A Whole Lot of Random
This post is really going to live up to my blog name of mish mash. I just have all these random thoughts floating around in my head that aren’t really worthy of an entire post, so I’m throwing them all together here. Please don’t look for any purpose or cohesive theme, because you will find none.

I was unloading the dishwasher when my daughter walked through the kitchen. She slipped on a little bit of the water that had dripped off a bowl I had just taken out.
After she regained her composure, she looks at me with a flabberghasted expression and sighed loudly.
Then she proceeds to say to me in her most agitated voice, “Mom, you really need write up a wet floor sign and post it when you have the time.”
I don’t know why but this just struck me as funny. I guess I pictured myself getting out the markers and construction paper and drawing that funny looking guy in the triangle. Sure, I’ll pencil it in right after folding the laundry, cooking dinner and the myriad of other endless tasks I have on my to-do list.

You know I didn’t really think that much of the Miley Cyrus bare back pictures when everyone was making such a fuss about them. Yes, they were a bit unnecessarily sexy for her age, but nothing too shocking.
At the time, everyone was blaming the photographer for taking advantage of a young, innocent girl.
Well, I wonder if people are still singing the same tune after seeing the latest provocative pictures .(Note: Not the one to the right. I refuse to post such filth on my blog. The only wet t-shirt pictures that you will see here will be of guys on Friday Eye Candy–never, ever Disney teen stars turned tramps. Why? Because it is my blog and I make all the rules, so there!)
We always hear how mortified and shocked she is when her private photos are hacked and making their rounds online, but I just can’t feel that sorry for her. Stop taking them or if you did it in the past and are regretful, then just DELETE all traces of them. I mean I’m almost wondering if this is some sort of crazy publicity stunt. If so, HELLO?? Did you not see what happened to Britney Spears??!! Taking your clothes off is not the answer, Miley. Show some class and cover up.

Last night for dinner we had pork chops, beans, noodles and apple sauce.
I love this meal for one main reason. I get to tell my kids and husband that we are having “Pork Chopppss and Aaaaple shauce (in my best Peter Brady/Bogart voice).
It was the highlight of my day if that tells you anything.

Do you think it is really possible to be possessed by a demon? I found myself wondering this yesterday a few times after watching my son and his hellish behavior. I think we need to move on from time outs to getting a priest over here to do an exorcism if things don’t improve. (I was going to post a picture of that girl from The Exorcist, but she is surprisingly scary if you actually look at her closely. I thought I’d spare you the trauma.)

Did anyone see the homerun derby? Grady Sizemore and Chase Utley were in it and looking fine. Very fine, indeed. They didn’t win though. 
While we are on the subject of my cute baseball player list, I got a few comments that the Nick Markakis picture I posted really didn’t do him justice. Natalie (no link/no website) was kind enough to email me a few more to share with you. There were many but I think this was my favorite:

My Tivo didn’t record Big Brother for us on Sunday when we were at the concert. We forgot to set it to record the new season but were hoping that it would be smart enough to know that we always watch Big Brother.
Either Tivo isn’t as smart as I give Him credit to be or else He is trying to send me a message that I shouldn’t bother with it this year.
Every summer since it first premiered we have wasted countless hours on this completely mind-numbing and useless show. Sure, it has provided a few entertaining moments (especially the seasons with Dr. Will Kirby) but for the most part I think I’m outgrowing this midsummer tradition.
Did anyone watch on Sunday? Should I tune in or should I leave my fate in the hands of the almighty Tivo?

Speaking of wasting time on things, I don’t have a lot of praise for The Thirteenth Tale. It got a lot of great reviews, but I just couldn’t seem to get into the story or the characters.
The story had a lot to do with twins and the “twin bond”. Since I’m not a twin I just felt like I couldn’t get the connection the author kept referring to over and over and over again.
I only continued to push through because my book club loved it so much. Well, now I’m not only annoyed with the book, but also my book club for recommending it so highly.
This book has been compared to Jane Eyre and it was mentioned many times in the book, so my book club thought we should read this one next. I’m currently on page 80 and already enjoying it far more than The Thirteenth Tale, so I am hopeful that it will be a better read. I’m guessing it will be since it is a classic and all, but now I’m skeptical.
Has anyone read either of these books? What did you think of them?

Speaking of twins, what do you think of the names that Brangelina (that was for you Non-Soccer Mom) gave to their new twins?
Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline
I still haven’t made up my mind about them. What’s a Knox? Why must celebrity parents give their children such odd names. I think Angelina has a thing with the letter “x”. First Maddox, then Pax and now Knox. I just see that getting confusing since they all kind of sound the same.
I don’t know about you but I just can’t wait to see the whole brood trying to get from here to there. I know there will be nannies and bodyguards and arms full of babies. It will be such a fun spectacle to see!
That’s it for now. Was that enough random for you for one day? Do you believe I went a whole post without mentioning Ryan Gosling? Oops, I guess I didn’t really. Oh well.

All Ryan...All the time!-

Brangelina, bah!
As for the names, hmm. This is the first time I’ve heard them (apparently just now crawled out from under my rock), and as celebrity names go, not that bad. (Pilot Inspektor, anyone?) I agree that Knox is a little strange, but Vivienne Marcheline is pretty. And a nice tribute to Angelina’s mother, no doubt. So, I suppose I can give them a tentative NonSoccerMom stamp of approval. Ha!

in re: to the Twins, i LOVE the names. When I heard, over the weekend. I was a big fan of them! Yay…
And in re: to MC. I was one of those uproaring their disapproval but not because of AL and her photos. She’s an AMAZING photographer. It DISGUSTED me that her FATHER was there. That he was there and likely encouraging his daughter’s flesh in photos…
As for the other photos, most girls do them. It’s pretty sad, but I don’t feel sorry for her. She should keep them private. It’s pretty simple.

The names are actually family names! I think Knox was Brad Pitt’s grandfather or something? I think it’s nice, and I actually think Knox is kind of a cute name.
I was just so happy that they had a boy. Now if only he’ll favor Brad rather than Angelina…
And I’ve already told you, but Jane Eyre is on of my favorite books.

I have actually just started the Thirteenth Tale and so far so good, I rather like it!! So, I am trying to avoid any comments above that might say anything that I don’t want to know – eyes firmly averted!!!

Jane Eyre is a great book. It is a timeless love story like Wuthering Heights and Pride and Prejudice.
It’s one of my favorite books, ever. Hope you like it.

Oh my gosh, I’m so glad my child isn’t the only one who needs an exorcism. I’m so glad I stopped by here today.

Knox is a fort and also a brand of gelatin. Actually its a family name on Brad’s side I think. Lovely names, um sure, ok. Oh and the girl is named for Angelinas mum I think. At least she didn’t name them fruits, or veggies. Although She could have named the girl Peach…get it. Peach…Pitt! Ha ha ha. I crack myself up.
AS far as Miley Cyrus is concerned, Ack! I just can’t find it within myself to even comment on her. She is rapidly being replaced by the likes of Selena Gomez and Demi Lovado. Although it does make me wonder who or what will be the “it” girl when the Little Imp gets to the age where she is interested in that sort of thing.

LOVE the name Vivienne – Vivi for short. It was on my list of girl’s name when I was pregnant, but we had a boy
Ever since I saw Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman I’ve loved the name, then when I read Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood it made me love it even more – and then as if I couldn’t love it anymore than I already did, the movie version of DSYYS came out and amazing Ashley Judd played Vivi!!!

Miley pretty much annoys me…My little sister used to idolized her but after a while, she got tired of it…saying that Miley’s sort of a fake…thanfully she hasn’t seen the recent pictures…
[Reply]
I actually like the names they gave them. Especially the girls name since it was after her mother (Marcheline).
As for Miley…ehhh…I really don’t get the whole Miley circus thing.
[Reply]
I don’t mind the names, they could certainly be worse. The whole X thing does annoy me though. If they adopt any more boys they’re going to have to get more and more creative and they’ll end up with kids named things like Box and Tex.
[Reply]
that nick markakis—- so yummy !!!! yes, that picture is definitely better !!!
[Reply]
My goodness, so much to comment on so little time.
That’s too funny about the porkchops and applesauce, I would have done the same thing “Isn’t that schwell!”
I’m also getting tired of Disney teens acting like tramps. I wrote an quick post on Miley Cyrus the first time she had photos come out (how sad is it that I actually have to use the word “first” here) so now I know a new set of photos have come out when my stats show me that people are finding me by searching for racy Hannah Montana pictures. I can’t believe Billy Ray is allowing this…
You’ve got a ton of great content on this site and I enjoy reading it, keep up the great work…
