But aside from that, she's still completely normal
Really quick so I can get it in at 8 –
I just spent the last half hour trying to explain why Bleach, a show on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim, is inappropriate for my oldest son.
I had to use the words 9 year old, cartoon, and panties in the same sentence. That should never happen.
Considering I grew up with the Smurfs, I understand why my 77 year old mother doesn’t get it, but sheesh! I’m trying to do blogathon here. And with THAT – I’m grabbing my dinner.
As I mentioned before, I really need a new swimsuit. The two suggestions I got were to check out Land’s End, and Target.
I did check out Land’s End – and I liked them, especially for their super gut sucking capabilities. Unfortunately, they’re a little out of my price range at the moment.
As for Target, I came down to 1. This one. That’s it, for various reasons.
I’m going to check out some other stores too – I have Amazon Prime, so I can potentially get free second day shipping, which would be nice.
I took some quizzes to see what my superhero name would be, ’cause I was having trouble coming up with one myself. And twitter and facebook peeps were no help, ’cause there was no input (y’all are slackin’ on me today of all days. Again, I say don’t schedule blogher and blogathon at the same time. Most of my tribe is in Chicago eating Cheeseburgers, bowling, arguing, and taking pictures.)
Here’s what we came up with:

Alright. The minor emergency might not be so minor… But my dad’s on the case and I can get back to work over here.
Lizzie (@lizzieshome asked:
@sparksfley Okay, question – You’re back in high school. It’s the same old school politics that drive you crazy. Would you pull a Carrie?
Wow. Obviously, we have to pretend that I have the powers. So, let’s pretend I do. Although for all you know I have superpowers that I must keep secret in order to keep my cover identity intact.
Now, do I use the powers? God that’s a hard question. The answer should be “No! Of course not! We use our powers for good, not evil.”
But I lived through high school.
I’m going to say that the answer is no, coming from an adult perspective. But I don’t speak for my teenage self without the big picture perspective.
That may be my new tagline… Don’t make me go Carrie on you.
And the last question from Amy.
Is sunscreen that is SPF 50 REALLY the best???
SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor. In theory, an SPF of say, 30, should mean that you do not burn until you’ve had 30x as much sun exposure as when you would have burned. 50 would be 50x. This varies according to the various factors… Someone’s skin type, when they’re reapplying, if they’re swimming or doing sports, etc.
So, yes. It is better IF it’s being applied properly, reapplied every two hours. And I should probably note that you should use sunglasses, hats, and long clothing to protect from the sun. But in answer to your question. Yes. It’s better. A little.
