer. And I hate cops!
My mom used to date a lot of cops. She works at a court so she's around them all the time. They were really nice men, but they are just a totally different breed of people, you know? It's not my kind of person. I prefer firemen...I guess I just trust them more. It goes without saying that I would not want my Matt to be one of those people. Haha, that makes me sound racist or classist or any of the -ist's.
My mom would love if he was a cop. She always used to get him applications for Phoenix PD clerk or assistant positions and was constantly checking for openings for him.
We talked a lot about it. He says I'm not holding him back, that he's just not sure if it's where he really wants to be. I still can't help but think that he's not pursuing it more because he's afraid to upset me. That makes me feel bad, but at the same time I just can't imagine me as the wife of a cop. hmmmmm...

Like I said, he really cares about and believes in what he does. Isn't that someone who should be policing the city? Isn't that someone you'd want to be protecting your streets? Haha, probably not cos he'd be pulling your ass over all the time! :P
hmmmmm...

I just saw the very end of Rescue Me. I did not see the rest of the show, I have never even seen this show before, just commercials. Well the guy was holding his sleeping baby off a bridge or overpass or something like he was going to drop him!?!?!?!
WTF WTF WTF IS GOING ON?!?!?! I've never seen this show before. WTF IS GOING ON?!?!?!

Earlier when I was in the bathroom I heard "Wicked Game" playing on TV. But it wasn't the Chris Isaac version. It was some girl band(??) I thought it was really pretty. So when I came out I looked it up on the webz. I found millions of versions and all most of them were really enjoy able. My favorite so far is ImaRobot's version. My least favorite is HIM's.
BTW I think the one I heard from the TV was from Giant Drag. It's on their MySpace.
