Debbie Downer

So, quick story. I was on the phone with Debbie P. (my blessed, holy mother) a while back, and I made mention of someone being a "Debbie Downer" and she stopped me and goes, "WHERE did that come from?" And I laughed and laughed. She continued "I feel like I'm a really positive person, so I don't think that applies to me." And I continued to laugh and told her that I thought it came from an SNL skit, but I was met with resistance (when I retold this story). But, per Wikipedia, Debbie Downer DID, in fact, originate on SNL.

However, I made a vow to my mom that I would do my DAMNDEST to eradicate that term, or at the very least remove any reference of her name when attached to DOWNER.

NO WORK FOR ME TODAY!

Happy Birthday to me!

This is Butters Stotch (named after our favorite South Park character), the newest member of our little family, and my birthday present from Mike!

We brought him home yesterday, after adopting him from our local Humane Society Outreach
event. He and Maddie are almost BFFs already. But he still gets a little jumpy when Maddie gets too excited.


I kind of love him and think he's adorable. He's pretty fearless, and really chill. I need to invest in a squirt bottle because he's already terrorizing one of my houseplants.

Also - Happy Birthday Momma P. !!

The best mom a girl can ask for.
