My Triumphant Return - Three Observations

First, I give you a Wifely Observation:

Okay, this may be TMI, but I'm gonna admit something here. It seems that whenever I'm in bed with DH and I'm trying to go to sleep, there's a certain position that encourages certain...bodily emissions...from me. You see, as long as I'm laying on my right side, I'm peachy-keen. But as soon as I turn over and lay on my left side and allow my dear DH to snuggle up against me and hold me as we sleep, my body instantly needs to...well... *sigh* Okay. I have to fart.

That's not the most romantic thing on the planet, I realize. In fact, it's just about the most un-romantic thing I can think of. What can I do, though? DH makes me fart.

Now, a Motherly Observation:

Conman's got his first, gen-yoo-ine loose tooth. I'm finding this incredibly exciting as a mommy. I can't wait until he looses it - not because I want him to feel pain, but because I can't wait to just arbitrarily give him money for something like loosing a tooth (fairy-tale reinforcement, anyone?). He's going from being a "little boy" to being "all grown up" right before my eyes, and I want to savor every second of it - even his slightly uncomfortable ones.

And lastly, an Entertainment Observation:

The Super Bowl commercials were just out of sight. They were hilarious from start to finish, with my favorite being the "E-Trade Baby". There were a couple other really good ones, too - "Justin Timberlake / Pepsi" commercial comes to mind - but those two are the only ones I really remember. All I really do remember is laughing through just about every commercial break during the game. That's what the Super Bowl is all about, ain't it? The commercials?

And on a related note, there's a commercial that's been running for a new drug that just has me in stitches every. single. time. I see it. The drug's name is "AcipHex", which on the surface isn't that funny. It's used to treat acid reflux. The funny part is the way it's pronounced. Are you ready for this? It's pronounced "ass effects". Now, I've gotta say, somebody really dropped the ball on this one, or missed out on a great naming opportunity - I've not quite decided which one yet. If it were a drug to treat, oh, I dunno, diarrhea or constipation, I could understand the name. I could even stretch that and say it could treat flatulence with a name like that. But if it treats acid reflux, somebody's got their orifices mixed up, methinks.
