Turn the radio on
When I moved to Pennsylvania, I lost my CD case. I hoped it may have been misplaced and would eventually show up but after living 3 months in my new apartment, I have come to term with the fact that my CDs are gone.
If you have any of these CDs, send me a copy (PLEASE!):
Macy Gray - On How Life Is
Green Day - American Idiot
Jack Johnson - In Between Dreams
Jack Johnson - Songs from Curious George
13 Going on 30 Soundtrack
50 First Dates Soundtrack
Relient K - MMHMM
Relient K - The Anatomy of a Tongue in Cheek
Jack's Mannequin - This is a Story
John Legend - Get Lifted
Something Corporate - Audioboxer
The Killers - Hot Fuss
Live - Secret Samadhi
:( I know! This is a list of really good CDs. Now you can see why I didn't want to admit they were lost for good.

Boys will be boys
When I was in Louisville for Sarah's wedding, I was chilling in front of the TV when a commercial for Tonka trucks aired. The television featured a little boy playing with his bright yellow truck and a mother voiced over, "Let's face it boys are built differently" and then the commercial's tag line read "Tonka: Built for boyhood".
OMG! Seriously!
Yes, a boy has a penis but his penis does not require him to play with trucks. It also does not predetermine that he will like trucks. A vagina does not mean you don't like trucks either.
We are talking about children - moldable young children who have yet to be formed in chauvinistic males. I can hear the grunting now.
What if you have a son that does not like trucks? Is your son less of a male? Is your daughter a bit masculine because she likes to push a toy truck around the floor? How much are we damaging our children when we only let them play with certain toys? If they have an interest in the nongender approved toys, do we let them know that this means something is wrong with them.
They are children! Boycott Tonka. Check out their website and send them comments. Girls can play with trucks; some girls even like dirt; and some boys don't.

Sorry
Wow, I have not posted in a long time. I have been busy but I am going to try to post more regularly. Beat me up or give me a gentle reminder if I don't.
