#7<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

It\u2019s Friday, and guess what? The Ogre is coming to visit us this week!<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Liam<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
will be a year old on Thursday, and the Ogre is coming in so we can celebrate the little man\u2019s birthday right!\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I\u2019m pretty pumped. I can\u2019t believe how much I miss my husband. Being without him is like being without one of my lungs; I just can\u2019t breathe right unless he\u2019s around.\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
#5<\/div>\n
Not That I\u2019m Dramatic About It<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
or anything.\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
#4<\/div>\n
Speaking of Dramatic<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
in a fit of whimsy, or perhaps delusion, I accepted my eldest daughter\u2019s dare to jump off the highest surface of the playground this morning, a la Maman Incroyable.<\/i>\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It was a lot higher than it looked.\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
#3<\/div>\n
Right Before I Jumped I Thought, \u201cI Wonder if This Will Hurt?\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Um, yes. But frakking<\/i> yes.\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I actually thought that I had fractured my foot, but since I can walk on it, I guess it\u2019s okay.\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It still hurts. Even right this second. And I don\u2019t even get sympathy for it because I jumped off playground equipment in platform flip-flops on the dare of a five-year-old<\/i>.\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Nobody feels sorry for someone that stupid.\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
#2<\/div>\n
I\u2019m Listening To\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
these guys to make myself feel better. I also listen to them when I\u2019m happy, when I\u2019m angry, when I\u2019m confused, and when I\u2019m awake.\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Actually my obsession with Mumford and Sons is becoming, ahh\u2026unseemly.\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The thing is, they\u2019re the best band that ever lived. I stumbled across this post<\/a> yesterday, and my estimation of them only shot higher than the stratosphere it was already in. They are brilliant, their lyrics are meaningful and full of excellent references, their music is simply outstanding, but boy oh boy, are they cute.\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Oh my gosh.\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I wish they weren\u2019t so cute, actually, because I\u2019m a married woman here. Jeez, guys. Take it down a notch, will you?\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
#1<\/div>\n
Additionally\u00a0<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
See what I mean? How cute is \u00a0he?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
I firmly believe that this guy is going to single-handedly rescue the name Marcus from the pit of uncoolness into which it has fallen for the last several decades. And that\u2019s something we should all applaud, right? Marcus is a cool name. It\u2019s Latin, guys! It\u2019s centuries old. We can\u2019t let one of the oldest and most admirable names in the world fall into such degrading obscurity.\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Cheers, Marcus Mumford. Way to be. Maybe I\u2019ll name my next son after you.\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
(But only if you promise to make regular appearances at his birthday parties. Bring the whole band, ok?)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Happy Weekend, everyone! Go and see Jen<\/a> for more quick takes! Oh, and since I\u2019m thinking about pain right now, here\u2019s a little something to make you laugh, from someone who was obviously also thinking about pain.\u00a0<\/div>\n
