Advice Needed

August 11, 2011

My best friend is potty training twins, 3 and half year old boy and girl twins. It is not going well.  I have very little advice for her other than, potty training sucks, and the reason I'm not having another child is so I never have to potty train again. I'm only partially kidding. She [...]

Symmetry

July 18, 2011

I took this class in college called "Seeing Through Symmetry."  The school I went to had these "All University Curriculum Classes" that were not general education classes, but students were still required to take.  They pulled from art and science and humanities and history and math.  Some were really good and some were not.  "Seeing [...]

The Lazy, Hazy Days of Summer

May 30, 2011

Instead of going to the beach house we hung out close to home for a relaxing, low key weekend.  I felt like after last week if I had to sit in one minute of traffic I might hurt someone.  So instead we went to our neighborhood pool, basically for the weekend.  I am reading a [...]

On Life, And Death, And Goldfish

May 3, 2011

One of the first things I heard this morning was "mom, why isn't my fish moving?"  And then, the stark realization, that the goldfish, was in fact, dead.  I told him we would check on her when we he got home from school, that maybe, just maybe, she was sleeping.  (She was so dead, but [...]

I Do Not Have A Green Thumb

April 19, 2011

Ever since we moved into this house Doug has wanted a garden.  Last year we bought Pear trees, and this year we are going full out garden. Here's the thing, I should not garden.  I suck at gardening.  I'm allergic to basically the outside, and I kill plants.  But Doug really wants to do this [...]

Everything I Own Is Conspiring Against Me

January 3, 2011

Early last week the "Malfunction Indicator Light" came on in my car.  Like I always do I thought "oh shit" and called my husband.  We have had terrible experiences with our car dealer in the past, and this time was no different and we ended up with a mechanic in Virginia.  The repair cost us [...]

My House Is Now Sponsored By Cheez-Its

October 11, 2010

On Friday, after Michael had been sick for two days, we decided he was officially better and headed over to PTA sponsored pizza bingo.  I'm now, apparently, a public school joiner, and I would rather play bingo and eat pizza with a "suggested donation" to the PTA then buy wrapping paper any day of the [...]

So, How Are You? Anything New?

July 27, 2010

Things are pretty uneventful around these parts.  Just swimming along, perfectly fine. Oh, right.  We have no power.  Again.  Still.  I have no idea anymore.  I think Miss Banshee put it best: (That is the very first screen-shot I've every taken.  I'm like a real blogger now.  I know how to take screen shots.  It [...]
