Monday Mingle – March 7th

by Telling Dad on March 8, 2010

monmingleWelcome back for another weekly installment of Monday Mingle! I’ve made the move to Vimeo because this week’s mingle is 12 minutes long and YouTube has a 10-minute time limit unless you’re famous.

Which I’m clearly not.

At least, not until the 2011 Hot Blogger Calendar is released.

I’m Mr. February, y’all!

This week’s mingle ran a little long because I wanted to give a shout out to my Internet Boo, Gena of TheMorrisBunchBlog.com. She is 33 weeks pregnant and started to experience signs of labor. Worried about a premature birth, her doctor wants her to stay close to the hospital and under monitoring. Being 50 miles away from her daughters is excruciating and she’s miserable!

I’m hoping to elicit some positive vibes so that she doesn’t dilate any further than she already has. Let’s keep that lil’ sugar bun in the oven just a little while longer.

Stay positive Gena! Know that our thoughts are with you and Stoney! You and your cervix will be in my thoughts. But totally not in a creepy way.

With that, let’s roll!

For those unaware, Monday Mingle is a weekly video blog where a series of questions, topics or ideas are answered and discussed by participating bloggers. Jennifer over at Eighty MPH Mom posts the questions and then bloggers answer them vlog-style.

Loved your mingle once again! And sending lots of tight cervix-ish thoughts to Gena.

Two people with tornado stories . . . crazy!

I love that you had "Stay" as the intro song…it made me giggle. :) I will think lots of keagel-y, uterine-clenching thoughts for Gena!

Your wife is adorable. You two are a wonderfully comedic pair. And you're kind of dressed to match a little….or maybe it's so late that it just look like you match to me. Either way, thumbs up! Oh, and congrats on being a pinup model! Go you!

I am a firm believer that all the world's problems could be solved by Girl Scouts armed with Thin Mints. There is not a person in existence that doesn't love a Thin Mint. We should all wear pins that say "Thin Mints = World Peace" And I want to try those Snicklerbottoms you were talking about…they sound tasty.

Why yes, I have camp fired…I just didn't stick around to actually camp lol. Or is that just a bon fire? Either way, give me a marshmallow and a stick and I'm happy.

Crabs! Wow. Bring on the butter! lol. And falling into a fire?! OUCH! Glad you weren't scared for life! ;)

Once again you have an excellent mingle Greg! Have a great week!

LOL! I loved your meditative TIGHT cervix thoughts!

HAHA! I have no idea how Heather puts up with you. :) Hilarious.

U had your first beer at 2? This explains so much Greg.

And hot coals? Yes, I guess that would explain why hair doesn't grow on your head…LOL.

I LOVED the disco hair in the end. Where's the fuzzy black chest hair? I LOVE that chest hair.

Yeah to you again, Mr. February HAWT blogger.

My mingle will be up tomorrow. Youtube take FOREVER to upload videos.

Sayonara Mr. HAWT Blogger.

I am thinking happy tight cervix thoughts to Gena!

Continuing the tight cervix thoughts to Gena.

I have to agree on the reverse psychology. I was 2cm for 2 weeks, and our son was still 8 days past due.

My 8yo has chores, and he's supposed to get an allowance if he does them to teach him financial responsibility. It's satisfying as a parent when he asks for a toy or candy when we're in a store to say "No, you didn't earn your allowance."

LOL @ Greg's attitude towards Boy Scouts. No wonder the kids don't do their chores.

Sending vibes for at least 4 more weeks….I know that pre-term totally sucks! I was at pre-term with my twins @ 33 weeks and went until 36 with them. One was 8lbs and the other was 6lbs so no WAY I was going longer. Especially all the wonderful nasty drugs to prevent labor. But hey if nature calls.

So I agree on the chores….we delegate but cannot say they get done. Awesome on the scouts…some people can hang with the scouts. The cookies…I think they are a cult drug so you buy more and LOTS of them! Nice camping story, AZ has great camping….Texas….isn't the whole state a big campground? Have a great week.

Haha! Love the song choice…Stay baby Myles!! She's gonna love this when she see's it. She knows I'm sending positive, non-contractual vibes for her.

Great vlog, Greg. You crack me up!

What a great song to start your mingle with — although listen — I think you might laugh that baby out of her!! LOL>>>

SO many people dropped out of the scouts — makes me wonder if it's really that fun!

Happy Monday Mingle!!

Greg – where do I begin? First of all, I could watch you for hours – don't worry about it being long – you are HIGHLY entertaining. One of the best parts was watching Heather crack up. I've said it before, but how on earth does she ever get anything done with you around? LOL!

The homage to Gena was classic – she is going to absolutely love this and baby Myles will someday watch this and laugh hysterically. I'm sending good vibes to Gena as well that she can keep the little bun in the oven a bit longer. Love the song choice!

Wow – I think your camping story beats all. I can't believe Heather had a tornado too – and crabs!

You two are so much fun to watch. Heather you are absolutely gorgeous. And just think what you will have to deal with now that he is a Pimp Daddy Hawt Blogger…oh boy. I am so happy you are in there Greg!

Thanks guys!

You are too funny! Haha, reverse psychology sure worked for my kids. They were both late! My kids are exactly the same with chores. It's RIDICULOUS! caramel Delights are the BEST Girl Scout Cookies ever! I have a box sitting right here on my desk that no one is allowed to touch lol.

Oh Greg…. Laughing, as usual!

I LOVED that your wife mingled with you!!

Lots and Lots of positive vibes for Gena to keep that cervix closed for a few more weeks!

I'm tellin ya, the cookies will work! Or maybe your wife can bribe YOU with girl scout cookies to get the chores done? LOL!

Have a great week :)

Ok, so I haven't mingled. I just learned my webcam can do video, but I tried it this morning and it wouldn't work. Now that I know it's your questions next week maybe I'll try again!

Thanks for making me laugh, love it!

Good luck GENA!

kegels. Lots and lots of kegels. Flex and relax. Positive thoughts for Gena.

LOL

I'm so happy that your wifey joined you for your mingle. You 2 are such a cute pair. (you already knew that, though.)

You 2 have really been through some crazy things while you were camping. I can understand why you don't make a habit of reliving those memories with your own children.

Congrats on landing "Mr. February"! With all your "telling dad hotness" I knew you would. :) Have a great week!

You and Heather are so cute with you *almost* matching shirts! She needs to start a Telling ON Dad blog!!

You know, I had a feeling you didn't last long in boy scouts – I dunno, just call it a hunch. LOL.

Great camping stories, Greg!

Have a good week!

OMG Greg and Heather you two are so funny! I needed this laugh today. I'm working on reverse psychology but he isn't quite listening. I am 34 weeks in about 40 minutes! So we got to our first goal. Thanks everyone for the thoughts!
