Ian Learns a New Phrase

Ian has started telling me the same thing every day. “Don’t sing anymore”. I know I have complained about this before, but this really hurts my feelings. I know it shouldn’t. I mean he is two years old. He is just trying to assert himself. But he never wants me to sing to him anymore. [...]

Riddle Me This

What could be the reason that both of my two year olds are suddenly scared of the vacuum cleaner again? I mean – they didn’t like it when they were babies, but they had gotten over their fear. They even have their own little Dyson’s and they use to vacuum along with me. But now [...]

Did she just say “a cow skull”?

I was sitting around cleaning my house and trying to think of something interesting to talk about today. I had no inspiration until I was checking my bloglines. Tammie over at Soul Gardening wanted to know what the weirdest thing is that we have displayed in our house. Easy. A cow skull. That’s right. You [...]

Randomness Part 46

Go over to Parentopia and help Devra and Aviva come up with a new slogan. You know you want to. Plus, there are prizes involved. Every time I type the word “because” I type “becuase”. Why? Why? Every stinking time. Go over to EDSBS and behold Spurrier’s giant cock. You may have to scroll down.

The problem with this post is that I have to admit that we watch “Hell’s Kitchen”.

Hmph. So, if you read my title, you already know. As much as I say I hate reality television (and I think I really do) Gabe and I watch “Hell’s Kitchen“. For those of you who watch shows for smart people, “Hell’s Kitchen” is a reality show where 12 contestants are trying to win a [...]

I am trying to remain calm.

It’s hard for me to stay calm. I know it is only preseason but FOOTBALL! FOOTBALL! FOOTBALL! HOLY CRAP IT’S FOOTBALL SEASON AND I KEEP GETTING E-MAILS ABOUT FANTASY FOOTBALL AND I CAN HARDLY CONTAIN THE JOY AND I AM USING ALL OF MY WILL POWER NOT TO DRESS THE SQUAD IN THEIR NEW BUCS [...]

Thanks Junipers!

Dutch gave me two of these superfly Willie Nelson shirts at BlogHer. What can I say? Only one of the children was feeling cooperative today.* The blue one won’t wear any shirt that isn’t pajamas this week. (Picture me rolling my eyes like crazy.) I’m serious. He has no problem wearing a metal mixing bowl [...]

Randomness Part 45

The nice thing about having your kids get older is that you can talk them through bringing you a new roll of toilet paper in an emergency. (Thanks Claudia.) Has anybody else noticed that “The Wonder Pets!” is almost entirely in recitative? I don’t care how much you pay me, I will never ever watch [...]

Sarah’s 100 Favorite Albums of All Time (The Top 10!)

Ta-Da! The final 10. This was the hardest part of the list. I rearranged the top 8 songs almost every day since I have started this list. Also, Gabe pointed out to me yesterday he couldn’t believe that The Stooges self titled album wasn’t on here since I listen to it so much. All I [...]

BlogHer – The Recap (with apologies to dial-up users)

I think The Kaiser put it best when he said “I’m drinking beer out of a plastic cup with Sarah. All is right with the world.” Because of all the aforementioned beer and the time change I still can’t seem to write anything coherent. Instead, here are some pictures from Saturday night. It’s 2006, so [...]

Perfect Post Award – July

My Perfect Post award for July goes to Dad Gone Mad* for his post “The High Cost of Being a Wussboy“. It’s been a while since I have laughed this hard at a post. It contains the phrase “the pain of 40,000 vasectomies”. I really think that Danny is one of the best writers on [...]
