Things that make me uncool

1.  I have severe minivan envy.  I want one.  BAD.  I can't get one until we NEED one though, especially since my husband's old (paid for) car died a few months back and we had to buy him a new one.  So, TWO car payments a month is not something we care to think about at the moment.  But oh my Lord, how the jealousy swells in my chest when I see a mom driving down the road in her Toyota Sienna, with two sliding doors and bucket seats.  Every time I heft my 30 lb toddler or my 23 lb infant over my head (literally) as I launch them into their carseats way up in the Tahoe, I close my eyes and drift off to my happy place where Will can climb up into my minivan by himself and the DVD player folds down from the roof.  I have it bad people.  

2.  I joined Twitter.  Like, 5 years late.  And I don't even do anything except stalk my favorite bloggers.  And I'm not even sure HOW to do some things.  And I don't ever tweet anything because I feel like I'm not cool enough to be clever and sassy.  Not that it matters since I don't have any followers.

3.  I stay home all day to let my kids nap.  I'm kind of militant about protecting their sleep.  I have no life as a result.

4.  I don't like either wine nor coffee.  So, I essentially have the beverage preferences of a high schooler.  I actually do feel pretty uncool for this one and fairly unsophisticated.  I do like how coffee SMELLS though.  So there's that.

5.  I really like Taylor Swift.  And young adult novels, particularly ones with vampires or magic or werewolves or other such pretend crap.  So, what I'm saying is, my entertainment standards did not mature past high school.

6.  A significant portion of my wardrobe came from Costco.

7.  I enjoy watching Bob the Builder building things.

I'm going to stop with that especially sad last one.  I've accepted my uncoolness.  You could say I'm "cool with it."  Especially since I managed to snag a pretty awesome guy for a husband despite my lacking coolness, and made AWESOME babies with him.  They think I'm the best thing ever when I snuggle up on the couch with my Diet Pepsi in my Costco t-shirt to watch Bob the Builder.  Turns out I'm pretty cool by toddler standards.

I would follow you on twitter! I think your mad writing skills cancel out the fact that you like Taylor Swift - haha. (for the record, I never leave the house & am a nap nazi too so maybe I can relate a little too much)

LMAO. You are uncool. LOL.

But really, what's the diff between bob the builder and holmes on homes - so we will always have that. But you should try some Malbec wine. Spicy! Seriously funny.
