Because if all of my friends jumped off of a bridge I would too. If somehow you haven’t seen one of these yet, there is a list of words and a few questions asked. The participants make videos of themselves saying all of the words and letting everyone hear their accents. At first I wasn’t [...]
So…
October 19, 2011
I’m still around. I’m just in other places right about now. Like here: Ranting about how having kids that are close in age is not at all the same as having twins. And here: Talking about my love for Jon Gruden. And pimping pork and aiming low and honing my satire skills. Don’t worry, I [...]

Questions for You!
September 30, 2011
Today we have another installment of “Questions For You”. We have questions today for two reasons. One, because I am trying to write a post about all of your HILARIOUS irrational fears and the formatting has gone crazy and I just don’t have the patience to deal with it today and two because I was [...]
My Minivan Has a Poltergeist
September 19, 2011
My minivan has a poltergeist or possibly an electrical problem but either way I am freaking out. I was at the grocery store (as I tend to be) and when I tried to get out of the car it was locked. That in itself is no big deal. I’ve also tried to get out of [...]
Two Seven Year Olds Walk Into an Old Navy
September 16, 2011
On Wednesday, right after school, I took The Goon Squad shopping for fall. Why do I wait until until midway through September to go back to school shopping you ask? Well, one because August and September are super busy for me, but also because this is when Old Navy has that crazy kids sale. I [...]
Irrationale
September 13, 2011
What you are about to read is entirely irrational. I am not even going to try to justify it. * I don’t know if it is getting older or if it is the mid-Atlantic foliage, but my allergies seem to get worse every year. When I was young I wasn’t allergic to anything. Now I [...]
The Silver Lining
September 9, 2011
I am looking forward to winter because in the winter there a no mosquitoes to ravage my poor itchy ankles. I told this to my children this afternoon. I told them this one, because it is true and two, because I was trying to think of something positive to say. The kids didn’t have school [...]
Grass is Probably Symbolic of Something Too
September 7, 2011
My husband bought me a new lawn mower today and somehow this made me happy. It is shiny and red and I am thinking of buying flame stickers for it. My neighbor in kindergarten will be so jealous. * * * When I was 18 years old and a freshman in college I called one [...]
Heads Up

The concert is [...]
With the Lights Out It’s Less Dangerous
September 2, 2011
Claudia has decided what she wants to be for Halloween. She is seven years old. What on earth have I created? I will take partial credit. The Goon Squad’s birth announcement featured a picture of the twins wearing Misfit’s onesies. Then there was this. Then I praised her when she wanted these. But none of [...]
