Yesterday all the Buzz in adoptinland was about PizzaHut UK’s horrible ad compaign “Adopt a Cheesy Bite”. If you missed all the hoopala, some insensitive wing nut at Weiden and Kennedy thought it would be great based on “With all the comment in the news at the moment about issues surrounding adoption, we thought it was an issue we could tap into. Possibly in questionable taste. Also funny.” Ummm..definatly questionable, NOT funny!!

They applied MAJOR sterotypes and mistruts to the adoption of a cheese filled roll. Yeah, that’s the first thing that comes to my mind when I think of my son, a cheesy greasy roll.

In anycase, all the freak outs and emails and phone calls across the internet community have made a difference. The Cheesy “adopt a bite” website is down this am. Congratulations to all who took part in saying “No, bad taste, bad bite!”

I got off work early last night..and so I came home and did the official Christmas piturs of the kids. Well, half the kids. Garin refused to partake in the sitting. Just down right refuised. And Max, for obvious reasons, was not available at such short notice. But Tristan and Scarlett were very happy to put on the annoying Christmas outfits and pose. I had wanted to get the damn dog in ( in loo of Garin), but Lilly will not be America’s Next Supermodel Dog. She does follow directions well at all.
If course now that I got the one decent picture out of the 150 that I shot, and fiqured out how to print on a 4×6 paper, my ink has run out and the colors are off. So off to buy more ink today. Why did I decide to do Christmas cards this year??? I never do..oh right, becasue I feel like a bad mommy when I don’t.
This is the one that I ended up picking.

I just ordered, finially, my new Swatch. I can’t beleive I have gone for so long without “my” watch. It died when we were at the beach this August, and I am really neurotic without it. I keep grabbing my wrist and I hate not knowing the time. Plus, I have had the same watch since I was 18. Well, not the same one, but the same style..basic black Swatch..and I never take it off for anything. I love that it is water resisitant. Anyay, I decided that the kids would get it for me for Christmas, so I ordered it. Then I paniced as the confirmation came and it was going to Nevada instead of NY. I don’t know how I missed that…especially when they were all like “we can’t confirm this address”..so then I had to call in customer service and get it switched. I did go for the extra 10 bucks and get it overnighted…yeah.
