• Golf-Playing Nazi Cats

  The title of this post comes from a conversation I was having with the man tonight over dinner (oh I made a fantastic dinner!).  It was about an old saw in publishing about what sells books: golf, cats and Nazi's.  I found it hilarious and hope the title has enticed a whole new slew of readers into the Toddler Tube fold.  If you are new, welcome.  Sit a spell.  Put down your 9 iron, stroke your cat and enjoy this Jew girl's wandering prose... First off, it's Friday.  It's the freakin' weekend.  But since you're here, it probably means you're like me: not willing to sell your kid to afford the babysitter.  So, since we're all stuck in the house, here's a fab Web video I thought you'd enjoy:  The Children's Guide to the Apocalypse.    What else? Well I'm so very sleepy.  I worked mega hard today, hoofed into the city during today's Manhattan monsoon (except monsoons aren't as cold, right?) and I nearly kissed Hugo to death this eve.  His new game of giving me a naughty smile before running headlong into my arms and laughing on impact, is a scene I keep replaying in my mind.   Unfortunately, I've no video of it as I was too busy living it.  Like the dog walk we took in the pouring rain, there are some moments that can't be captured, not without a union film crew, at least. Many apologies and I be back this weekend with a video of excitement.  In the meantime, why not make your own magic and upload it to motionbox?  Also, I've an idea... if you do that, please let me know and if it's under two minutes and features yer baby I'd love to embed it right here on this here blog. First/cutest come first served. I leave you with this. Can you scold dog for being on couch    ... when baby is parked in his dog bed?   That's it for now Web.  Stick a fork in me, I'm done! xoxo, Susie, who is sleepy and not just saying that to be cool.  Posted May 09 2008, 10:28 PM by Susie Felber with | with 1 comment(s) Filed under: dogs, weekend, cute video, amc.com, dog beds, golf nazi cats, amc, scifi scanner

• Chemo Cuties

  I'm in Florida right now visiting a writer/teacher friend, all on my own -- away from the babe and the man unit as of last night.  This is my first time away from Hugo for 24 hours, ever.  It's blazingly sunny as I blog this outside a fab joint called the 2nd St. Bakery in Gainesville.  Spanish moss hangs from the trees.  Some massive bird just flew by -- think it was a pterodactyl. A cup of sliceable coffee is being had. A cookie with chocolate, pistachio and cranberry has been demolished.  Hey, it's my lunch, cut me some slack!  Also, calories don't count beneath the Mason Dixon line.  OK I made that up.  ANYWAY...   I'm visiting my friend Sharon (above) because she's awesome.  But luckily her cancer gave me a great excuse to come see her.  Yay cancer!  But seriously folks, today marked her last chemo treament.  And so when the nurses (who were obviously really fond of her) revealed that they had a special final chemo song for her, I knew I had to grab my camera.   I didn't think I'd share it here, I just thought she'd want it for posterity. But Shar is the opposite of shy about this and really eager to share the Shands serenade with all her friends and all of y'all.  I hope you love it as much as we do.   The nurse told us the song comes from Illinois.  Their singing was aces but the confetti really brought it home, no? I am really pro-confetti.  I'm kind of bummed they didn't break it out at NYU when Hugo was born.  That would've been awesome. Since this is Toddler Tube, here's a pic of the toddler, even though he's hundreds of miles away. I took this pic yesterday. The fact that he's playing concerned baby doctor, is just a coincidence, swear. I know sweet-smelling baby and his handsome daddy and his recovering doggie are doing swell, and not because I call every ten minutes.  I only call every 20 minutes. Ba Dum BUM! Love to you, Internet friends And also kisses, :) <-- and sincere emoticons too.  Susie   Posted May 02 2008, 05:09 PM by Susie Felber with | with 5 comment(s) Filed under: baby, dogs, cancer, illness, florida, gainesville, shands, free wifi, 2nd street cafe, final chemo song, chemotherapy, baby wearing doggie pajamas, eating giant cookies, cranberry pistachio chocolate cookies
