Bad Moms Love All That And A Bag Of Chips (Take Two)

Remember how I told you about this?

My husband made this. It's part of a contest. Most views wins. It'd be awesome if he won. Yes, this is shameless spousal promotion. You want to make something of it?

(It's my blog and I'll pimp if I want to.)

(Seriously, though: it's a dog. With chips. What's not to love?)

(Pass it on.)

Bad Moms Ain't Too Proud To Squee (Twilight Saga: Eclipse Trailer! CONTAIN YOURSELVES)

Why pretend that I am not just a little bit overwhelmed by squee at the full (full! longer than ten seconds!) trailer for the new Twilight movie, Eclipse? Why not embrace the shameful truth? Why not just squee loudly and proudly and suffer the scorn that inevitably comes with being a thirty-something mom with a squee-on for love stories involving clinically depressed vampires? WHY NOT, I ASK?

BEHOLD:

Bad Moms Are Kind Of Drawn To Sparkly Vampires And Don't Care Who Knows It

Around here, we don't call ourselves Twilight Moms because, you know, that's a little bit too specific, seeing as we are, in addition to being keen appreciators of the Edward form, also fans of Buffy and Spike and Angel, and True Blood (the books more than the show), and the characters from Kelley Armstrong's Otherworld series, and also Bram Stoker and Mary Shelley and basically anything kind of dark and gothy and so we usually refer to ourselves as Goth Playdaters or some such. No plasma in the sippy cups, though. That would be weird.

All of this is to say that we are really kind of excited about the teaser for the new Twilight movie, Eclipse (which, are they calling it Twilight: Eclipse? Because that would be confusing, not to mention astronomically impossible) but not so excited that we're squeeing.

Okay, maybe we're squeeing. I mean, look:

Bad Moms Run On More Than Just Espresso

Yesterday, we arrived backhome from Orlando after completing our Tiarathon roadtrip (courtesy of GM Canada thankyouverymuch). Today, the word 'exhausted' doesn't even cover half of what we are feeling.

What is it about taking a vacation with children that makes one declare 'I need a vacation to recover from my vacation'? Oh right, the children.

I need a vacation.

Princesses Of The Day, Mean Girls Edition

We just got back from our GM Canada-sponsored trip to Disney World, where, contrary to expectation, we didn't commune with any princesses. Sure, Cinderella waved at us, and Snow White ambled by with her coterie of dwarfs, but the girls didn't insist upon hanging out with them, which is kind of a good thing, I guess, because seriously, have you seen this? MEAN GIRLS!

Bad Moms Love Vampires And Also The Man Your Man Could Smell Like

I realize that I'm probably the last person on earth to see the latest Old Spice commercial - you know, the one with the man your man could smell like? - but I saw it for the first time a few days ago, and I haven't stopped laughing since. Up until now I really didn't think that I'd find anything better on the 'net this week, but.

But!

Bad Moms Love Talk Show Hosts Who Make Wishes Come True

Have you heard about 'Crying Cody', the three-year-old girl whose mother posted a video of her sobbing over Canadian pop star Justin Bieber on YouTube? The video took off like wildfire - nearly two million people have watched Cody shed many a tear over Justin in less than a month - and even folks who don’t really know (or care) about Justin Bieber (like me!) have got to admit that Cody is pretty freakin’ adorable.

Elmo Breaks It Down On The Wendy Williams Show

Did anyone catch the Wendy Williams Show the other day? Elmo was a special guest on the show, and if you were watching, you probably saw his totally awesome rendition of the show's theme song, complete with special vocal effects and backup dancers.

If you're like me and didn't see the episode, then check this awesomeness out:

Vladimir Putin, Baby-Whisperer?

Vladimir Putin is the former President of the Russian Federation and current Prime Minister of Russia and he is a pretty well rounded guy with a truly impressive resume. More impressive than yours.

Not only is he an experienced politician and former KGB agent but he is also:

Bad Moms Are Patriotic: Patriotic For BACON CAKE

Does anything scream Canada more than bacon?

Okay, maybe maple syrup, hockey, toques, and beavers, but bacon definitely rounds out the top five. And both my daughter and I love eating eating bacon with maple syrup on the side while wearing toques and watching hockey, so, you know, we're a pretty patriotic family.
