Did you just ask me if I am 'in the mood'?

I met my good friend A. at college about TEN years ago (when I dropped out and he graduated a few years later) I don't get to see him very often. But every once in a while we get together for lunch. Last Thursday we did just that. And as we walked towards the restaurant we a fun conversation. Bare in mind he doesn't have kids yet.

A: So, you're really pregnant!
Me: Yep!
A: That's awesome! Congrats again!
Me: Thanks!
A: So FreezeM is having the time of his life I suppose!
Me: What?
A: So FreezeM is having the time of his life I suppose!
Me: ... what do you mean? He's happy to be a dad again!
A: I meant, you know.
Me: No... I don't know. Tell me.
A: Pregnant women are always in the mood, aren't they?
Me: Did you just ask me if I am 'in the mood'?
A: So it's true!
Me: God, you are messed up. But yes, I guess for many women this is true.
A: I see.
Me: But it's really just good coordination by Mother Nature.
A: Why is that?
Me: Well, the woman gives the husband a lot of 'it' before giving birth. That way, she's giving him a chance to stock up on his needs.
A: Really?
Me: Because after birth? He might not be getting any for weeks.
A: Oh.
Me: Months...
A: ....
Me: Years possibly.
A:....
Me: Do you want children?

Stick something on your head day

Chris asked his readers to post a picture with something on their head. As I love crazy little ideas; I got the whole family to participate. A relatively boring - but cute - photo of us with our winter hats.

Before we decided to just go with the plain hats, we tried to stick Tim on our head. Resulting in a gazillion shots like this one:

Ok, that is just dumb.

Or In Dutch: oliedom.

The hubby’s parents refuse to let us move our own stuff and insist we hire a moving company to do it for us. On their expense. Ofcourse, we can’t refuse such a sweet offer. We already had one company come over and make a price. They were a bit expensive, so we decided on inviting another company to make an offer as well.

So today, I called a moving company to make an appointment. The conversation did not go like I expected. I think the guy on the phone tried to pull a trick he wouldn’t have tried if my husband had called.

Moving company man: Good morning, how can I help you?
Me: Good morning. We would like to move January 19th. Would that still be possible?
MC: Yes
Me: Then I’d like to make an appointment for you to look at the house & stuff that has to be moved.
MC:. Sure. But first. Have you asked other companies to make a price?
Me: Ofcourse.
MC: What companies?
Me: I’m not going to tell you. Can we make an appointment?
MC: Haha. I can try, can I?
Me: Sure.
MC: Can I ask, where did you find us?
Me: I found you on a website, between other The Hague moving companies.
MC: I have to say, we are leading in our business. But we are not the cheapest. What other companies have you asked?
Me: Like I said, I am not going to tell you.
MC: There are ‘price fighters’ out there, we cannot compete with them. It would be inefficient to make an appointment if you’re looking for the cheapest. I just want to check you haven’t had them come by.
Me: Oh. I see. That would be inefficient. Why don’t you give me the names of the cheap movers so we can check that?

And so he did…! He gave me a list of the 3 cheapest moving companies in the area. They’re all big and have a good reputation. So tomorrow one of those companies is coming to check our stuff and give us a price.

Now, how dumb is that. On a scale of one to You’re Fired!

This land is my land

The bits and pieces we get to see in Europe about the elections in the US pretty much come down to this hilarious flash movie (work safe .. I think). Now who said politics ain’t funny?

Damn song is stuck in my head now.

Q&A

Borrowed from Chris, LT and a gazillion other bloggers (for some reason the Fanta slogan "Share the Fun!" is stuck in my head now)..

Answer the following questions in the comment box:
1. Who are you?
2. Have we ever met?
3. Give me a nickname and explain why you picked it.
4. Describe me in one word.
5. What reminds you of me?
6. If you could give me anything, what would it be?
7. Ever wanted to tell me something but couldn't?
8. Are you going to put this on your weblog and see what I say about you?
9. What do you love like a fat kid loves cake?
10. What makes you come back here?

Ha ha ha

Do you recognize a fake smile when you see one? Yeah, you really think? Take this BBC test to find out if you’re really a good judge of character!

I had 14 out of 20. Shamelessly borrowed from Brian.

The Virgin Heidi

“A German couple who went to a fertility clinic after eight years of marriage have found out why they are still childless - they weren't having sex.”

"We are not talking retarded people here, but a couple who were brought up in a religious environment who were simply unaware, after eight years of marriage, of the physical requirements necessary to procreate."

Have these people been living in a freakin’ egg shell???

But let’s do some math. I love math.

They’re German, so I presume they drive BMW (shut up). According to the statistics they “should” be having sex 2.2 times a week.

In the eight years they’re married they missed out on sex at least a total of 915.2 times. They ’re fucked screwed have a LOT of catching up to do.

Amen.

What do Seinfield, a chicken and Bush have in common?

Absolutely nothing, but here are a few links I stumbled upon this weekend to brighten up your Monday. Have fun!

The adventures of Superman & Seinfeld (snagged from Todd)
Subservient chicken A chicken that does what you tell him to do. VERY creepy.
Bush and Kerry related? Ahem.
(Both snagged from I think about this tomorrow)

Nadine recommends

Did you know your baby or young toddler can "speak" to you even when (s)he hasn't learned the ability to speak yet? I found out through the blog of Chris that sign language is a GREAT way to enable your young child to communicate with you.

Our 12 month old little Roo knows a few signs already "done" (with eating), "more" (food or drink) and "book/ reading". It was a great succes with our toddler Monkey (now 3, doesn't stop talking but stopped using signs) and we already have so much fun with Roo.

We used this book:

But there are more tools that help you
