You know, it’s Father’s Day and even though the guys don’t talk about being dads until hour 3, I’m taking over the blog today.

The guys do talk about our ice skating trip, paper towels and toilet paper, pizza, buying things from door-to-door salespeople, twitter games, SomaCow t-shirts, Other Peoples’ Podcasts, and more food.

But I’m writing this for Geoff so it’s all up to me.

You know, buying things for Geoff is difficult. This isn’t a “look at me” but just want a little sympathy :)

So what DO you get a man who buys what he wants as he wants it? He doesn’t need or want new technology. He doesn’t like getting media as presents so no DVDs, books, music etc.

Well, I got him a tree. It has meaning so hush. And I also wanted to put together a DVD for him of Rowan’s first year. I thought about doing this way back 6 or 8 months ago. I started saving the videos and putting them on my “My book”. I started going through them and, if they were good, put them in another folder. This may sound simple for some, but it seemed like every time I got a few minutes, something else came up!

I really wanted to do this on my own (put the video together) but was down to just throwing them all on a DVD unedited (about 2 hours of just raw footage) or talking to a friend for some help.

I have to thank Kelly (@peglegpug) and Jeff (@banankin) for all of their help! I mean besides doing the recording and then uploading them for them, they did this all! A video for Geoff of Rowan and her first year.

It would mean the world to us if you would look at it, share our happiness. It’s only a few minutes long. And thank you again Kelly and Jeff!

The video can be found here.

But finally, I’d like to thank Geoff, the father of my baby. Of course I wouldn’t be Rowan’s mom if if weren’t for Geoff. But I want to thank him. He supported me through a completely unmedicated labor. He was there for the two weeks prior when I was having contractions every day. He was by my side during the birth and after. He stayed up with me while I was trying to feed Rowan in those first few weeks and has continued to support my feeding her now. He worked harder and longer so I could cut my income to stay/work at home with Rowan (and still does). He shows Rowan everything he does from cooking, to swimming, to turning on and off the computer. He reads to her, he dances with her, he loves her. I could not have hoped for a better father for my child and I think you, Geoff, for being my baby daddy. I love you!

SomaCow Media is proud to present SomaCow, brought to you by …  uh … wait………….. what?

Even with some alleged short term memory loss, it was pretty easy to remember the first topic from this hour. Elross put it very plainly, in bold, WEED!

Geoff believes that he is now for legalization of marijuana. California is looking into it, as tax revenue. Just think of how much money would be made! I talk to people all the time, of all ages, who say “oh, yeah, we smoke pot”. They are professionals, all ages, all races. Pot smokers are not just college students or drop-outs being lazy and getting high while watching Up In Smoke or Dazed and Confused anymore. It is recognized by many for its medicinal properties and for just relaxation. So why is it still illegal? Mickey thinks it makes you lazy. Maybe the people for the legalization just don’t have the drive to get out there and make changes?

So besides this, the man thing of the week was discussed. Geoff turned the wheel, Mickey forgot to minimize his porn surfing, Ross is thinking, and J snored? I guess that’s manly. Women snore, I know I have and my mom does but I guess we just don’t admit it often? Or maybe the men just don’t complain. Probably the latter.

Mickey’s life coaching centered around the current schools in our system and how worthless they are. Did you get a good education? Was it public? private? How about your kids?

Many men say to look at your girl’s mom and you’ll see your future. But what about guys? Are you like your dad? Do you look like him or act like him? I know that the things I was immediately attracted to in Geoff absolutely resembled my dad.

Are you in the Central Florida area? If so, we’re trying to plan an ice skating meetup/tweetup on June 13th. You can check out the details (or add suggestions) here!

And we are still working out the details on the Cure for the Run on August 22nd. We’re trying to nail down the charity. Have you had experience with charity functions? Maybe you can assist us! We’d love to get your input. You can discuss it with us here. You can donate via paypal to somacow@gmail.com and just put “cure for the run” or some other designation for it!
