On the left side of the sanity bell curve
I am a writer. I am a wife. I am a mom. I am a gamer. I am riddled with ADD. Order changes daily.
OK. Maybe YOU’RE not dirty but your house is. Your clothes are getting ratty. You don’t know the meaning of pinch or poach. And you didn’t realize any of these horrors until you read Heather Solos’s book, Home-Ec 101: Skills for Everyday Living–titled after her wildly popular website. Well now you think you shouldn’t read… Continue reading Buy Heather Solos’s Home-Ec 101 Because You’re Dirty
Today’s discovery is brought to you by breakfast which consisted of scrambled eggs and french toast. Darwin, my laptop, is a great machine that does all kinds of wondrous things but a by product of all that awesome is A LOT of heat. Heat I’m surprised hasn’t led to a first degree burn or two on my… Continue reading DIY Eco Friendly Egg Carton Laptop Desk Thing
Thanks goodness for Notepad ++. Cause that’s where I’m typing this right now. Though you just assume I typed this into the magical blogging thing and out popped this post thing. Silly reader. Our wireless router has finally given up the ghost and we’ll have a connection for a minute and then no connection. Translation?… Continue reading Ollie. A Bead. The Emergency Room.
THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN. O M JAYSUS. I’m pretty sure I have that out of my system. Probably. It’s all over the news. All over Twitter. All over Skype. All over our house. Well…all up in our conversations cause Tucker’s a contractor and he drills for the Navy and we don’t know if he’ll be going… Continue reading I Mention Blueberry Beer At the End of This
I think I need a writing schedule. Lots of stuff happened this past week with Tucker’s job and maybe a new job and Mom was here this weekend and we had a HUGE storm last night and now it’s 30 degrees colder than it was yesterday but know what? That’s about all I want to… Continue reading A Funk. A Missed Blogiversary. A Collection of Inspiration.
It’s times like these when I wish I could poof Sophie into an eleven year old girl for fifteen minutes so I could thoroughly mortify her with this picture. Instead, I’ll have to settle with giggling at my cleverness and petting the old ass dog. Happy birthday, Sophie. I’m glad you’re not dead.
I do not play Angry Birds. I also don’t own the original, Rio and Seasons. I also don’t have the game on Steve the PS3. And my kids don’t holler, “BIRD BONUS! BIRD BONUS!” when a bird isn’t left behind on the slingshot of the game I don’t play. But I DO love me some… Continue reading Angry Birds: The Movie Trailer
Sophie is a goat. No, no she’s not. She’s really a pit bull but considering all the stuff she eats–that’s not food–she has to have an ancient goat ancestor. Consider it a part of the fossil record yet undiscovered. There was the time, she was about ten weeks old, when she ate part of a… Continue reading Sophie, The Goat Pit Bull, Ate Two Pounds of Homemade Caramel
Over the past month, I’ve been redoing a site and I’m just about done. However, there was one part that kept me crossing my eyes and aimlessly searching the Google for a solution: How the heck do you change the text of {0 Comments} on the front page of the Thesis theme?! My personal solution–on… Continue reading How To Customize {0 Comments} In Thesis
I think it was around the time Katy Perry released California Gurls that Cara became obsessed with Perry. I don’t think I knew who sang the song when I first heard it but it had Snoop Dogg so I figured it couldn’t be all bad. My first exposure to Katy Perry was with her “I… Continue reading Battle of the Tarts
I’ve been working a lot on Alli’s sites and basically have had nothing to say. When you don’t do much other than bitch at CSS and PHP and mutter to yourself about drop shadows, it’s hard to come up with something interesting, engaging and all around awesome to write. That and the fact that anytime… Continue reading Give Me Your Laughs, Your Comments, Your Huddled Animated Gifs
Tucker has this knack for telling me stuff right before he heads to drill that doesn’t seem like a big deal at the time but then he’s gone for the whole weekend and I don’t talk to him much during that time cause he’s playing Navy and I have the kids and…yeah. I don’t know… Continue reading Tucker’s Not Going To Japan. Yay!
