A bunch of you have sent me pictures from your cell phones. A lot of them are hysterical. I’m going to post a bunch of them soon. I’ll probably also make a flickr set for them. Please let me know if you sent me one you don’t want posted on the internet. Speaking of flickr [...]
Interesting Way to Start the Day
May 15, 2007
Guess what I did first thing this morning? You’ll never guess in a bazillion years. Well, maybe in a bazillion, but I doubt if you would guess any time soon so I will just tell you. I was standing in front of my closet perplexed. I went shopping on Sunday and I could have sworn [...]
Dora! Boots! How Could You?
May 14, 2007
Mrs. Chicky tagged me for a Mother’s day meme, so I started this whole lovely post honoring my mom, but then I Mother’s Day came and went and now I feel stupid posting it, so I’m skipping it. (Sorry Mom and Mrs. Chicky) In fact, while my Mother’s Day was lovely, it was eclipsed by [...]
Three At Last
May 12, 2007
Goodbye, “Terrible Twos”. Hello “Terrible Threes”. We are just having a very small family get together this evening for the Goon Squad’s birthday. Pictures should follow. We bought them digital cameras, so you never know what kind of pictures you are going to get. If I don’t get a chance to talk to you tomorrow, [...]
Cell Phone Picture Extravaganza
May 11, 2007
I don’t believe that three pictures can really count as an extravaganza, but I’ve been playing a lot of Scrabble on my Palm Pilot and so I really wanted to use that word. A “Z” is worth 10 points I’ll have you know. Anyway… Last week we went to the mall with Beth and Mia. [...]
Me? A Thinking Blogger?
May 11, 2007
People have started awarding me the “Thinking Blogger Award”. Paula, the Queen of the Surf Pirates and (help, I can’t find the other one. If it was you send me a quick e-mail. In fact, I am starting to think it was just Paula and I imagined the other one.) someone else have honored me [...]
Several Things
May 10, 2007
Mir is getting married on Friday. I have been invited to participate in her bridal shower. Since I am a huge fan of Mir (both her writing and her as a person) I am posting a picture from my own wedding in her honor. Good luck to Mir and Otto. You seem so well suited [...]
Wine: The one Without the “H”
May 9, 2007
Beth pointed out that I have a whole category called “I Love Wine” and so far I have only talked about “Wine Spectator” and “Food and Wine Magazine”. I saw this as an invitation to blather on about wine that I really like. Since I don’t really like the cheap stuff, and can’t really afford [...]
Randomness Part 75
May 8, 2007
If you ever want to get people all riled up, just bring up the subject of breastfeeding in public. (You’ve got to read the comments, things get out of control.) Just as I suspected. I am now addicted to Shear Genius, even though it is pretty stupid. Why does Bravo reality television have such power [...]
First Sign of the Apocalypse (If you Believe in that Sort of Thing)
May 7, 2007
I did yard work yesterday. Real yard work. I tore out some bushes. I pulled them out, cut them out and bagged them up. And the kids helped. Sort of. If you count wearing gardening gloves and fighting among themselves as helping they helped a lot. I’m actually sore. I guess I don’t normally use my [...]
How Many States have you Lived In? An Informal Poll
May 6, 2007
Not that it is any of my business, but we were counting up how many states we have lived in the other day and I have lived in a whopping three states. Part of me thinks that three isn’t bad, a lot of people spend their whole life in the same town another part of [...]
They Pull Me Up then they Beat Me Back Down
May 4, 2007
I was at the grocery store yesterday (No big shock there. I spend a very large percentage of my waking hours at the various grocery stores lately.) and when I was checking out I got carded. Hooray! I’m 34 years old and I love being carded. I mean, who wouldn’t? Remember those commercials or maybe [...]
