This is where I’ll be tonight. That’s right. The Redskins and Steelers game. I know it is only preseason, but football is football, and a suite is a suite is a suite.
No Publicity is Bad Publicity
August 17, 2007
I think the first time I understood the term “no publicity is bad publicity” was back in 1992. I was working at a Peaches record store when Body Count’s song “Cop Killer” was banned. Before this song was banned nobody cared about Body Count. Sure, I owned the tape (yes tape, shut up), but I [...]
Best Laid Plans
August 16, 2007
I had big plans for yesterday. Well, big plans considering we have been on potty training lock down for over a week now. We were going to go grocery shopping in the morning, then we were going to go to the pool. Of course, the kids were insane, so even though I began trying to [...]
The Ring Bear
August 15, 2007
My friend Corbi is getting married in November. I am going to be a bridesmaid and Ian and Claudia will be making their debut as the ring bearer and the flower girl. This weekend Claudia and I went and tried on dresses. We had a blast. It was our first real mother/daughter trying on dresses [...]
Mike Vick: What the Hell?
August 14, 2007
The more I think about this Mike Vick/dogfighting ring thing, the more it bugs me. Gabe and I always figured that he would have a short career, but we figured it would be because he overdid it on the football field. We thought he would completely blow out his knees or break something Theismann style. [...]
The Excuse Note
August 13, 2007
Dear Internet, Please excuse Sarah for her absence this weekend. She is still trying to potty train The Goon Squad, she went and bought a bridesmaid’s dress, helped Claudia try on flower girl dresses, she finally finished this book (meh), and Sarah and Gabe (but mostly Gabe) are painting all of their kitchen cabinets. That [...]
Getting Better
August 10, 2007
After a full week of potty training lock down things are looking up on the pee front. If you noticed that it would seem like Claudia has peed into the future, do not be alarmed. Those are just from the times that she was putting her stickers on while I was supervising Ian’s urination. I [...]
The Filth and the Fury
August 9, 2007
I apologize in advance for anyone who came here looking for a post about the documentary on The Sex Pistols. While I would be happy to discuss that film at length, this post is actually about my house. My house is a mess and it is completely my fault. I am a terrible housekeeper. I [...]
Formal Memo/Informal Poll

MEMORANDUM TO: SATGS Readers FROM: Sarah, Goon Squad Sarah DATE: August 8, 2007 SUBJECT: My header/flash/loading times Dear Readers, It has come to my attention that my page loads very slowly. I have made several changes to my site so that it would load faster, but alas, my header is flash (whatever that means) and [...]
Not to Be Overly Political
August 7, 2007
I’m not trying to make this a political blog, but I read something in The Washington Post yesterday that made me angry. First the back story: My neighbor that I really like (the one who I told about BlogHer) knew that I went going to a blogging convention in Chicago and so she was excited [...]
Mother’s Little Helper
August 7, 2007
I just found the greatest thing since sliced bread. Mother’s Little Helper. Not the pills, the kid. Babysitters are good, but this is even better. Devra has an 11 1/2 year old, we’ll call him THE MANSITTER (I happen to have it on good authority that he likes to be referred to in all caps). [...]
Ahhh. Football Season.
August 6, 2007
I’m not sure how many of you care about this, but the NFL preseason started last night. I am giddy. I love watching football. I’m gearing up for my fantasy football drafts. (That’s right. You heard me. Drafts. More than one. Probably more than three, but that is neither here nor there.) Aaah. Football season. [...]
