Next Thing You Know, She’ll Be Asking For A Library Card

Seconds ago Avery ran into the kitchen, tears on cheeks, upset because, “Alley stole my book.”
Alley as in Alley Cat.
I followed the clues to the suspect and this is what I found:
The cat had actually taken the book from her.
And really didn’t want to give it back.
We had to trade the Maisie book for a Sandra [...]

In Which My Day Is Ruined By Someone Reading In The Drive Through

Friends, I had such a lovely morning. I traveled to a distant land known as Fresno with two other actual grown up ladies and we visited a magical floral supply place chock full of flower stems and topiaries and over-the-top Christmas trees.
Our local charity Christmas tree auction is in November and I am the designated [...]

It’s A Major Award!

The lovely and talented Jen over at Steenky Bee has very graciously presented me with an award. I know, I don’t understand it either. She seems to have a soft spot for my kind of crazy.

And after watching last [...]

What If I Don’t Want To Put My Thumb In There?

I just noticed something odd about the Annie’s Organic Bunny Pasta with Yummy Cheese that I occasionally feed my chicks for dinner. The place where you insert your thumb to pull back the top of the package has a little picture of a bunny’s hindquarter’s (fluffy tail and all) and the instruction to “Push Tail [...]

You Say It’s Your Birthday, Well It’s My Birthday Too, Yeah

Today’s my birthday. I tried to write a funny little post about the super lame celebrities I share this day with (Audra Lindley, Jim Henson, Linda McCartney, Ross the Intern), but I couldn’t make anything out of it.  So instead I’m just gonna throw a bunch of stuff out there, and see what sticks.
A baby [...]
