Menno Simons

Its a well-known fact that the Kitchener-Waterloo region has a pretty substantial Mennonite population. Last week I saw a Mennonite woman wearing an awkward-length floral dress with puffy shoulders with heavy work boots and it came across as more riot grrrl than religious minority. Anyways, this outfit is minimally inspired by some of the Mennonites I see around town while running errands. The skirt might be a bit scandalous but everything else looks I just finished up my farm chores. So maybe I dress more like a Mennonite than I care to admit, but that's okay.

BSOW: I'll Meet Your Asparagus & Raise You a Turnip Green

Put on your dancing shoes and hit the ballroom floor for today's Best Scoop of the Week. Whether she is dealing with camera face,  struggling with her mirror image, or debating coffee, she manages to do it with humor.

She blogs about her selfless acts of love, gives motherhood words of wisdom, writes letters to celebrities, does the movies in full mommy style, and deals with the potty mouth only known by mothers of boys.

Who is this eclectic blogger you ask? She who can spit out poems that rhyme in a single leaping post? Why, it's none other than Jen, who does The Mommy Mambo and scores a perfect 10 every time.

I asked Jen: "If you were a vegetable, which would you be and why?"

If I were a vegetable...

     

Well first off, I like to think of myself as more of a dessert: something to look forward to, treasure and

savor. Like a meticulously stacked parfait or a delicately molded truffle.

Now you can quit laughing and I'll quit living in that fantasy world where I sit upon a pedestal and grant pleasant wants and wishes to all my loyal subjects. As of this Friday I believe I must give up all delusions of that throne. Come Monday bachelorettes and daydreaming house wives the world over will weep.

So back to the produce isle...

I would love to tell you I'm most like the Asparagus, long and sleek with a perfectly arranged head of leaves like a perfect hair style of curls. A vegetable respected by all and often paired with the choicest entrees and arranged with great care upon fine china.

But I suppose I better resemble a Turnip; round in the middle with lovely purple striations around the center, a bushy chaos of sorts on top, and dwelling in the rough and rowdy dirt of life with my 4 men. You know that vegetable cooked with too much bacon fat and often served along-side ordinary sides like peas and cornbread and all too often served on a Dixie plate. A vegetable often misunderstood and pushed away by children, but good for the heart and soul none-the-less.

Yup. Thats me. A Turnip Green parading around pretending to be an asparagus. 

But now that I've though about it I realize, as a Southern woman, Turnip Greens make it to more happy family tables than do asparagus. Tables surrounded by large families and friends laughing, sharing, celebrating, or just feeding the soul. And many of those folks round those tables would argue that you can't have Thanksgiving or Easter dinner without the Greens.

Guess that makes me pretty important, huh? 

I know at least 3 little veggie niblets who would agree.

Isn't she fun? Go over and check her out already!! What are you waiting for?

Guest Post: Kmama Is In Da Howwwwwwwwse!!

I am very honored to have one of my favorite bloggers and top commentors here with us today. She writes with humor about her family on the fabulous Daily Dribbles and today, she is here to share her top 10 tricks on "How to Appropriately Plan Out a Child's Birthday Party". 

Give a hearty welcome to Kmama.

I'm here to provide a much-needed Public Service Announcement today.  If you are a parent or ever plan to be a parent, please listen (read) carefully.

My oldest son, Buddy, is reaching the age where he's starting to be invited to a lot of birthday parties.  This post could be about how annoying I find birthday parties for children, but I won't go there.  What I want to share with you is more important that my dislike of birthday parties.

Time and again, as Buddy is invited to a birthday party, we go through the typical routine.  I first ask him who the kids is, and more importantly, if he plays with and likes the kid.  Then I check our calendar and go through the various steps to RSVP.  If everything goes smoothly, we purchase a gift in time for the party, Buddy attends said party (and hopefully has fun), and we leave.

It should be an easy process.  But it's not.  Nothing ever goes smoothly when it comes to a child's birthday party.  So, to help alleviate all the issues, let me offer my list of How to Appropriately Plan Out a Child's Birthday Party.

1. Don't invite children not related to your child (i.e. school and neighborhood friends).

2. If you're down here at number 2, that means that you didn't listen to number 1.  Go back to number 1, reread it, and follow the directions.  Proceed to number 3 only if you wish to make the "shit list" of the other mothers.

3. For the love of all that is holy, please put your name on the invite when asking people to RSVP to you.  There's nothing more annoying than calling somewhere and asking "Can I please speak to, umm, [insert birthday child's name here]'s mom?"

4. On the same token, when asking someone to RSVP to your cell phone or email address, it's probably best to have a G-rated voice mail message and email address.  BigTTs (at) emailserver (dot) com doesn't exactly give a parent warm fuzzies.

5. Don't invite children of which your child is not a friend.  For one, it puts the parent of the invitee in an awkward position.  Do you force your child to go?  Second, it can create a hostile situation at the party when kids, as we all know that they do, form cliques and someone is always left out.

6. Have someone taking names and phone numbers from the parents when the children are dropped off.  If we arrive and I see several other children already there and I offer my name and phone number before leaving and you search high and low for a piece of paper to write it on, well, I might just take my child home with me.

7. It's bad etiquette to let your smoking friends be the greeters at your child's birthday party.  Nothing says "child friendly" quite like a big cloud of smoke.

8. If a parent asks for suggestions for a present, please, please, please do not say "Oh.  Anything would be great."  Really?  Because Jimmy wants a doll??

9. If you give a time frame for the party, try to stick to it.  Arriving to pick up a child and finding out that they have only just finished the games and they still have to eat, sing happy birthday, have cake, and open presents might make a parent hate you as they "stick around" waiting for all the festivities to end.

10. Karma is a bitch.  Don't forget that when you're buying the trinkets and  trash for the goody bags.  That includes whistles.  Whistles will  probably get your child blacklisted from every birthday party invite  list for the rest of their lives.

Harry Potter Crew and Cast Discuss Favorite Series Moments

I honestly can't pinpoint a favorite scene from the seven Harry Potter films that I've already viewed. But the cast and crew of these films sure can. Below is an interview panel that I found on Entertainment Weekly's website. These are adorable.

• While J.K. Rowling eventually revealed that Albus Dumbledore was gay, director Alfonso Cuarón apparently had a similar notion for the werewolf-y Remus Lupin (David Thewlis) inThe Prisoner of Azkaban. Explains Thewlis: “Alfonso Cuarón, in the rehearsals, without J.K. Rowling’s knowledge, told me that [my character] was, in fact, gay. So I’d been playing a part like a gay man for quite a long time. Until it turned out that I indeed got married to Tonks. I changed my whole performance after that. Just saw it as a phase he went through.”

• David Heyman explained that, after the producers made the decision to split Deathly Hallows into two films, screenwriter Steve Kloves thought there may be enough material in for three films. “But,” said Heyman with a wry smile, “I think that may be pushing it a little bit far.”

• The biggest change over the years was obviously how much the child actors have physically grown, but there were other changes too. “Dan was interested in World Wide Wrestling Federation to begin with,” said Heyman. “Now he’s interested in …” Robbie Coltrane jumped in: “Women.” Everyone agreed.

• When Michael Gambon signed on to replace the late Richard Harris as Albus Dumbledore in The Prisoner of Azkaban, he adopted a light Irish accent to match Harris’ inflections. But Gambon didn’t adopt every choice Harris made. “My first action when I got on the set was to go up a flight of stairs to a picture on the wall, and so I ran up the stairs,” Gambon explained. “And the costume department [said to me], ‘You shouldn’t be doing that, because Richard wouldn’t run up the stairs.’ So I ran faster.”

Finally, each of the panelists revealed one of their favorite scenes from the entire series:

Gambon: Standing on the dais in the Great Hall doing a long speech, “which I never quite knew, so they put it on big boards at the end of the hall so I could read it.”

Heyman: Harry flying the Hippogriff over the lake in Prisoner of Azkaban, and Harry and Hermione dancing in Deathly Hallows — Part 1.

David Barron, producer: The scene in The Sorcerer’s Stone, when the Dursley’s house is inundated with letters inviting Harry to Hogwarts.

Coltrane:

Wee baby dragon Norbert setting fire to Hagrid’s beard.

Warwick Davis: The Yule Ball in Goblet of Fire. “There were huge speakers under the stage, and literally the Great Hall was vibrating with the sound. And I got to stage dive — I only suggested that as a joke to [director] Mike Newell. Monday, he came back and said, ‘You know what you said on Friday? We’re going to do that.’”

Thewlis: When the films “become funny … against all the darkness,” like the opening scene of Prisoner of Azkaban “when the wicked aunt is inflated.”

Natalia Tena: Flying on bloomsticks. “You’re in this massive green room, really high up, on this movable [broom], and there’s these two sexy, strong guys blowing wind at you. It’s like you’re on a Harley or something.”

Oliver Phelps: Breaking director Mike Newell’s rib fighting on Goblet of Fire. “We were having a fight, and Mike said, ‘Who wants to fight me?’ And like I fool I said, ‘Oh, I will.’ ”

James Phelps: The Weasley’s joke shop in The Half-Blood Prince. “The detail that went into all the props was fantastic. I really just wanted to show everyone everything that was there.”

Evanna Lynch: The wedding scene in Deathly Hallows — Part 1. “You see in the background all these wizards, dancing. I don’t know, I’ve never been to a wizard wedding, but it was pretty cool.”

Freddie Stroma: While playing Quidditch in The Half-Blood Prince, he accidentally hit a costume designer on the head with a quaffle.

The final two contain BIG SPOILERS:

Bonnie Wright: The epilogue in Deathly Hallows — Part 2, “in which we jump forward in time. It was such a bizarre feeling. It was a complete cycle of a generation, because the young girl who was playing [Ginny's daughter] Lily Potter was 10, and it was her first ever experience on a film set, and I was her age when I started in exactly the same set, on Platform 9 and 3/4.”

Helen McCrory:

What she has to say about it is so lovely and so damn tantalizing, I’m going to quote it in full: ”Mine’s a cheat — I can’t really talk all about it, because you haven’t actually seen it yet. But the culmination of Harry looking at Voldemort, and all of us being present in that scene that we did with all those extras — they were really there, the place was on fire — it was extraordinary. The silence and the concentration at 10 o’clock on a cold, frosty morning, with that grey-blue light that we only have in rainy, rainy London town, and realizing that for one of those people, he had been waiting literally all his life to say those lines and finally stand up and to prove, in his character, that this character is a man fighting for what is good, was an extraordinary thing to witness. We filmed it in real time. It really happened, and it was a privilege to be there. It was electric.”

THE FIRST HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PART 2 TRAILER!

Words cannot express how excited I am for this. It's the end of a decade and a part of my childhood that has been forever altered by J.K. Rowling and Daniel Radcliffe. At the same time, I'm scared for the end. I could probably wait another year or two or three. So here it is Potter fans or Bellatrix fans (like me):

Governator WILL Be Back: Arnold Schwarzenegger Sign on to New Terminator Movie

No longer the "governator" of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger is getting back to his roots. No, not to Austria, but to the Terminator films that were his claim to fame. Yes, I'm talking about the films that led him to hit roles like Kidergarten Cop and Jingle All The Way. The 63-year-old actor is joining a new Terminator project headed up by Justin Lin (who has worked with several Fast and the Furious movies). Schwarzenegger has not appeared in a film since 2004.

PYHO: What Not to Wear

I like to think of myself as the non-judgmental type. I'm a laid-back, take-it-as-it-comes person. Most things I just let roll off my back, simply because they just aren't worth getting bothered over.

Yesterday though, I saw something that not only shocked me, but saddened me. It also made me want to cover Scooby's eyes, and he isn't even old enough to appreciate the scenery provided.

As I said, I'm not the judgmental type. However, yesterday, I found myself thinking,"OMG. What are her parents thinking?" That was swiftly followed by, "Do they even know?"

Yes, it was THAT shocking. At least, to me.

Scooby and I go to Chick-Fil-A every Tuesday night for family night while Jellybean is in dance class.

Family Night.

Yesterday, I noticed this 16 year old girl from the back. It was the first thing I saw of her. A black lace bra showed underneath a completely sheer back dress? top?. A sexy black lace bra, at that. I think it was more the combination of the racy bra with the sheer black back that was more shocking then either of them alone.

Until she turned around.

First thing to catch my eye was the cut down to the navel front that revealed her satin leopard print push up bra. Yeah. That was followed by a really cute iridescent blue-purple-pink flapper type dress without the fringes that barely made it past her underwear.

At least she had jeggings on, right?

What upset me the most was really not the top. It was the combination of her age, mixed with the fact that she appeared to have worn it to school (though, how she got around the dress code I'll never know).

Perhaps, on further reflection, she merely changed into after school was over. But still.

Her 2 friends were appropriately dressed like teenagers. She stuck out like a sore thumb. The poor child looked like a bonafide street walker. I worried about her safety, and she is not even my child.

Then, I worried that it could be MY child someday. We have discussed the choice of costume for so many of the pop stars today...Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and most notably for my daughter, Miley Cyrus.

I should be happy that she finds Miley Cyrus's camel toe showing contraption she struts on stage with indecent, but will she always?

I certainly hope so.

New 'Bridesmaids' Red Band Trailer

Ruffles, lace and Jon Hamm sex scenes? No, this is not one of THOSE films. This is the new comedy Bridesmaids set to come out May 13. With a cast of SNL and Office regulars and the producer of Knocked Up and Superbad, how can you go wrong? Well, if recent comedies have taught us anything...there's never a guarantee, no matter how many famous people you shove into one movie (cough Valentine's Day). Hopefully, it will not disappoint. The trailer sure didn't.

Top 5 Favorite Princess Movies

With the Royal Wedding coming up, fantasy is in the air. Every little girl dreams of being a princess (or in my case a professional basketball player), so here are my top 5 favorite princess movies of all time (in order).

1. Beauty and the Beast (1991)

It's a tale as old as time. Belle was the first brunette princess I ever saw (I don't count Snow White, because her voice was annoying and her hair was black...which really makes no sense) and she was also the smartest one. I know there are big fans of Ariel and Jasmine, but Belle was always my favorite. She offered more than the surface level "Royalty is simply TOO challenging" motto of the majority of Disney princesses and was clearly not superficial (I mean, did you SEE her boyfriend?). She provided inspiration to a young, chubby child (hint: that's me) and made roses my favorite flower. Welcome to the top of the list.

2. The Princess Diaries (2001)

Who can't relate to the awkward but charming Mia Thermopolis? One of Anne Hathaway's first of many great roles left my friends and me with some really great inside jokes and tips on how to act like royalty. From laughing at that pretty boy from Brink to falling in love with Michael Moscovitz (who later broke our hearts to tour with Rooney in real life), I can probably quote close to every line in this movie. So, Princess Diaries, thank you for being here today.

3. The Princess Bride (1987)

Though intensely overplayed, few can deny that this is a classic. The characters and dialogue are so vivid and humorous that you can't help falling in love not only with Westley, but also with Inigo Montoya, Fessik, Vizzini, Buttercup and even Prince Humperdinck. I learned so many things from this movie — a) Rodents of unusual size DO exist, b)Inigo Montoya likes to say his own name, but does not like it when his father dies, c) Inconceivable is a great word, d) Good looking guys will do everything you wish if you're pretty and blonde.

4. Cinderella (1965)

By far the best version of this classic, the Rodgers & Hammerstein's made-for-TV movie was perfect. Songs like "In my own little corner" and "Ten Minutes Ago" make it clearly superior to any cartoon. I also love the horribly fake sets that awkwardly move while Cinderella sings. Upon doing some research, I found that Lesley Ann Warren who plays Cinderella has recently been on Desperate Housewives in the smaller role of Sophie Bremmer (Susan's mother). Though I secretly love that show, her role is definitely a step down from her glass slipper days.

5. Roman Holiday (1953)

Surprisingly this film was made before Cinderella, but was beautifully filmed. I love almost all movies with Audrey Hepburn, but this one involves Italy so it wins. In the film, Hepburn plays a princess who escapes from her parents to go off with an American newspaper man. The fashion alone gives it points in my top 5 list.

"Sam Kinison's 1984 spot on Dangerfield's "Young Comedians" special has to be commemorated in some way. At the time, it was the funniest six minutes that had ever happened, and it could have single-handedly won him the title (Bill's talking about his funniest man of the year award)  in almost any other year. It's also the hardest I have ever laughed without drugs being involved. Sadly, I can't link to it because of the language and because it crosses about 35 lines of decency.
