HAiRCUT!

Haircuts aren't for blogposts. I get that. But let's make an exception here.

So I'm getting my $14 haircut and the lady says "how do you part your hair?" I tell her I don't, unless I'm going to a wedding or something. She still throws a handful of gel on my head and combs out a coif that Grandpa would've been proud of.

Of course I immediately looked 10 years older (which would now make me look 25), so when I get home I practice some "Dad" poses for the years to come.

Here, Junior has said something intriguing, but I'll still probably answer his/ her question with either "No" or "What did your mother say?"

In this classic pose, Junior has just finished telling a ripping yarn about something or other, I wasn't really paying attention... something reminded me of how funny that Hi & Lois was from earlier today.

Obviously Junior has done something that I don't agree with here. He/ She will have to kneel on some grits in the corner to think about what he/ she has done. "And clean up those grits after your time's up."

"I'll have to think about it."

At least they're honest

"Hey, how's that new Chinese place near you?"
"It's just okay."

The cupcake to end all cupcakes

Erinn, Kristen and I braved the 66 degree temperatures to wait in line for 30 minutes at Sprinkles in Beverly Hills. We weren't on the guest list to go right to the front of the line. The wait was brutal, especially with the nastiness emanating from the neighboring La Salsa.

Finally made it home with our two boxes. Either my driving was bad or Kristen couldn't keep from picking at her selection.

Erinn expertly halving the pumpkin cupcake.

Kristen expertly eating her cupcakes with a fork. Those New Englanders are so proper. I ate mine with my fingers.

Happy New Year

I put together a changing table the other day. I think I put it together correctly. I mean, the directions and I were in the same room, but there was a game on, so who knows if it'll hold. I didn't get up there to test it out, but she looks sturdy enough.

See? Sturdy as a mule. Those canvas baskets must weigh at least 8 ounces each.

Mother Nature came knocking last night.

For those that want to see how Erinn's looking, we don't have any recent pictures. But this was from last year after we sat in the All You Can Eat seats at Dodger Stadium so you can use your imagination.
