It is Father's Day so you know what that means for us...absolutely nothing. But, please do visit us again on July 30th as we celebrate all the wonderful things that have happened since our dead beat dad died including, but not limited to:
The freedom to answer the phone, open the mail box and walk down the street in Palm Springs on holiday weekends. And, we'll probably touch on Linda's new fear of having a heart attack even though we write about it almost every day. Oh, oh, we know, maybe we'll post a recipe for Heart Attack Pizza!
~ This morning, a white dove (wait, are doves any other color?) landed in my yard. Is that a sign of amazing things to come or is it one of those doves that weirdo lady released at the end of the Michael Jackson trial? We don't live far from Santa Maria and well, doves do fly.
~I keep seeing all these blogs and more blogs about cupcakes making a come back. When were they ever not popular?
~ Our brother, Tod, will be disc jockeying (do the still call it that?) on Pinkey's Paperhaus beginning at 4:30 this Tuesday. You can listen online or by podcast (huh?). Tod is very funny, has a really good voice and promises to do an impersonation of Michael Silversomething - don't worry, we have no idea who the hell that is either but it will probably be as funny as my impersonation of Rosie O'Donnell (who knew?!). Do listen if you can, but not at work because he'll probably say fuck a lot.
~My husband and I went to the most expensive movie theater EVER today and saw The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Hey, it was MY turn to pick the move so no jokes about my husband, please. I really liked the movie except for the ending. There's some serious unspoken fashion advice in this film...the normal weight girl who was supposed to be the fat girl wore a CAP SLEEVE SHIRT in almost every scene. See, I am not the only one who thinks those shirts make everyone look fat~ the wardrobe people know it, too. None of the skinny girls wore those shirts! I am about to talk about the ending so if you don't want to know, stop reading NOW.
1. The soccer coach with too much Dippity Do in his hair coming back and telling the girl that the sex they had was his fault/responsibility was a stupid lesson for young girls. If you stalk a guy until he sleeps with you then he's not the only one responsible. And by the way, if you are teen girl hell bent on having sex, USE A CONDOM.
2. As 2 daughters of a total deadbeat (and now literally dead) dad, we can honestly tell you that telling off dad then going to his wedding 2 days later is lame and could never happen without the daughter barfing all over the place.
3. They journaled the jeans! How could I not love that?!
