Thought I would share...

Yep - I'm double blogging - my sincerest apologies. Okay, not really, perhaps 1/8th of my sincerity.

Anyway,...I didn't know if any of my readers here at I Love Lucy Jean were into celebrity gossip and such. If so...you should go over to my other blog:


I've had a couple of posts on Celebrity Look-A-Likes....if you are interested.


Just thought I would share!

SpongeBob Screwed-Up Pants

I'm a fan of SpongeBob. I really am. In fact, I used to watch it back when I was in high school. Patrick cracks me up!


Anyway, I was never a huge fan of Lucy watching SpongeBob though. Well, I'm not really supposed to be letting her watch any television at all. But, you know what? We can't keep it away from her! She loves it! I've created a monster!

We know that the American Pediatrics Something-or-Another says that children under the age of two years old should not watch any television. And, when they do start watching television that they should only watch one hour a day.

Do you follow this rule?

I confess - we don't always. We do allow her to sit down with us on the weekend and watch a family movie. She has enjoyed The Princess and the Frog, Bolt, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, and Despicable Me. We are probably going to let her watch Hop with us this weekend too. Is that awful?

To get on with my story....Lucy loves SpongeBob. We've even allowed her to watch it on occasion; because, Heath and I enjoy it too. Bad reason - but, I'm being honest. Until...

One Saturday morning I'm watching the ol'Bob with Lucy. It is yet another episode about Plankton trying to get the Krusty Krab secret recipe. Somehow, Sandy the Squirrel fit into the story line and she accidentally takes Plankton home in her water suit. When she arrives home, she decides to take a shower.


Then, to my horror, what does she do? She takes her fur off. What? Yes! She take her fur off!!!




And, then she hangs it on a hook next to the shower!


Plankton is watching all of this, by the way, which is a little screwed-up too.


So, Sandy is joyfully showering, bald.


While her fur carcass is hanging next to her.

What?!


Then, Plankton steals the fur shell, to pose as Sandy and steal the recipe.


Is this disturbing to anyone else?

Let's pretend for a second that it isn't gross and messed up; it's inaccurate! I don't want Lucy thinking that squirrels' skin just comes off!

I'm at a loss for words about the images I have just laid before you...

Personal thoughts?

What I'm Loving Wednesday



I am loving...

...that the playroom is almost finished! Heath finished painting everything, hung the ceiling fan, and even put all the vents and outlet covers back! It was pretty impressive.

...Kirstie Alley. She is a wreck on DWTS; but, she is hilarious!

DANCING WITH THE STARS - "Episode 1201" - A star-studded cast filled with celebrities across a variety of genres are set to compete each week on the dance floor. Performing either the Foxtrot or the Cha Cha Cha, all 11 couples danced for the first time on live national television in the spectacular two-hour season premiere of "Dancing with the Stars," MONDAY, MARCH 21 (8:00-10:02 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.

...my new book frame. My dad had these little five cent books, from when he was little. They were sitting in the bottom of a tote. I asked if I could frame them for Lucy's playroom. He said sure, since they were too fragile to actually let Lucy read or play with. They are 50 years old! I took them to our local framers and this is what they did:

I chose the matte to match the red playroom carpet.
This was the last view before they ordered the frame.
This is a bad picture of the final product, with a hairy, ghostly orb in the left-hand corner. Okay, okay - that's our chihuahua, Squirt, standing in the sun. I'll be sure to show you the frame in the finished playroom.
...that our community is having an Easter Egg Hunt this weekend. And, they have an age group for Lucy! :) I may have to practice picking up eggs with her. haha.

...Lucy is sleeping through the night again. We had a rough patch with her being sick and teething more.

...that I will be getting a new blog design soon! We've been working on something and I just can't wait to have a new, fun, cleaner, crisper, wider look! So, don't be completely shocked if it changes, randomly, one day. (No, the new turquoise header is NOT what I am talking about.)

...thunderstorms! There is a thunderstorm coming through in the next couple of days and I'm excited!

...Easter is almost here! The E.B. got some very special gifts for Lucy; I just know it. I have a feeling that includes green jeggings. :)

...we are watching Hop this weekend. Look for a review on Foo Foo Review next week. I really like James Marsden too. He's pretty easy on the eyes.



...that it's Hump Day! Only two and a half more work days! Is it inappropriate to bring up Hump Day after discussing how cute James Marsden is? I'm just asking...

...my readers, followers, commenters, and email subscribers! I love hearing that people are interested in our stories.

...my family and most of all, my Lucy!
