Sweet and Sinister

It’s a holiday tradition.  Every year I look this thing up and then spend an exorbitant amount of time playing with it.  It’s sweet.  It’s charming.  It’s all about destruction and making children scream.  Lovely! If this sounds at all enticing, follow this link.  For those who aren’t familiar, you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Then get [...]

1986 Called!

1986 called and it wants its hair back!  So this is my chop choppy haircut that is the end result from my stabby stab visit to the salon.  I wore my most ’86 shirt (from what I could remember.  I was seven years old then) and sang about Jem being truly outrageous, truly truly truly [...]

Dear School Bus Driver, I am extremely sorry that you were forced to endure the sight of me running out to you in my pajamas.  Nay, not just any pajamas, but a pair of bright pink fleece pajamas with multi-colored polka dots all over them.  It has been cold, and these pajamas are warm and snuggly.  [...]

This is a Black Widow that lives in our backyard, amongst the poisonous Oleander and Night Shade. Oh, all right.  The Oleander is actually the neighbor’s that hangs over into our yard, and the Night Shade is simply Night Shade, not Deadly Night Shade.  ‘Cuz I have little ones, and one chooses to keep little [...]

Holy SNAP, it’s almost time for NaNoWriMo!  While technically I know this (because it’s October 22, for crying out loud!) things have been so crazy lately that it hasn’t had time to sink in.  Well, you know what?  I just passed by a calendar.  And there are, count them, nine days until NaNo!  *cue incessant [...]

  Thanks for all of your support, everybody!  We started Baby Girl on seizure meds tonight, and we’re also doing an EKG and an MRI soon.  My son is also lined up to do a EKG and MRI, for a completely unrelated reason.  I made some little quip about just throwing them both in the machines [...]

Yes, that’s a lot of words.  1,667 a [...]
