Proof I am even less cool than you thought I was...

What did I give to my Valentine? A lame Mix Tape.

Oh yeah, as I continue my downward spiral of coolness into what is known as parenthood and grownupishness, I celebrated Valentines day yesterday against Mel's wishes.

I made today's equivalent of the legendary Mix Tape of the 80s. I took her shuffle, recorded an intro in mp3 and loaded it with mushy songs I thought she would like. Am I lame or what? Even worse, it snowed yesterday so she didn't listen to it on her drive in until today.

Good thing Ian and I snuck out and picked up new shoes for the gals in our house. Reagan got some cool sandals and Mel a pair of cool sneaks that she pointed out in Lucky Magazine to me. Yeah, I am that kind of thoughtful, sensitive man.

I even wrote a Haiku for her. I was in a haiku mood, I wrote one to make a friend smile so I thought I would do one for Mel as well. haiku's rock just as much now as they did back in 3rd grade.

Hope your Valentines Day was the commercial success the retail industry was hoping you would have...

On a side note, this is year two of me doing something for Mel on V-day and her doing well, not as much. Perhaps it is not me that thinks the holiday is a sham, it is her!

Ian goes Punk

It, of course is my fault. You could say that about most anything. But this, this is pure genius. Yesterday, he and I were headed to get haircuts. He says, "what kind of haircut are you getting Daddy?". I give my stock answer, "mohawk". He giggles and says, "me too, we'll be twins." He is smiling ear to ear. Next comes the part where I carefully extract myself from getting said mohawk. He says, "i don't care I am getting a mohawk." I saw ok thinking Mel will never allow. She says ok.

Five minute update

Sorry, 5 is all you get today...ok at least for now. Here are the top stories from the past week: Thanksgiving. What happens when you don't see family and don't eat Turkey? Not so bad, sorry family. We had a blast watching the parade in NYC, it was a beautiful warm day. The kids and mostly Mel enjoyed the floats and balloons. We'll be back next year. You can see a slide show of the images mel took, far too many up to the right -----> Best quote at a concert, Best thing to happen to my brother in front of me, "Sir, would you buy me a beer?" -underage girl at State Radio Concert. Probably the last 18 and older show we go to. Save the security team, we were the oldest folks there... And FYI, Rob didn't buy her one, what a good guy. Then we talked about if we'll still come to these concerts if Reagan happens to go to the same one... We decided she isn't leaving the house watching some young girl crowd surf... Prickly Pear is out of the water....
