Life’s a beach. And then gale force winds whip stinging sand into your eyes, carry your umbrella out to sea, and dash your hopes for a fun beach vacation into a million pieces.

So, we headed to the beach this past Saturday, taking with us a nifty little travel trailer that a very nice person let us borrow, looking forward to several days of sand castles and campfires. At first, it all seemed awesome.
The spot where we were assigned to hook up the trailer was just 20 feet from the [...]

More Miles On The Guilt Trip

I’m sure to get some crap for this, but what the hell. It won’t be the first time.
I was recently alerted by the Twitterverse that the American Association of Pediatrics has revised its car seat guidelines and now recommends that infants remain rear facing until the age of two.  
Clearly these people do not actually have [...]

Forgive Me, Edward

One way to make everyone forget that Edward is absent from 3/4 of New Moon is to bring some SMOKING HOT werewolves on board:

Excuse me a sec while I wipe the drool off my mouth and keyboard.
That’s better.
I would write more on this subject, but honestly, I’m incoherent.

“And then she was like ‘no way,’ and I was like, ‘way,’ and then she was like ‘for real?’ and I was like ‘totally.’”

Yesterday, after the bajingo probe, my OB sent me to have some blood drawn at the hospital laboratory. I go over there and they don’t allow me to go straight to the lab and get the ordeal over with. First I have to register and have a hospital bracelet put on my wrist.
So, OK. I thought it [...]

Random Tuesday: I’m not calling you old just because you like to eat at The Olive Garden. But you have to admit, the older crowd really enjoys the Tour of Italy.

Wow, it seems like it was just Tuesday the other day, and now here it is again. Time gets all funny when you have no reason to leave the house except for random visits to Target.
Speaking of random, I’m getting in on Keely’s RTT again this week. Make sure to check out The Un Mom [...]

Hexes On Those That Try To Mess With My Deliciousness

Think about this as you’re heading out to pick up a dozen of your regular Sunday doughnuts:

I saw this on MSN. It’s a Voodoo Doughnut from (of course) the Voodoo Doughnut shop in Portland, Oregon. It looks scary and tasty all at the same time. I would chomp it’s little head off.
Because I love doughnuts.
Voodoo [...]

I Got A Million Of These

Apropos of abso-freaking-lutely nothing…
Caroline: Mommy, I wish ponies were real.
Me: Ponies ARE real, Caroline.
Caroline: What about Unicorns?
Me (Silently): Dear God, why?
Caroline: Are they real?
Me: No, sweet pea. Unicorns are not real. They are imaginary.
My Mother (who happens to be in the car with us during this bizarre exchange): They’re mythical.
Caroline: What’s murfical?
Me: *Punches mother in the [...]

But I’m sure that if I had an opportunity to talk to Simon, even briefly, that we would have fallen in love, or at least become pen pals, and I would be invited to spend summers with him in England and then we could buy those break apart heart necklaces that say “Best Friends” and I would never take mine off.

The mystical, mysterious, and magical Sprite’s Keeper has assigned the topic “Celebrity” for this week’s Spin Cycle. As her wish is my command, here is the story of my one and only celebrity encounter. Don’t forget to visit Sprite’s Keeper to see all of the celebrity themed Spins.
