What Karin needs, according to Google

So, Mandy wrote this post on her blog which got me wondering what Google might think I need.
Now, I don't know about you, but Google is my go to search engine when I need to find something. Who knew it was smart enough to help with my personal needs too?

The results were:

#1
Karin needs a hug

#2
Karin needs a lobotomy fund

#
Karin needs wii help


Hmmm, I think I'm going to vote for the hug. I was treated pretty poorly today on a construction site which unfortunately has been an ongoing issue---gotta love sexism.

Have you asked Google what you need lately?

Enter Madsen Cycle link contest and win a free bike!


Is this not the cutest bike ever?
I can just see myself riding around my neighborhood looking so cute
with a bucket full of children behind me.

I might even feel motivated to ride my bike to the grocery store.
Or just talk about it.

hmmm,
I'm going to need a new wardrobe if I win this cute bike.
And maybe another child, or two.

Because really, wouldn't twins would look great in there?
And lets face it, once twins hit 4 they usually don't get pegged as twins anymore.
So I need another set of twins.

Visit Madsen Cycles for more information and contest rules.

Michael Jackson's last rehearsal video

I couldn't help myself today and I allowed myself to click the link and see Michael's Jackson's last rehearsal video.

He still had the moves. There is no denying that, even from this short 1.5 minute clip.



Unfortunately, I still think his inappropriate behavior with young boys overshadows his talent.
Am I alone?


The bain of my existence



Yes, I am having one of those weeks with my picky little eaters.

I have tried everything.
There was operation starve the children
which was a dismal failure.

My children were hiding in the pantry eating cereal.
It was horrible!

Then we cut out milk.
Seriously.
My kids could live on milk alone.
They would drink their milk and throw the rest of the meal out.
Every time.

Then I pretended not to care.
Didn't work.

Now I'm resulting to ranting and raving
like a crazy person.

Ever say anything just completely stupid to your kids
and then wish you could suck it back in
before they realize what a moron you are?

Yeah, that was me.

I told them I wasn't even going to bother cooking dinner anymore.
Or going to the grocery store.
"Just eat whatever you want and make your own meals".

um, Dr. Phil?
It's just not workin' for me!
