texting while driving crash videoDo you text while you drive? I don't but my husband does. He texts, fiddles with his iPod, reads maps, and more—and it makes me crazy, especially now that we have a baby in the car.

First Thing You Do When You Wake Up

August 21, 2009 at 11:49 AM by Cafe Cynthia - Comments (9)

morning routinesThe first thing that moms do when they wake up in the morning -- besides peeing and grabbing coffee -- from The Cafe:

-- I go straight to the computer to check my emails, otherwise I can't for the rest of the day.

-- Normally, I **** my husband. Morning sex is the best.

-- I brush my hair and use my inhaler.

-- I make a bottle and then change a really DISGUSTING diaper.

-- Grunt at my husband, because all he does is bitch and complain once he hits the alarm.

Most Annoying (and Unsafe!) Driving Habits

July 9, 2009 at 7:43 AM by Cafe Cynthia - Comments (5)

bad driving habitsIf you read this post in The Cafe that one mom wrote therapeutically to vent about her two close calls in traffic accidents the other day, you'll be amazed at the number of bad driver horror stories that abound.

Drivers running red lights, near miss T-bones, rear-ending, swerving into lanes. Reckless drivers nearly crashing into innocent people who were driving safely and obeying the traffic laws.

I really used to think it was just me who encountered these crazies on a daily basis. Now I know they are everywhere. And to the mom who commented that Florida drivers are the worst, I beg to differ. New York drivers, any day of the week.

Most Disgusting Habit Ever -- Spitting in Public

June 18, 2009 at 6:55 AM by Cafe Cynthia - Comments (2)

spitting in publicI took a fun poll in Newcomer's, in which a mom was asking which act of bodily effluence was the most disgusting to witness publicly: spitting, passing gas, or belching.

I voted "spitting," hands down. A guy hocking on the sidewalk next to me the other day almost got me. I see clumps of yellow-white stuff on the local walking path all the time, and I'm sure my kids and I have tracked the dried stuff into our house on numerous occassions.

Like some of the other poll takers mentioned, flatulence and burps are gross, but kind of excusable because they are involuntary (for the most part). Spitting is a choice, and it's almost exclusively a choice of men.

Don't they know that tuberculosis is transmitted that way? As well as gads of colds and viruses?

wildcatmomma is as repulsed as I am:

Drink Less, Weigh Less

April 9, 2009 at 7:00 AM by Cafe Dara - Comments (7)

sugar sweetened drinksA study published in the April 1st edition of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition linked weight loss to a reduction in liquid calorie consumption. The study was cited this week in an MSNBC report, "Liquid calories, a bigger diet-buster than food." Apparently, sugar-sweetened beverages (soft drinks, sodas, fruit drinks) are the biggest hindrance to weight loss. (Hmm...I scream for ice cream!)
