The Nothing

Remember in The Neverending Story how "The Nothing" slowly starting creeping into Narnia or wherever it was, and bit by bit this gray, whirling, windy nothingness destroyed everything in its path, almost including the Empress and her ivory tower? (BTW, wasn't the Empress so adorable with her little pearl thingy hanging on her forehead?? For years and years I wanted one of those. Maybe I still do. Just a little.)

The Nothing is consuming my blog right now. I have been busy with stuff but I cannot really think of anything particularly fun or interesting to write about. Maybe my head just isn't in the game the way it used to be. I have also gotten lazy about accepting offers from companies to promote their stuff. I want to do it, I do. But I am having a tough time sitting down and getting it done. Sorry, companies... I am working on it, hang in there!

The point is, don't give up on me, please. I am working on giving the Empress a name so that NeverLand can continue on and the Luck Dragon can live (Rrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagggggghhhhh!!!!!)
LOL ok now that I am thinking about The Neverending Story and googling pictures of it, I am remembering how much I L-O-V-E that movie!! Classic. In every sense of the word. If it had more than one sense. Which I am not really sure if it does. But if it did, then yes- it is classic in every sense of the word.

Among my faves:

Say my name!! 'Bastian, pleeeease!!!
The Luck Dragon. Wait, Posh? What are you doing, get out of my blog!
The oracle. Run, Atreyu!!!! Whew! He makes it past without getting zapped. That was close!

Hellooooo, nurse! 1980's tween crush alert!


Awww, remember this cutie patootie?
"They look like such big, strong, hands...." Tsk, poor Rockbiter!!

Ahhhh....sigh.... what a trip down memory lane.... did you guys all love The Neverending Story when you were a tween in the 80's too? Did you dedicate your side ponytail to Atreyu?  Or was that just me....?

    Never seen it ... am I supposed to feel bad? I'm not sure - does the fact that I didn't grow up in the U.S. get me some sort of amnesty?

    So this is going to sound ridiculous...but honestly, this is one of the top 5 movies that actually scared the crap out of me when I was little! Maybe I should revisit it though now that I'm much, much older. Although since I am still scared of the dark it might not be a good idea.

    Maybe, Joe, but I am sure that you dedicated your red faux Michael Jackson jacket to the Empress, didn't you. ;)

How to Look Like a Rock Star

Image
Having a baby and being exhausted a lot of the time makes me feel really old and decrepit. Sometimes I see a picture of myself and I am surprised by how young I look, simply because I feel so old. And something about feeling old makes me want to at least fake youthfulness. In fact, I think this is what you call a mid-life crisis. Or a mid-childbearing crisis. I don't want to be matronly. I don't want to be called "Ma'am". I want to be youthful and be called "Miss". Sure, the correct term for a married woman with 3 children is "Ma'am". But I am throwing convention to the wind here because I pretty much want to pretend. I want to get hip. Be cool again (ok, I've never actually been cool, but I did say this was for pretends). So I took a little trip down to the fantastic Euphoria Salon for some  help. Here is before, at home with the baby. Clearly something needs to be done with those split ends either way. Soooo.... let's cho

How to Potty Train

Wow, I have really been slacking on the blog posts. But I have a reason for that, truly I do. In fact, I even dropped a hint of it in my last post, but NO ONE noticed! I think I am going to wait a while and see if anyone can come up with a good guess. Not that I blame you for missing the hint, it was subtle. In the meantime, since the last post and now, I will update you on what else has been going on. I have actually potty trained Violet, and that went so remarkably well that I really could not say anything sarcastic about it. Which is a shame, because you know how much I enjoy my sarcasm. And how sad I get when I cannot take aim and shoot it at people or things like little stinging bullets... pew! pew! pew! So the very first day Violet was at the potty like a champ. Inside of a week she was completely potty trained. I would like to brag about how fantastic I am, and about how I am the. best. mom. ever.  But the truth is that Violet was totally ready. Case in point, I noticed sh

How to Battle Caffeine Addiction

How can you battle caffeine addiction? Um, you tell me because I have no idea and I've been struggling hard against becoming addicted to caffeine. Heck, I even struggle against the idea of needing something like caffeine to get through my day. But the truth is that caffeine is like having a secret mommy superpower. Caffeine makes me brave. Caffeine makes me want to live my life to the fullest. I can accomplish things when I have had coffee. It...dare I say it? It makes me a better person. For example, when getting ready to go to the park with the kids, I normally just throw whatever on myself and the kids, and walk out the door. But when I have had coffee it makes me do crazy things like care about our appearance.   And, because I am nursing my 2 month old, she can also accomplish amazing things. When I have had coffee, I can do a million things at once - like clean everything while talking on the phone with caffeine-less friends, nurse the baby , and just about anythin
