More Progress

I saw something in our local rag the other day about a mom who made homemade baby food for her little ones. It was written in a tone of amazement.
Sort of like, and I’m paraphrasing here, “Holy shit! She uses a food processor to make her own baby food! Did you know this was possible? My goodness, all [...]

Progress

When my husband and I got married in 1999, I moved away from my hometown – not for the first time, but for what I thought was the last time. When I left, this little town that I grew up in was much the same as it had been since I was born. There had been [...]

I Really Wanted A Description Of Edward’s Naughty Parts

(Spoiler Alert– If you are reading the Twilight series of books by Stephanie Meyer, this post contains information about the final book.)
I keep editing this post because I keep thinking of things that I thought were all wrong in Breaking Dawn. Also, I keep thinking about deleting this, because I feel really bad about criticizing [...]

She Don’t Need No Stinking Teddy Bear

This is my niecey poo. She is nephy poo’s seriously attitudinal sister. My SIL emailed me these pictures a little bit ago and I had to laugh because, doesn’t she look like she’s thinking, “Are you fucking kidding me?”
Maybe it’s just me.
I wish she could speak so we could hear exactly what she’s telling that [...]

Um, I Read About It In JAMA

Last night my husband and I were victims of a curious phenomenon known as Sexus Interruptus. You may not be familiar with Sexus Interruptus. It is an event that is unique to people who have young children. It’s not the first time that we have experienced Sexus Interruptus, but the onset of this particular outbreak happened [...]

It’s A Giant Rick Springfield Birthday Cookie

One of my very good girlfriends was having a BBQ on Saturday and I offered to bring dessert. I figured a few cupcakes, maybe some lemon bars, perhaps a cookie or two.
Then Jen P., that’s my girlfriend’s name, emailed me and asked if I could somehow incorporate Rick Springfield’s birthday into the dessert.
Say Wha? Rick [...]

Open Letter To A Slutty Book

Twilight, you sneaky little bitch. You knew, didn’t you, that I’d been resisting you for some time now. I’ve heard the talk, I mean everybody’s reading you right now. There’s a movie in the works. And yet still, I ignored you. I knew you were a “young adult” novel, a book for kids, a piece [...]

The Great Ant Incident Of 2008 Continues…

Caroline gave this to me earlier today:

I said, “Cool drawing, Sweet Pea, is that a bumblebee?”
“No Mommy,” she replied, “It’s a mean ant.”
I guess she’s still not over the “incident.”
Bastards. The ants, I mean.
(BTW, I am a total idiot for thinking that this particular drawing is of a bumblebee. Clearly there are no stripes or [...]
