Nervous about bringing our 5 month old out to a restaurant – are people really as unforgiving as I think?
My husband and I had our first child almost 5 months ago. We haven’t been out to eat together since. I went to lunch with our son, my mother and my brother once, and our son did great (given, the restaurant was a pizza joint and was deserted when we went to eat). I thought, this went great! My MIL insisted on going out to eat at Olive Garden for lunch one day. We picked a Wednesday, I think, at like 2 to avoid crowds. My son was ok until I had to change his diaper. I laid him on the changing table in the bathroom, with a blanket under him, and he screamed like he was put on a bed of nails. After that, he was miserable the whole time. We rushed through our meal, he cried so much, and one of us was constantly away from our table with him so he wouldn’t cry and disturb other guests. Luckily no one complained to us, because I would have just cried too. I tried so hard in the restaurant to keep things in control, but the experience made me feel so bad that I really don’t want to do it again.
Heaven Help Me MY BEST FRIEND THINKS SHE IS A VAMPIRE! And it’s really starting to creep me out…?
Okay, it was fun…at first; pretending to be vampires over the summer the year the Twilight Movie came out… but that was over a year ago, and she still hasn’t dropped the Vampire Persona.
A little background on Vivyan…
-First off– she’s FOURTEEN
-Secondly, she thinks she is an honest-to-blog blood sucking vampire. Not that that’s strange…
-She’s a ginger— not to sound prejudiced or anything– but being a ginger, she gets a lot of stares as it is— not to mention she now parades around the school wearing her wax-in fangs, and making the most horrific faces whenever confronted with direct sunlight, but she refuses to buy school lunch now!— claiming that human food is an insult to her being, and she only drinks “blood powder” which is turned to liquid in her water-bottle. I was sort of freaked out at first, by the color accuracy and viscosity of the blood— but I sniffed some when she wasn’t looking the other day (intelligent thing to do when identifying an unknown substance— that’ll earn me the Nobel Prize) and it smelled suspiciously like Emergen-C (“just-add-water” vitamin powder that tastes a bit like knock off crystal-light).
Well, recently she’s been referring to her house and family as “the coven”, and I have won the endearing title of “Fledgling”. Jee-thanks-Viv!
Okay, now she has her new boyfriend (a sixteen year old who should know better) playing along too, and it’s gotten really really frustrating, now that I can’t call her by her first name anymore— since I am “her fledgling”, I have to call her “MASTER”, yes, master. Not only is that totally backward and wrong, but it is totally against logic— seeing as I am in the advanced classes, and will reach working age before she does, and I am more than an inch taller than her— plus she dresses…let’s just say HER AGE and I dress like a thirty year old (says she, since I no-longer wish to shop at hot-topic every Saturday, and tend to go with a less-shocking ensemble— mostly dark colors, admittedly, and I like sweaters and more conservative attire).
I know that this is completely shallow, and two faced to wish, but I WISH SHE WOULD QUIT IT AND GROW THE HELL UP! Okay, I know people will say, “You don’t deserve to be her friend”, “how about finding some new friends”, and so on…but I’ve tried, I really have, but nothing feels right without her as my best friend— we just know each-other too well, and quite honestly, I’m sort of an odd-ball-out type myself— just in my own introverted way.
So, I’m the nerd who’s guilty pleasure is to snuggle up in bed with a nice Anne Rice (Vampire) Novel.
And she is the insane best friend who is taking it A HUGE STEP TOO FAR!
I’ve tried reasoning with her…and so far, as expected, reasoning doesn’t help.
My argument goes like; “Please, please, please Viv, could you let me call you by your first name? I really would like things to go back to normal now?”
Her response: “Did the Coven Queen just hear the fledgling speaking to her superior in first person? If so, the coven queen shall have to suspend blood drinking privileges for a week, as well as withdraw the ancient texts from the fledgling in question’s possession.”
Is this really the best fake populism Democrats/Obama/Coakley can muster in MA?
This sounds phony and disingenuous. Not to mention the fact that this tax on banks will inevitably be pushed onto consumers (surprise, surprise)
Is this really the best attack the Democratic all-stars could come up with?? If so, I’m very unimpressed. Is Coakley “standing with mainstreet” on Tuesday when BIG PHARMA and Insurance industry lobbyists are HOSTING a high dollar fundraiser in her name??
What do you think??

Atomic Blogging Review: Can People Really Make Money with Atomic Blogging?
There’s no doubt that making money with a blog is one of the easiest ways for you to begin earning from your Internet marketing efforts. In order for you to get started, however, it is important for that you follow the right steps in order to make sure that you are as successful as possible. For that reason, we decided to do an Atomic Blogging review, in order to see if this product is able to help individuals with their blogging efforts. The first thing that we looked at with Atomic Blogging is whether it was friendly to those who had not yet started blogging or not. While it is not geared to the absolute novice, it does include a series of tutorials that will walk you through every step of the process. It made the claim that you would be able to set up one of these blogs over your lunch hour, so we gave it to our resident technophobe in order to see if it was true. It did take a little longer than expected, just bit a bit over an hour for him to go through the material and have his blog up and running, but he is still running that blog today. Another thing that we enjoyed about doing the Atomic Blogging review is the fact that it gave us a WordPress plug-in which really helped to increase our rankings in the search engine quickly. By allowing us to automatically post our blog to a variety of different Web 2.0 and social networking sites, it really gave us the boost that we needed. As a group, we are anything but new when it comes to blogging and we would recommend the Atomic Blogging package simply for this one bonus. Another thing that we really enjoyed when we were doing our Atomic Blogging review is the fact that it did not focus on doing one blog. As a matter of fact, there was a considerable amount of information on the importance of setting up a blog network. This is very beneficial for anybody who not only wants to make a little bit of money on the Internet, but is actually looking for a way to make a full-time living. By spreading yourself out over a multitude of blogs, the sky is really the limit as far as how much money you can make, all in just a few hours worth of work per day.
