Our Weather Man is a Homeless Drunk.

  • Posted on May 7, 2009 at 9:02 pm

i am pissed off right now. 

our weather station has decided that rather than play tonight’s episode of Grey’s Anatomy, they would play non-stop coverage of how the rain is moving over the counties nearby. 
I FUCKING KNOW THE WEATHER IS BAD. 
i don’t need some weather man who looks like he just rolled out of an alleyway to tell me. if they had just done the flashy thing at the bottom of the fucking screen, their ratings would have been higher. as it is, i even canceled the tivo of that fucking station at that fucking time because without Grey’s, there is NO POINT. 
Kansas City is notorious for having the worst news stations in America, and tonight they are living up to that reputation. 
way to go, fuckheads. 
if anybody would care to fill me in on what happened, please do! i was eagerly awaiting this epidode. :( instead, i had the option to watch a fat homeless drunk in a suit point at a television screen for a whole fucking hour. 
i’m watching Star Trek: Nemesis, and am about to try to find more Diaper icons in the Great Cloth Diaper Hunt. Bite me, Channel 9.
Edited to Add: i know i could watch the episode online. BUT, i have satellite internet. which means that anything of that size, and we hit the fair access policy. i’m about to go to bed, so i won’t go into explaining it right now, but i will say that watching a file of that size online will turn our internet down slower than dial up. can’t do it. yes, it sucks. 

Solids

  • Posted on at 1:29 pm

my daughter is now 9 months and 13 days old. she is still breast fed. she only gets one jar of babyfood a day. 

i’ve given her gerber puffs (broken in half) and she just plays with them. 
she eats stage 2 foods, but anything with green beans or potatoes (not sweet potatoes, she likes those) makes her gag and throw up. 
she likes bananas in a  mesh feeder. she’ll suck on them and teething cookies all day, but they are so damn messy i very rarely give them to her. 
today, i smushed up a bit of banana and put a dot of the goop half the size of a small pea on her tongue. 
she vomited everywhere. 
i am officially convinced that i will still be feeding my daughter jarred baby food when she is 25 years old.  
if she still wants a liquid diet after 2, though, she’s just gonna have to make due with formula. i want my fucking boobs back sometime within the next year. 
i know, all babies are different. she’s just not ready for solids. she still has to have breast milk or formula as her main source of nutrition until she’s at least a year old, but i admit it- i’m getting discouraged. i just don’t understand why she can’t stand anything less than liquids in her mouth. 
i want to be able to bring a little tub of cheerios to the mall so she can have a snack while i browse the racks of clothes. i want to be able to sneak her bites of mashed potatoes from my plate. i want to be able to give her icecream without her vomiting because it’s not room or body temperature. 
anyways. just had to get that out. moving on with life.
