Friday Fragments



I've been eating eggs for breakfast this week....One hard-boiled egg along with either a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup egg or many Peanut M&M eggs. It's what I called a well-rounded breakfast, and it is making my ass very well-rounded too.

Word of warning...don't give your dogs the yolks of your hard-boiled eggs. When they fart, the reverberation off of the hard wood floor startles them so much that it wakes them up, and then the smell is is so bad that even they leave the room. The stench lingers for a VERY. LONG. TIME. Anyone have a gas mask I can borrow?

I'm wondering why I always want ice cream or cookies when I watch Biggest Loser? I never have this craving when I'm watching say....Law and Order or Survivor. Isn't it bad enough that I'm just laying on the couch watching people work out?

Finally, there comes a time in every young boy's athletic career when he needs to get some protection for his "nether region". Jake's time came this week.I think his exact words were SWEET! this will even protect my hands when they are in there! (lovely) He then ran a few laps around the house to see if the cup would slow him down, and after determining that it did, but he would get used to it, he gave it a firm knock and said cool! Olivia couldn't quit giggling, that is until she told him to hit himself again but harder to see if it would hurt. Which being a typical boy, he did and of course it didn't hurt, so she told him to hit himself even harder and this game went on and on until we had to put a stop to it, but only after we had composed ourselves in the other room. I had no idea that a boy's first cup was such an exciting event!

OMG-That is sooo funny! (the cup story) I also loved the dogfart fragment- Wow. You have an entertaining life, my friend (smelly, but funny!)

Oh, my. I'm laughing so hard I'm having trouble typing!

When Son #1 needed a cup, I took him to Johnny Macs. The salesperson asked if he could help us...I said "my son needs a cup"...and Son turned BRIGHT red and tried to hide behind a clothing display. I guess there's just some things your mom shouldn't discuss in public when you're 10 years old.

LOL...LOVED your Friday fragments! we went through the cup issue last fall...

Momisodes said...

LOL! I think the cup test is a rite of passage :)

I've had the same breakfast all week, too because of Easter eggs. Many thanks for the yolk advice. My dog's farts are lethal enough as it is.

Raising Z said...

That post had me in giggles :) Thanks for the advice about the yolks! I'm so happy that Jake is protected and loving every minute of it ;)

Lisa said...

Who knew that getting a cup was such a manly milestone? heehee. I laughed out loud reading the game Jake and Olivia were playing. Too funny.

Lisa said...

P.S. And holy crap, I totally understand the dog fart thing. Our dog has been ripping em all week. Only we're not feeding her eggs. AM not sure what it is...

DysFUNctional Mom said...

Too funny! And um, I'll be there tomorrow for breakfast...

Along with The Biggest Loser, I also get the urge to eat junk food while watching America's Next Top Model...

Monkey's Momma said...

Boys. I can totally see my boy doing that when his time comes!

Holly said...

OMG! Thanks for bringing back those funny memories of Parker's first cup! The entire t-ball team, in the dug out, banging away on their cups - sort of the who can hit their own the hardest without cringing game. THEN, they had to start hitting each other's! All of us mothers were about to die. The dads all looked so proud.....

I kid you not, at first glance, I thought that pic was of a coffee maker . . .

ANd all I can say is that anytime I watch TV all I want to do it eat and eat and eat.

I tried exercising, you know, push ups, crunches while watching.

But, I couldn't hold onto my ice cream sandwich at the same time . . .
