It's Cinco de Mayo and I'm Breaking My 6 Months of Silence

Yep, it's really Cinco de Mayo and it's really been 6 months. Where have I been? I could be creative and make up some yarn about me as a secret agent and being away on a special mission. The problem is that I am not that creative and (sadly enough) not a secret agent. As I pride myself as being a pretty honest person, I shall expose the truth: the Suburban Rock Mom is lazy. Very lazy. How lazy? You don't want to know. Put it this way, bears and I have a lot in common during the winter.

So, it's now spring (almost summer in fact) and I have made it out of my cozy cave to regale you with some of my witty prose. Well, at least I hope you find it witty. Surprisingly, I have had many blogposts in my head over the past several months, but none made it out of my brain. So, this is your lucky day. Actually, it's my kid's lucky day as I am too occupied at the moment to tell him (for the upteenth time) to clean up his Legos. Ahhh, the pleasures of motherhood--so glamourous, so adventurous.

During my self-imposed exile, I have learned a few things I'd like to share:

1. "Lost" is highly addictive and it is possible to watch seasons 1-5 to catch up in time for the last few episodes.

2. Web cams are cool.

3. My child throwing up in his big, plastic Lego bin is not the grossest thing I've seen lately--him throwing up in his laundry hamper (full of clothes) is. Really.

4. 41 is the new 21.

5. Lady Gaga is pretty darn amazing. Gotta love the fashions. Okay, you really don't.

6. Yes, I had another gem to share with you. No, I can't remember what the heck it was.

You know, it's been liberating writing my thoughts down again. I think I've missed it. Hope you have too.

Stay tuned for my adventures in figuring out to use my new-fangled iPod, my review on Slash's new CD, and my claim that Fanny were the first rock-chicks. Sorry, Runaways and Suzi Quatro--y'all rock and I love you guys!

Until next time, keep it on "11"...
