Why I Hate Lego Bricks

I am going to tell my story of why I hate Lego bricks with pictures. You will only be able to feel me if I tell the story with pictures.

It started out innocent enough. A box of Lego bricks here, a box of Lego bricks there. But when you put all of those boxes together, which to date equals six of all three varieties, it makes a huge mess.

These are only the Duplo variety out here. Four boxes of Duplo blocks.

As if the mess were not enough, let me assure you I really do possess that many boxes of Lego bricks and they really do come in three different flavors.

First we have the Quatro Lego bricks. HUGE blocks as you can see for the 1-3 age range.

The next step is the Duplo Lego bricks. For the 2-5 age range. Here is where we are vomiting Lego bricks. We currently possess three large boxes of Lego bricks not to mention about four-five sets. The sets are the ones like to build a castle or to build an airport.

Lastly we have the regular Lego bricks. Four and up range. Do you see how many that box holds? ONE THOUSAND. Just in that one box. We have another box of this size as well.

Now, one last thing. You may be thinking, "If she hates Lego bricks so much, why in the world is she living in LegoLand?" One word, Mark. Yes you see my lovely husband handed down his genetic freakiness. The love of the Lego. Just to prove my point, I ventured up into the attic where we have some things stored. There you will find Mark's Lego bricks. Yes vintage Lego bricks.

Not only vintage, but also each set is in a clear plastic Ziploc baggie. All Ziplocs are stored in lidded Rubbermaid containers. Now these Legoe bricks we are not allowed to play with. According to Mark, we do not respect the Lego bricks yet.

If you look closely you will see the tiny Lego pieces and you will see the Ziploc baggies. Notice also that we have THREE of these.

No we do not respect the Lego bricks. Me least of all. I think if I sold all the Lego bricks we have. I would be able to afford a cruise all by myself. One free of Lego bricks.

You forgot to mention that each individual ziploc bag also contains the original instruction booklet for that particular set.

Oh. My. Lord.

That would be because I did not know that. I am not allowed near the Legos. I tried to touch the boxes but they burned my hands...

Then this errie voice said, "Thou doth not respect thy Legos."

My house is similarly overrun with comic books. I'll trade.

I love Lego

I haven't undulged this love, yet, as far as Julian is concerned (we have a very small amount of the Lego bricks at present-the Duplo ones which I consider to be "not real") and I have not yet ventured into the attic atop of my parents garage to find the Lego of my childhood.

And Just Like That.....

I made the fatal mistake of reading reviews and articles before watching a single episode of the show.  I knew full well I would watch every episode regardless.  I read anyway.  Spoilers? Not bothered.   Let me give some back story here.   At 17/18 my dream had been to go to a big city (Chicago was my thinking at the time), get my degree in journalism/editing/publishing and go work at a big time magazine.  Keep in mind we are talking about the mid 90's here so the idea that magazines would cease to be relevant was not even on my radar.  I had been editor of my high school yearbook and unbeknownst to me at the time, we were actually doing the yearbook by coding and would get printouts hoping we had coded copy correctly.  I just typed the copy I was supposed to type with the weird little codes that had been given to me on a piece of paper.  I would later discover this was actually HTML code we were doing.  Who knew?  This fu...

Why Choose It?

Judy posted a comment about being jealous at two weekends away from the kids. About how she figured it would be a long time before she got that chance. I have to admit, I thought better her than me to have the new baby. After our two weekends away and Mark joking that it was his ploy to convince me to not have anymore, I have to say.....I think it worked. After thinking about it and being able to get away so easily because the kids are bigger, I could not help but think, why go back and do it all again? If you had a choice between going out of town for the weekend or being stuck, tied down to a newborn who was feeding from your breasts every two hours and waking every three ,which would you choose? To which one might say why ever have kids at all.....fine. I have TWO. I have done it TWICE. Not only that, but for anyone who cares about it, I have one of each. One is almost seven, the other almost three. Granted Davis is not potty trained yet, but he does change his own diaper sometimes...
