I’ve been watching a lot of Discovery Channel lately. Specifically Dirty Jobs and Deadliest Catch because I have a wicked crush on Mike Rowe. Huge crush. HUUUUGE.
Anywho, I had to post about a commercial they are running because I like it a lot. I don’t know if they’re saying “Boomdiada” and if they are, I don’t know what that means. Anyway, here it is. Mike Rowe is the one that says “I like real dirty things.” Also, I find the bridge at the beginning disturbing.
I really miss this show. I’m ready for it to come back now. I’m watching the full episodes on ABC. It’s so great.
I read this list at Baby Center for things that change when you have a baby and some of them are quite true, but I’d never thought about it.
You find that your baby’s pain feels much worse than your own.
You think of someone else 234,836,178,976 times a day.
Bodily functions are no longer repulsive. In fact, they please you. (Hooray for poop!)
You look at your baby in the mirror instead of yourself.
You become a morning person.
Your love becomes limitless, a superhuman power.
You’d rather buy a plastic tricycle than those shoes that you’ve been dying to have.
You give parents with a screaming child an ‘I-know-the-feeling’ look instead of a ‘Can’t-they-shut-him-up?’ one.
You take the time for one more hug and kiss even if it means you’ll be late.
If you have time, please stop here and vote again for Will and Lori! Thanks.
Since I had Isaac, I’ve been thinking about and attempting to lose my baby weight. Mostly just thinking…
One of the common things I’ve heard and read are that I should drink a lot of water. Part of that is because it’s better diet wise than any other drink, as it doesn’t add to your caloric intake. Another part, unless I misunderstood the message, was that my body needed it and it was good for me. I’ve never been an avid water drinker. When I did the water, water, all day water, all the time water thing, I never really FELT any different. I was annoyed that I had to drink what seemed like a million glasses to reach my goal and I rarely completed a full 8 glasses in one day. In the end, I felt defeated with a little apathy thrown in for good measure. I didn’t see or feel the benefits, so I always thought, “What’s the point?”
I just read a little something on NPR. Five Myths About Drinking Water. I know this is just one article of the myriad that are out there, but it sort of justifies my thoughts on water intake. I tend to be a drink-when-you’re-thirsty person rather than forcing myself to drink all day. I’ve felt a little bit guilty, for lack of a better word, that I don’t drink, drink, drink as has been suggested. Now I feel better about my lack of drinkiness.
I think what comes in to play for me, is to choose water or something low calorie wise when I actually AM thirsty rather than cokes, but I’m not terrible about drinking cokes (”sodas” for you non-Texans). I don’t drink them everyday and the days I do have them it’s usually one or two.
What do you all think about the water thing? Do we NEED to drink tons of water to be healthy? If so, why do you think that?
[edit] I just googled a little and Snopes has even debunked the water myth. MAN! I kind of feel duped now.
He did this over and over for about 10-15 minutes. Same thing happened everytime.
Isaac’s sitters are named Lori and Will. Will draws a regular comic strip called The Mangled Stare. For people who know the world of internet comics, you’ve probably heard of PvP Online. Today, Will got to be a guest comic on his strip! This is amazing for them and I’m really happy for them. If you’re interested in seeing more of his strip, you can find it here.
