that's me!

apparently there was some confusion in our household over which room was mine. even though we have only two bedrooms, i figured the crib would be a dead giveaway. but my grandma decided to buy some letters for my wall that spelled my name, and my grandpa larry put them up for me. my lazy dad contributed his part by coloring in the letters in photoshop, a process that still took him like two days to complete. he said the white-on-white was hard to see in the original photo, but i have a feeling he doesn't want to actually have to paint the letters and did this instead, so people just think the letters are painted that way. DON'T FALL FOR HIS LIES!

shut your face!

this is what happens when you bug me too much: i tell you to shut it! "when are you going to walk, mailee?" "when are your unintelligible babbling noises going to make some sense, mailee?" "when are you going to get a job, mailee?" SHUT IT! and you know i must be mad, because it usually takes both arms for me to hold myself up like this, but i risked falling over just so i could use one arm to say, "SHUT IT!"

oh, p.s.: i had to turn on the "comments verification system" so that stupid spammers couldn't leave any more comments on my blog. that's right, blog comment spammers: SHUT IT!

eat this!

grandpa didn't believe me that my butterfly rings had the flavorful tang that only well-manufactured plastic can produce, so i had to prove it to him -- by shoving them in his mouth. right after that, i said, "high five, gramps!" but it came out as, "bah bah, bah!", so i don't think he understood me. there's nothing worse than when your grandpa leaves you hangin'.

i'm back!

i know it has been a while since i last posted. did you miss me? my apologies -- first my grandma came into town, and then my grandpa larry visited. we were very busy -- too busy, in fact, to update this blog. not that that was a good enough excuse for my mom, who wouldn't stop with the questions. "when are you updating the blog?" "how come i don't have any mailee updates?" i can't be "on" all the time, you know? plus i'm tired at night, ok, car-- i mean, ok, mommy? geez. anyway, this photo was taken on the day that mommy and grandma had brunch with a bunch of mommy's friends at our apartment. i got to sit on the floor in the middle, with everyone sitting around me, in what is commonly referred to as an "estrogen circle." meanwhile, daddy was in his bedroom watching every NFL game on satellite tv and rooting for his fantasy football players, in what he called the "testosterone zone." (daddy has no friends.)

get in my belly!

so i was trying to think of what i want to be for halloween, and i decided on this: pregnant britney spears! see, i found a tank top in the same size britney wears, and i got some low-rise shorts to match my low-rise diaper. i even shunned footwear, just in case i found myself in a disgusting public bathroom. if you'd like to go trick-or-treating with me as my skeezy backup-dancing leech of a husband, let me know!
