orichalcum at 12:09pm on 11/02/2008 under baby media1. I was listening to the radio today, and there was a Valentine's ad, with an initial bit of cute if cliched patter, before it got strange.
Female Voice: "I don't really want anything special, honey; just get me something you know I'll like!"
Male Voice: "Does that mean 'chocolates'? I think that mean chocolates."
Announcer Voice: "You'll be able to find just the right thing for Valentine's Day this season at Dominick's, your favorite local grocery store. We have pot roast on sale at $1.49 per pound!"
So, I don't even really celebrate Valentine's Day (by compromise we celebrate February 17th instead), but dude, if my s.o. gave me _raw pot roast_ as a romantic gift? There would be words. Unromantic words. Just because I'm Irish and Jewish doesn't mean I think there's nothing sweeter than pot roast.
2. In _Parenting_ magazine this month (OMG, I sound like such a yuppie mom in these posts), there was an article about proper hair products and treatments for your baby and toddler. It included the recommendations that, if your child has a cowlick, you should blow-dry it straight and then use styling gel to either flatten it down or spike it up.
Somehow, I missed the part of my day where I was supposed to be blowdrying and gelling up the hair of my 17-month old. I'm such a bad and lazy mom.
