Drinks Reflect Personality

Before you order a drink in public you should read this. Seven New York City bartenders were asked if they could nail a woman's personality based on what she drinks. Though interviewed separately, they concurred on almost all counts. The results:

WOMAN DRINKS AND WHO THEY ARE.

Drink: Beer
Personality: Causal, low-maintenance; down to earth.
Your Approach: Challenge her to a game of pool.

Drink: Blender Drinks
Personality: Flaky, whiny, annoying; a pain in the ass.
Your Approach: Avoid her, unless you want to be her cabana boy.

Drink: Mixed Drinks
Personality: Older, more refined, high maintenance, has very picky taste; knows EXACTLY what she wants.
Your Approach: You won't have to approach her. If she's interested, she'll send YOU a drink......

Drink: Wine (does not include White Zinfandel)
Personality: Conservative and classy; sophisticated yet giggles.
Your Approach: Tell her you love to travel and spend quiet evenings with my friends.

Drink: White Zinfandel
Personality: Easy; thinks she is classy and sophisticated, actually, she has NO clue.
Your Approach: Make her feel smarter than she is..this should be an easy target.

Drink: Shots
Personality: Likes to hang with pals and looking to get totally drunk... and naked.
Your Approach: Easiest hit in the joint. You have been blessed. Nothing to do but t wait, however, be careful not to make her mad!

Drink: Tequila
No explanations required - everyone just KNOWS what happens there.


MAN DRINKS & WHO THEY ARE

The deal with guys is, as always, very simple and clear cut:

Domestic Beer: He's poor and wants to get laid.
Imported Beer: He likes good beer and wants to get laid.
Wine: He is hoping that the wine will give him a sophisticated image to help him get laid.
Whiskey: He doesn't give a damn about anything but getting laid.
Tequila: He is thinking he has a chance with the toothless waitress.
White Zinfandel: He's gay.

Potty training

So, I'm starting to get the BabyCenter emails (got them weekly during pregnancy and get them weekly now about Carson's age/progress) about potty training. Really? Already? They do have some good info, but I'm not sure we're ready for this stage yet. They say you can potty train in 10 steps. There is also a checklist to determine when the kiddo is ready to start. Then there are specific tips for boys vs girls. That's probably a good thing. I have read these articles many times, and each time Carson seems to get one more thing on the checklist.

The funniest part about this whole deal is that Carson is now obsessed with "poo poo." He likes to point it out when the dogs are going then go find it to point it out to me. Yes, Carson, I know there is stinky poo poo there. Yes, Carson, I know the doggie did it. Yes, Carson, I know it was Potter or Lily (he tells me which one did it). Cracks me up! Referring to a previous post, he likes to follow behind me and "help" with picking up poo poo - which is technically supposed to be Tanner's job.

The other day, I asked Carson if he was "poopy" and he will usually answer correctly. Believe me, it usually smells bad enough for you to know the right answer. He turned around and stuck his booty in my face for me to double check, and I was right. Made me laugh! He will sometimes pull at his diaper when he is poopy or he will let me know he needs a new diaper from being wet if I ask. Oh, the joys!

Peyton's 5th birthday/water party

We had a BLAST at Peyton's 5th birthday party. It was so much fun to play in the blow up water park. I want one!! I told Cj we should do that for my birthday this year. Woo hoo! They had extra swimmies, so Carson had a grand old time. He's such a water baby. Then, I kept getting in to check on him. I decided by this point that I was wet enough, and I took Carson down the water slides in my clothes. It was great! I love being a fun mom!!

National Geographic pics

I got these photos, and I love seeing mommies and babies in nature. It warms my heart to know these wild animals have motherly instincts. I think about my baby at home and how much I love him. What a blessing it is to be a mom and have a happy, healthy baby to love, hold, snuggle, kiss, laugh with... I could go on and on.
