Wordfilled Wednesday-It's a Sassylicious Giveaway!

Yep, you read that right. Woot! Woot!! Giveaways are fun, even if I never seem to win any of them. My friend, E, has this etsy shop she calls Sassylicious.  She makes the cutest stuff over there. She's got the cutest pillowcase dresses on the planet (and the cutest little model too!). They look like they are a lot of fun to wear.

She's now also making rag blankets (by custom order only) in various sizes.

 and her newest thing is reuseable bags. I'm pretty excited about these because she is offering my readers FREE SHIPPING (within the Continental US) on the reuseable bags. Just tell her The Drama Mama sent you! Plus, with it being Earth Week, this is a perfect (and stylish) way to keep it green.

This bag features convenient handles to carry your bag. The handles are the perfect size without being too long. This bag also features a plastic snap closure so that your lunch doesn't fall out!

She's even got reuseable sandwich and snack bags to go with the lunch bag! She can make custom orders, too, because she is cool like that. She has more great stuff right there on her etsy site (I'm thinking about one of those backpacks for Scooby), all of which can be CUSTOM MADE at NO additional charge. She's pretty awesome. Be sure to check it out.

As for the GIVEAWAY? Are you ready?

Not My Child Monday- A Tale of Two Breakfasts

It's been an interesting week here at The Scoop on Poop. Scooby has exerted a more independent (and hungry) side. We probably went out to eat more times then we should, but when you get fodder to blog about, it makes the money well spent.

We went to Grandma Drama's on Thursday, which is a normal tradition for us since Jellybean has dance class right around the corner. We discussed dinner. When we returned home, Scooby did NOT open the fridge and pull out the hot dogs. He did NOT start a running, ever-growing-louder chant of "Hot dog! hot dog!" during the course of fixing them.

This is the same boy who did NOT insist on eating 6 mini pancakes and 5 sausage links for breakfast on Friday morning. He also did NOT steal 3 of G.C.'s sausage links from his plate, plus one from his sister's, at breakfast Sunday morning, .

He is NOT a sausage lover. Nope. NOT my son.

 

Welcome to Not Me My Child! Monday. This blog carnival was created by MckMama. Head on over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week. Trust me, it’s worth clicking over!

Whistle Snap

There is now living proof that I have entered the life stage of an advanced geriatric about 60 years too early – new thrifted granny shoes! They are sort of an odd combination of loafers, moccasins and boat shoes which is a quirky combination that I happen to enjoy. Also, I felt like I haven't been exploiting the sequins in my wardrobe as much as they'd like me to so I felt like taking this little jacket number out for a spin. Lastly, I'm wearing the new American Apparel 'riding pants'. For those who asked, they are basically stretchy high-waisted leggings with a zipper and snaps. If you're looking for real pants than you can forget about them, but seeing as I hate wearing real pants (jeans are so constricting!) they're perfect for me.

How to Speak Scoobish 101

Did you know? I am bilingual. I can speak 2 languages. I speak English and Scoobish. I'm still learning my Scoobish though, as its a very complicated language indeed. In fact, Scoobish makes English look super scary easy.

You are probably sitting there scratching your head trying to figure out what country Scoobish comes from. It's actually a very small country, population 4, located on the mid East Coast of the United States smack between Richmond, Va. and Washington, D.C. In fact, the country is so small, only those who live in the country or are descendents/ancestors understand the language.

It is an odd language to speak. It really is. It contains smatterings of English, sometimes just enough to give you a taste of what is being said, but most often, it takes a while to get it. There are no books to translate from Scoobish to English, either. Nope. This is just one you've got to learn by experience.

As bad as English can be giving two words the same sounds, yet different meanings (and spellings too), Scoobish is far worse. You really have to be paying attention to figure out which "Llehllel" is being mentioned, because "Llehllel" has 3, sometimes more, different meanings. It can mean "pillow". It can mean "yellow". It can mean "ice cream". It can even mean "egg". It can mean anything that the speaker doesn't want to say the proper name for (the supercalifragilisticexpalidocious of the Scoobish tribe).

There's also "deedledeedledee" which can mean "blanket", "tissue", or "there's a booger in my nose". It can also mean all the same things as "Llehllel". And have I mentioned "no" yet? "No" has all sorts of meanings. It means "yes", "nose", "no", "mine", "maybe", "I'm not tired", "I'm not", or "stop". "No" can mean everything that "Llehllel" or "deedledeedledee" doesn't. The key to understanding the language is knowing which meaning is being applied.

Because guessing the wrong thing can be bad. Very, very bad. Super scary you've-never-heard-a-baby-dragon-screech-like-that-before bad. It can be throw-yourself-on-the-floor-in-a-wailing-arms-flailing-legs-flying-fit-of-rage bad.

There are also some things I love to hear in the Scoobish language, because well, it just sounds so dang cute. There's the whole hands raised to imply "where is" accompanied by "Nana?" (which means Jellybean in Scoobish) or "Dada" or "bammaw" (Scoobish for Grandma).

But the absolute favorite thing I love to hear, though I hear all to rarely, is "Thatsa mine". Music to my ears. I love it when Scoobish is that easy to understand.

I know that as he gets older, there will be less Scoobish to understand. As for now though, all the Scoobish leads to real words, and that excites me. I know someday this too shall pass, and my baby, my last baby, will be a big boy. *sniff* *tear*.

And I'm okay with that. Half Most of the time.
