Pardon Me While I Go Get My Tub Of Duncan Hines Dark Chocolate Frosting.

This is Hugh Jackman - post workout.

You can just smell the sexy on him, can't you ?

I knew I was getting old when guys in their forties

were way hotter than guys in their twenties.

East Coast Dooce ?

Occasionally I will read Dooce and mutter to myself...

" Jeez, I think she and I were separated at birth or something..."

I have gathered more proof as to our probable lineage.....

I do THE.EXACT.SAME.THING. when purchasing wine.

AND I DON'T EVEN DRINK WINE !

The sulfates make me sleepy. Really sleepy. A glass of Merlot is the equivalent of 10 Unisom for me. I told The Mister if some unfortunate soul wanted to seduce me employing wine, among other things, that would be really counter productive for the individual in question.

P.S. I got carded at the liquor store last week. Getting carded at the liquor store when you're creeping up on your mid-thirties is better than sex. Or validation. Or validation DURING sex.
To the point; It made my day.

How To Keep A Two Year Old Entertained At The Ass Crack Of Dawn. a.k.a. Another Post About My Niece

The challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to keep one energetic two-year old entertained while every other adult in the house is asleep.

Behold ! I AM A GENIUS !

YouTube ! Ah yes, that veritable treasure trove of entertainment for all ages !

I believe I've said something to this effect in the not too distant past.

Dang it YT is a wonderful thing !

Picture it;

Me-sitting in my desk chair, sipping coffee. It's early. I have a footie pajama-ed, recently white cranberry peach juiced ( no sippy cup - from a regular cup. that's right, Auntie is BAD ASSED ! NO SIPPY CUP YO ! ) two year old on my lap.

Remembering that my MIL ( a.k.a " Nana " ) has expressed to me her thoughts that our precious niece/granddaughter is a " very old soul " I thought I would try to find something that would appeal to a very old soul-ed two-year old.

Behold ! Gene Kelley ! Singing in the rain !

If my niece had a greater grasp of of the English language or a more complex sophistication of thought she would have said;

" This is SO.AWESOME ! Auntie, HOW DID YOU KNOW I WOULD DIG THIS SO ! "

Dunno kid, I'm just good like that.

Later, subsequent viewings of this very video elicited her saying " Uh-Oh " until someone hit the repeat button.

Over and over and over and over again.

What to show her next......think quick Auntie....you're losing her ! She's getting antsy ! HUUUUURRRY !

Behold ! West Side Story !

Ammmmerrrrr-eeeeeeeccccaaaa ! I VANT TO BE IN AMER-REEEK-KAH !

How hot was Rita Moreno back in the day ?

Sadly we didn't watch too much of " I vant to be in Amer-reeek-kah " as I decided that since she was in her parrot stage ( repeating everything you say ) I decided that I didn't need her parents waking to find that their precious little girl had learned the word " Spic ".

NEXT !


As my feet were beginning to hurt watching Mr. Kelley and Ms. Moreno dance for the umpteenth time I decided we were going for a swim.

Internet, meet Esther Williams.

Esther got mad skills.

You'd never seen Gwyneth don a bathing suit and attempt such.

SUCK IT PALTROW !

Again, had my niece had the capacity;

" Ok Auntie, I see where your going with this one. I can appreciate the skill and patience it must take to choreograph such a performance. That and I like their sparkly outfits. "

As my coffee kicked in and I started to feel a bit braver I decided to give MJ a try.

CLICK HERE !

You can't embed any MJ videos. Sorry.

Turns out my niece LOVES MJ.

If she could;

" Auntie, this is so cool. I love Beat It. I feel badly for MJ though, I think he subjugated his needs to please others, ultimately it lead to his own demise. I hear he had some serious Daddy Issues. But I love that sparkly red jacket."

As I had polished off my first cup of coffee I was feeling brave and decided to push the envelope ( or it seems I pushed my own agenda.....) even further.

Behold !

NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK !

I figured since we were on this singing and dancing roll I might as well run with it.

Sadly, Jordan, Donnie, Danny, Joe and Jon ( STILL HOT ! ) did not hold her attention for more than six seconds.

At the sound of the first " Oh, oh, ohohooo...." she squirmed out of my lap and took off.

Jordan, we got work to do baby.

Turn her to the NKOTB side I will. A choice she will have not.

XOXO
