don't dream it's over

*heaps has happened in a month! I'm back from blog vacay now, phew. Recap since last time:got arrested on way home from iowa, ran out of gas on the expressway & have added hitchhiking as activities I enjoy as a result, lost my sunnies @ jax's on the 4th (you know the 2 things I love most are sunnies & my bb!), crashed a family reunion w/alissa, & disloacated my rotator cuff @ work...whatever that means I just know it hurts big time. Let's fast forward to present:
*am & her beau were in chi with nascar and I was lucky enough to have them come visit. We took the train to wrigley & went to a cubs game. I've never actually scalped tickies w/out leah. Trying to be cool I suggested we get standing room only tickets. Too bad none of us knew what standing room only really meant just that. Duh. A few old style lights & ball park foodies later & we were hi-5ing our neighbors in the standing section.
*of course everytime I train dt lately & need to connect to the redline its under construction. Last weekend I was trying to meet l&a for a streetfest & again my redline transfer was under construction. Of course, just as I was getting off the train (which is right by a theater) the chris rock show is getting out & mobs of people are trying to get a taxi the same time as me. I decided to walk a few, or maybe 9, blocks & get a cab there. En route I passed a homeless man that all of these people were passing by & not helping. Being the nice humanatarian I am, I reach in my bag to get a couple $ out(I know how much it sucks to want to get my drink on & not have enough $). As I'm getting ready to handover the cash I read his sign, @ which point I notice he has introduced himself on. How clever...too bad for him his name started with a d & didn't get any better. I felt bad no longer & bought my friends a round with the cash when I got to my destination finally.
*babysitters club part uno:
Things I have learned from babysitting...
1.Kids love keys. Always have them handy & big enough so they won't choke. This will entertain them for hours.
2.The disney channel is hypnotic & a must have.
3.Baking is cheap entertainment & like kid crack. They are mesmerized by breaking eggs & stirring things together that looks like mudd & taste like chocolate. Plus they are alway well behaved when they know treat are coming.(Bakers note:when baking be sure to read the proper measurements in English, not metric. 1/4 cup is NOT the same as 1/4 litre. This may cause your brownies to look like soup, but don't worry they will turn out good enough for the kids not to know the diff.)
4.Shit hits the fan all at once. Baby will wake up the same time the buzzer for brownies is beeping & the pizza man arrives. Don't panic, grab the baby, turn off the over, the pizza guy can wait.
*since I've found blogging on the bb more helpful these days, I've started to feel like rev run. I've tried to master his laugh, now its onto bb blogging. Except he manages to safely blog from the tub & on the tele at that. I, on the other hand, take the bb in the tub with me just 1 time & poof...I pass out & wake up 2 hours later with the bb taking a bath with me, only its at the bottom by my feet. Oops! Poor bb, thank goodie it dries nicely.
*i have rekindeled my childhood love of batman. I remember when my aunts & uncles took me to see batman for the 1st time when I was in 2nd grade. They even got me a rad batman watch although I couldn't tell time yet (yes, I'm aware I still don't tell time). Leah took me on a getaway to see dark night & I'm hooked again. Christian Bale is #1 hottie & I don't care if he supposedly assaulted his mom & sis, they were probably doing something bitchy. God bless those baby blues & the dark knight! I totally want a batman ice cream cake for my birthday instead of hannah montana.
