about the saucer breast

A friend recently came across the silliest nursing cover in existence.

Does "nursing cover" come to mind? All I can see (or not see since it's camouflaged, yuk yuk) is "flying saucer".

Depending on surrounding company, I may or may not choose to use a cover while I'm nursing.  I seem to have become a bit more brazen, so come my 6th kid, I won't even bother wearing a shirt. A blanket has sufficed when needed, so I've found that all the new en vogue "hooter hiders" are overkill. 

It's intended purpose, in case the picture's point didn't come across, is to be used as follows -

The website touts it's a modern bonnet, but how can it be modern when I found it's Arizona version while thrifting at an antique store?





In case you'd like to grab one of these puppies for yourself, here's the website. I promise I won't laugh too hard.

about Asher-loo

Asher was recently in and out of a room where The 5th Element was viewing. Later, he was inspired to channel Leeloo, but in a butched up manner. Leeloo was certainly well represented, but somehow using mom's elastic hairbands curbed the desired butchness that even a sword and batman mask couldn't rectify.

I'm done trying to think of witty titles

Today I attended a focus group study about Hallmark. I have stepped into a Hallmark store approximately 0 times, so my knowledge of Hallmark is through commercials and whatever Target decides to sell of theirs. In recent years, Hallmark has created many products apart from cards. In my focus study, we discussed several new products Hallmark will be releasing in the year to come, with a moderator present to help prompt us to give our opinion, and at least 6 Hallmark executives standing in another room watching our session through a two-way mirror. One such product demonstrated to us was a microphone that changes your voice when sung into. After our moderator sang a rousing rendition of "Dashing Through The Snow", we were asked if it were something we would consider purchasing for our families. The 5 other women who had previously been very at ease with giving their opinions suddenly became very quiet and stared at each other uncomfortably, squeaking out comments of "Ummm, I don't think so" or "It's not something I would want my kids to play with" all the while averting their eyes from the actual product. The moderator looked at me and said,

"Jaylee, what do you think about this product?"

I answered,

"It's phallic and looks like a penis."

Study groups need more people like me.

FYI

For all those that didn't get an email -

http://www.notsupersaturday.blogspot.com/

My cell phone's voice mail greeting is completely unprofessional. I'm (slightly) embarrassed after my doctor's office, Emma's school, etc. have left voice mails because I know what they had to listen to in order to leave a message. In spite of this, I haven't changed it. My greeting is basically me saying "Hello? (long pause) Wait, say that again? (long pause) Aw, just leave a message!" It's completely believable. Every one falls for it, and some several times. I know, it's nothing original, but it's so funny to hear people's reaction in the messages they leave - laughter, frustration, sheepishness. I'll be changing it soon. It's run it's course. Any ideas? Should I use the standard, dull as rocks greeting of "Hi, you've reached Jaylee (I know you know who you're calling, but I like the sound of my own name). I can't come to the phone right now (yeah, you're going to ask me to sub for you in primary, ergo I'm screening my calls), but leave a message and I'll get right back to you (on Monday morning after I know you're not looking for a sub anymore). My last voice mail message went something like "Yeah, I don't ever remember to take my phone with me, and I have no idea how to check my voice mail messages, so just keep calling and you'll eventually get a hold of me". Accessing voice mail has become easier since I received a hand me down Iphone; checking voice mail means pressing two buttons max. Although FYI I still don't check my voice mail left on my home phone. A few nights ago, late into the evening, I had misplaced my cell phone. I called it several times and could vaguely hear it ringing from the recesses of my couch. On my final call and attempt to figure out exactly where it was hiding, I heard someone answer "Hello?". I froze because it was 11:30 at night and freak, who had I called this late and woken up? With trepidation, I answered "Hello?" back. A few anxious seconds later, I heard "Wait, say that again?". Humbleness and karma learned in one lesson.

Star Trek IS Great

Recently, Emma drew Clint and I each our own picture. She placed them both under our pillows for us to find when we went to sleep. I asked her the next morning what the picture signifies. She said it's a picture of how we spend our time with her.





Here is how Clint and Emma spend their time together -










Apparently, here is how Emma and I spend our time together -








Her picture is completely inaccurate. Picard never smiles, and for most of the seasons, Worf's hair is longer.






I may the lazy parent, but at least I'm not an idiot.
