If You Can’t Bring the Party to Pundit Mom…

If your co-hostess can’t get to your house because, say for instance all of the bridges from Virginia into Washington D.C. are closed, there is always this option. I guess hope makes us act silly. Happy everyone and thanks to Quaker for a great party.

Everything Was Blurry

This morning everything was blurry. I was beginning to feel nauseous. On a whim I went into my bathroom, took out my contacts and then put the contact that was formerly in my right eye into my left eye and the one that had been in my left eye and put that one into my [...]

Laws and Sausage

Making Sausage Originally uploaded by Sarah606 “There are two things in the world you never want to let people see how you make ‘em: laws and sausages.” – Leo McGarry: The West Wing (Kemp, you read my mind when you said that on Twitter. ____ Sausage anyone? I’m not kidding. We’ve got a ton left. [...]

I Have Only One Question

My kids asked me if they could play dress up. I said sure, I sill had about 25 more minutes of work to do and that is usually a safe game. They both came out in their bathing suits. It is 9 degrees here today. NINE. DEGREES. I took a picture but I think Claudia [...]

Real Quick

This made me laugh so hard that I cried. Literally. My children think I am insane. Go read “Star Wars Retold By Someone Who Hasn’t Seen It“. (Found this through Karen Sugarpants, who deleted her old blog but now she writes at Craftastrophe which you should be reading too.)

Randomness Part 125

Thanks to the brilliant kdiddy I now know what it means to Bel-Air somebody. Have you heard of this? I was going to explain it in my own words but it is better if you just read about it here. I expect nothing but Fresh Prince lyrics in my comment section. ___ Anna Glamore, fellow [...]

The Sound of My Children’s Laughter

You know at the end of “Inside the Actors Studio” when James Lipton does the Proust Questionnaire thing with his guest? When he gets to #5 – What sound or noise do you love? – it seems like most of the performers say “The sound of my children’s laughter.” I always thought that was amazingly [...]

Do You Know What Day it Is?

That’s right. Today is national delurking day! (I know because Chris told me so. I think he might actually be in charge of the internet but I’m not sure.) A lurker is one who reads a blog but does not comment. What this means for you is that if you are reading this I expect [...]

A Good Way To Piss Off a Coldplay Fan

If you really want to piss off a fan of Coldplay make sure you refer to them as “You know, that band with Apple’s dad.”

The Perfect Set Up

It was the opportunity of a lifetime. The who family was sitting at the dinner table and we were discussing different kinds of food. We recently had to instate a rule that The Goon Squad tries a new food every day. The pickiness in our house had gotten completely out of control. Claudia was down [...]

That’s What They Say Every Single [redacted] Day

I was at the library this morning and I saw a guy that looked just like Dr. Dre. I had to fight every urge in my body to not go up to him and ask “Is it Dre? Is it Dre?”

Smells Vaguely Like Nirvana

Back when I was cool I used to work at a record store. People used to come in to my job and sing to me and I would try to find what they were looking for. Most of the time it was fairly simple. Most of the customers wanted something they had recently heard on [...]
