Enter Sandman

My hubby loves to download random stuff, and tonight he downloaded karaoke songs. Now.. if you don't know it my husband is a musician. So when he downloads karaoke, me and Peanut love listening to him sing. Peanut does her little spin dance and sometimes I join in with him on a song. When he sings, sometimes what he thinks are the lyrics are completely different or he just sings to the tune of words (if that makes sense). It's like singing La Cucaracha, you know the tune so you throw in whatever Spanish you may know. Unless you're Carmen.
So tonight he sang Enter Sandman by Metallica:

Say your prayers, little one
Don't forget, my son,
To include everyone

Tuck you in, warm within
Keep you free from sin
Till the sandman he comes

"Oh! So that's what it's about!" he then said.
I just love him.

The song after that was Annicka-Dido. Let me quickly explain. Czech has their own version of American Idol, and it's called Česko hledá SuperStar. The last season there was a girl on there named Annicka who sang "Thank You" by Dido. Not only did she sing off tune, but it's like she didn't even know the tune. Although the entire video is in Czech, it's hilarious to watch the entire thing.

Christmas Baking and Justin Timberlake

Too bad the title isn't Christmas Baking WITH Justin Timberlake..
Yes, I have a guilty pleasure. It's Justin. Not so much his music, but him hosting SNL. SNL is another childhood favourite I never shook off, but I really indulge in it when he's hosting. He really puts himself out there... far more than other hosts (except for Natalie Portman! Love her!)
Plus..the digital short he did was hilarious. Even my husband laughed! And it's hard to make him laugh.. he more or less chuckles. Umm.. the tune is catchy... (you're welcome!)

In mother news.. I baked. Peanut stole a lot of cookie mix, got flour on her face, licked my measure cup that I used for baking cocoa and went "NUMMY!". Ugh. If you have her site.. I hope you check it out for yourself. She was a mess today. Had so much sugar she had no nap.

PS. A big thank you goes to Carmen for lunch yesterday! Biba's was an excellent choice for a place to eat. :)

Word of the month: NO!

We should've never taught the word "No" to Peanut because it's become her favourite. Everything is "NO!". When she does want something she says "noooooooooooo" but when she doesn't want something she says "No! No! No! No!". Sometimes you can hear her in the crib when she has her morning chats with the stuffed animals.
But I wonder.. if she says no all the time in English, what would she say in Czech? Well.. she'd say "Ne" (neh), and I realized.. she says that too. But if we were German it'd be cute, "Nein! Nein!" and if we were Thai, it'd be "mai chai". My favourite would be French..."Non! Non!", and then she'd slap me and we'd all laugh about it later.
However, we're stuck with no and ne, and that's ok. I have a feeling "MINE!" will be next.

My hubby is all better now, after 3 days I convinced him to do a shot of Pepto which he chased it down with a shot of absynthe. Ironically it's the same cure his grandmother uses for stomach ailments.

My hubby and his bug

Now my hubby is sick. I don't know if he has what Peanut had or the Chinese buffet offered a lot more than sweet and sour chicken. But it's pretty gross. I feel bad for him, but it's really hard to keep a straight face because he thinks he's dying. He was reassured that noone has ever died from diarrhea (cha-cha-cha), but me and my big mouth explained what dysentery is. So he told me to tell his mother that he loves her, he says there should be a paycheck in the mail soon, and that he wants to be buried as he is.
"Honey, you don't have dysentery, I'm pretty sure of it. It's probably just a 24 hour bug."
"Bug? I have a bug? Where is it?"
(me laughing uncontrollably because he's serious) "I think it's in your arm, best if we cut it out now."
"Oh, shit, really? It's an actual bug? A real bug inside of me? Is it big? I thought it was just my stomach! Not a bug!"
"Honey!! It's just a figure of speech, we say it's a bug but it's really a virus. Not a real bug."
"Damn Suzanne, if you mean a bug, say bug.. if you mean virus, say virus. Who calls a bug a virus?"
Mind you... his word virus comes out "wirus" because of his accent. I love being married to a Czech! They're so fun. :)

Bad habits

Have you ever wanted to know your bad habits, but too afraid to ask? Have a kid. Suddenly you have a mirror of yourself.

Sick baby and randomation

I had a sick Peanut yesterday and let me just tell you that it's amazing what Mother Nature does. The things that come out of babies are pretty gross, but your concern for your child is so strong that it doesn't phase you. Daddies gag, Mommies keep trucking. Peanut was so sick that her inner Kermit was summoned and her skin actually turned green.
She's doing much better today and is currently walking around with Mickie and putting things over his head. I'm sure he's terribly pleased that she's all better... I know I am. :)

Just some random things to throw your way:

Matt Damon does a bang-up job on impersonating his friend Matthew McConaughy (via yesbutnobutyes)

Bzzzpeek - Sounds of animals and vehicles from around the world done by people in their native tongue. Dogs here in America say "Woof woof!" but in Czech they learn to say "Huff huff!" The same goes for cows.. ours say "Moo!" theirs say "Boo!".

33 Things You Never Knew Had Names - and some Czech words to go along with that is Nedovtipa which means a person that can't take a hint and Přesezený is to be stiff from sitting in the same position for too long

10 Most Bizarre People - That just speaks for itself.

Grey Gardens

I'm a HUGE fan of Grey Gardens. I'm not sure how I first heard about it.. but I had read it somewhere before seeing the movie. Suddenly, TMC aired the original documentary of it and I was giddy (giddy I tell you!).
Me and Peanut watched it the next day during nap time, and neither of us fell asleep. My Peanut is a film connoisseur much like her Mama. I fell in love with Little Edie (not so much Big Edie, she was scary to me) and her "revolutionary costume of the day".
Recently they turned this documentary into a musical and put it on broadway... which if you see the video, isn't half bad. They took all the footage of the Maysles Brothers and stemmed from it a show that critics are loving.
But now... now... there will be a new remake starring Drew Barrymore as Little Edie and Jessica Lange as Big Edie. Which kind of scares me because, I love Drew, but her movies are hit and miss. Anyways.. it's supposed to be the years leading up to the mother and daughter duo becoming recluses in their Long Island home that they shared with 52 cats, fleas, and vermin.

Czech word of the day happens to be Peanut's new word for the day: delej! delej! Go! Go!
