Volkswagen does it again

This commercial has to be one of the best I've seen recently. Gene Kelly gettin' down wit his bad self to a breakdancing remix of "Singin' in the Rain". Enjoy.

Blogger acting up

Blogger has a mind of its own today. I visited the site earlier and our http://mikeandgen.blogspot.com showed a press release for Google.....later it was a site referencing sex, drugs, and gossip. Woah! If you return and it seems someone has temporarily hijacked the URL, trying pressing down CONTROL and click "Refresh". This will clear your cache and seemed to work for me earlier. Otherwise, if you like reading about sex, drugs, and gossip feel free to linger and get your fill of tabloid news.

Daddy Diaper Bags

So, I've pretty much exhausted every website that is known to carry diaper bags. It's become my own little obsession, much like my obsession with COACH handbags. But, I didn't want to neglect my right-hand man who too will be on diaper duty once the baby is here. Mike already has issues with carrying my purse when I look through clothes racks or if I need a quick run to the ladies room while at the mall. You know, he has to carry my purse like a grocery bag, with his hand firmly grasping the shoulder straps by the middle, not by the ends. So, I knew he wouldn't be too crazy carrying a brightly floral-printed diaper bag. As we were browsing a baby boutique a couple of weekends ago, Mike stumbled onto a very "manly" and "masculine" diaper bag that was actually made by a Denver-based company called DadGear. They even have a vest that looks like the one Vin Diesel wore in the hit movie "The Pacifier" (note my sarcasm there). It's a really neat and functional bag that any Dad would be proud to carry. It even has a quick-access wipes window at the base of the bag for those emergency diaper changes. I'm glad we picked a winner for Mike, now if I could only get away with 7 diaper bags...one for each day of the week...

Time to buy stock in Kleenex

I've been sick for almost a week now. Yep, it pretty much sucks. Finally went to the doctor today and picked up some antibiotics for my ear, nose, and throat. Last Friday, I went snowboarding with my work and most likely contracted something while in the mountains. The part I hate the most about being sick is feeling so useless (or as Genevieve would say, more useless than normal). You just keep popping OTC meds thinking, "maybe TOMORROW is the day I'll feel better." Luckily, Genevieve has been so terrific, making me spaghetti, soup, or pretty much anything I ask for. Hmm...maybe tonight I'll ask for steak and potatoes....just kidding.

On a lighter note, we had a baby check-up this morning. We were able to hear the heart beat again and everything is going fine. Genevieve has been visiting the chiropractor twice a week and the pain in her sciatic nerve is slowly vanishing.

Here's a recent pic taken by Mr. Mike himself. I'm definitely filling out, clothes are getting a bit tighter every day...maternity pants here I come!
