MEXICO!!

Here we come.

Well not yet, but soon.

I have to say it has been s long since I have written but really nothing has been going on.

We are staying home, Eddie has been doing a few shows here and there and I have been working- ya, you heard me, I work. So nothing is really that interesting.

I mean, I have two rad kids that would win a fucking Oscar for being the best damn kids in the world but you don't want to hear about that... especially if you got yourself a stinker!

I just wanted to let you know that we are going to Rocky Point Mexico on June 10. Eddie will be playing Circus Mexicus on the 12. If you are there, live close or want to travel. GO. It rocks. Spent a lot of time there when I was younger, it is really nice, beautiful and there's no oil in the water. It's the Sea of Cortez so come on down, it's going to rock.

My oh my

It's been 20 some odd days since I've written. I have had a crazy couple of weeks and right now I am just not sure what I should be writing about. I guess that's when a blog can either stay a blog or become more than a blog...

I'm having some technical difficulties I guess you could say.

Oh what a night.

I just found this pic from when Eddie and I got married. This was after watching Steve Earle play...

good times.

That's my girl

LA Ink

I was watching LA Ink because there was absolutely nothing on and the dishes were done, babies in bed and husband playing a show- I was weak!

Anyway I hear this voice and see that my old friend Craig (formerly the washboard genius of Throw Rag) is on the show. I was confused but then noticed he was at his shop, American Electric and I was just blown away. So I proceeded to watch the entire show, to see when he would be back on. He's fantastic, adorable, abrasive and has the most lovable, snarly look about him and he was wearing a cowboy shirt which really sealed the deal.

He wasn't on the show much, but he was the best part. I have since watched LA Ink to see that face but he really has such a small part. I don't know the tie in, maybe they're friends? 

LA Ink has this girl manager in charge and it just seems all scripted. So dumb, fake scenes, fake fights. I mean, maybe they're not fake (HA!) but these people are the most awkward people, if they're not, in fact, horrible actors.

And what's with Kat's face? She was so pretty before, now she's all pulled tight, botox is not always a girls best friend. She looks plastic and I am not trying to be mean, it's just a drag to see someone cool looking get so... fake.

Toadies

As we rearrange the livingroom, again, I put on an old Toadies record and I am instantly taken back... something about old records, songs that can just zap you back in time. 

I remember when I used to smoke, when I would blow it out through my nose it reminded me of rehab... weird.

Smoking is bad and I am happy to be outta that racket, I am entirely too vain. I will almost certainly smoke again, at some point but that's just me being honest. I hate when people quit something and swear it off forever. Why? I mean, hopefully forever is a really long time, right? I can't imagine being tied to anything I've sworn off or worse being one of those people that "quits" everything, preaches about it and then go back without a thought. I think that whole "everything in moderation" is almost right.

What's it to you?

I am so sick of hearing people weigh in on breastfeeding.

What's it to anyone? I mean, it's discussed on shows, websites blogs... like this one...

I guess what really pissed me off is that anyone would think to say it's wrong.

And then when there are discussions about people who are doing it, they all talk about hiding in the fucking bathroom! I just read this ridiculously long list of posts on like iVillage  or something and these women are talking about staying indoors because they are breastfeeding and going into their car or worse, a public bathroom! YUCK.

Can you imagine grabbing your lunch and walking into the bathroom to eat? Please.

Sure it's weird because we are so weird about sex and the naked body, etc. Hey, I'm not but society in this country is. But it's food. Period. It's how some, lucky, babies eat.

And I get it, there are some women out there that are too proud, they show the whole damn room their enormous nipples, but don't look. Simple as that. It's not like they are walking around the room feeding their baby.

The problem is there are so many misinformed Mothers out there because of all of this shit talk about breastfeeding. I think it should be your decision, if you don't do it, don't. But if you're going to do it, just go for it. Get on with your life. Bring a blanket, which sometimes works until the baby doesn't like it and they start pulling it off. Wear the right shirt, better yet, do like I do and always wear a tank top underneath. So when you have to lift up your shirt (which you should, your giant jug should always go under, never over the shirt) your not feeling a draft, you will feel better about it, trust me.

So I guess I too am discussing this and that is the very thing that annoys me, but it frustrates me to hear people, men and women talk about how they think it's gross. I think some people are gross, their eating habits, their shoes, their FACES but I'm not going to tell them to stay in the fucking house.

Ugh, it just makes me angry and a little sad to think that someone could have such a negative feeling about a Mother feeding her baby and my feeling is that their Mother's didn't love them enough.
