Y chromosome

Y Chromosome

So here it is. I caught Munchkin on the toilet with his View Master.

It truly MUST be something in the Y chromosome that produces the insatiable need for entertainment while one is sitting on the pot. There were men in my family (I’m not mentioning names) who used to sit and read the Sears catalogue on the pot. I worked at a hedge fund in NYC where I witnessed many a men coming out of the bathroom with their thumbs flying across their Blackberry…because we know absolutely NOTHING can wait until you get back to your desk from your potty break.

I don’t know women who do this. I don’t take reading material or my phone to the bathroom with me. Who knows, maybe that’s just because I don’t have time. I rarely (if ever) get to even go in there by myself anymore, much less take 30 minutes to answer emails or pick out my spring wardrobe. Although, maybe if I had a View Master with some picture wheels of George Clooney or Hugh Jackman I could find the time.

I create fun and colorful flashcards for children. When you do that long enough, you begin to see the world as a series of flashcards. Sometimes they are funny. Sometimes they are warm and fuzzy. Sometimes they are mildly innappropriate. Come see the snark at The Flashcard Zoo Blog.

I used to be an opera singer living it up in NYC. Now I am a SAHM in Dallas starting a business making amazing custom flashcards for preschoolers. I decided I would rather sing in my shower and have a home business than sing in an opera house 1000 miles away from my family. My sugar-daddy is a computer consultant. I gave birth to Munchkin 1.0 in July of 2005 in less than 3 hours with no meds. WOOHOO! It's my claim to fame. AND I taught my husband to squeegy the glass after every shower with no pain meds...although it took longer than 3 hours and was much more painful. I don't really care for cats...they're too moody and I don't like that much competition. (There is only room for one diva in this house.) I like dogs as long as their bark sounds like "WOOF" and not "yip". I hate wearing make-up and only do so when I am auditioning or otherwise need to impress people who might give me money. I cook a full breakfast every morning complete with pancakes or waffles or French toast with sausage or bacon and eggs...all organic, of course. I'm weird that way. OH, and I also live in the cul-de-sac, which is French for "the house with the huge backyard".
