Why I am not ready to be a parent, #3,678,942 July 24, 2006 ~ 11:25 pm
Posted by Julie in : About a Julz, Daily Grind , trackbackTonight’s dinner:
- One can of large pitted black olives
- One bowl of Kellogg’s Raisin Bran
This happens on a regular basis (the food changes, but not the strange nutritional content combinations). And this is despite the fact that I had defrosted a chicken breast, had leftover pork loin in the fridge, and had just bought a scrod filet that I could have eaten. I eat like a five-year-old, therefore I am not ready to have a five-year-old. Or even a baby.
On the plus side, hey, the lunch dilemma is solved for the rest of the week.
Now go check out all the cool pictures that I took while Aimee was here. They’re under her Flickr account because I would have seriously surpassed my 20 MB upload limit with these.

Pea green with envy girls. Even the man said “Aww, they look like fun”, to which I said “I wouldn’t know! Shun!”
We ARE fun, Tot–and we’ve decided that our next outing (after ESC’s wedding, of course) will be to the Great White North so we can meet the nuns and eat pea soup.
They are fun - I promise you!
Hmmm. Looks like some of the same shots I got in NYC.
Looks like you guys had fun! Wish I could come back to NYC … maybe one day.
Tee hee…you said ’scrod.’
Is that the past-tense of “screwed”?
Scrod - generic term for young white fish, usually cod, sometimes haddock. If you are invited to a wedding in pittsburgh, and indicate you would like fish at the reception, 9 times out of 10, you will get scrod. it’s pittsburgh’s favorite flavorless fish. most often served baked, topped with breadcrumbs and butter.
I’ve dug my heels in - no scrod at my wedding!
Loved the pictures! I think the family needs to give NYC one more try and do some of that cool touristy siteseeing shit.
Don’t feel bad about the meal. And just for your information, a 5 year old only eats 3 things: grilled cheese, PBandJ, and McDonald’s Happy Meals. So it doesn’t matter what you buy or what you eat. If you dig those foods all the time too, makes meals easy.
So when are you expecting?
Vince~Never. As I will never be ready to have a child, I think it wisest never to have one.
ESC~Yeah, that kind of scrod! Not some bizarre tense of “to screw.”
Aimee~See my reply to Bunsen.
KtP~Yep, I did.
RE~My camera takes better pictures than Aimee’s, so I was designated photog.
Rick~Yes, we are.
Aimee~When did we decide that? just kidding!
Tot~What Aimee said. But the nuns better be worth our while!
Shit, this soooo means I’m not ready to be a mom. I like to eat odd things, too, and NOT regular meals.
So, who’s adopting my poor misbegoten children?
Jamie~Do you feed the children balanced meals? Because that’s my whole problem: working up the energy to cool ANYONE a balanced meal.
The pictures are wonderful!!! Don’t kid yourself about the food thing. Babies love to wear olives on their fingers.
Vince is right about what five year olds eat.
my god…nice pics
Lois~Oh, babies and I get along just fine. Because I was wearing olives on my fingers last night. But could I keep a baby alive for any extended period of time based on what I consider nutrition? Doubtful. (thanks about the pictures, tho!
Aimee~Five year olds and I also get along like a house on fire. Could I keep one alive? Mmmmm…not so much. This is why I have cats. Dump the same damn food in their bowls every day, and they’re fine. It’s already balanced nutrition, no thought necessary.
Ken~Was that “My God” based on the pics, or the concept of me having a child. Because the former would be flattering, while the latter would be an entirely understandable reaction.
[...] Now, I hate to post too much about what I make, because I know it only makes some people jealous and hungry. I’m looking at Julie, with her cereal and olive dinner. Ew. [...]
“Tis exactly as Vince said, PB&J, grilled cheese, and Happy Meals. Sometimes I even eat Happy Meals.
I miss NY!
Nanner~I’m over the PB&J, but I do still enjoy a grilled cheese or a Happy Meal.
Come back to NY. Come back!
