A post this awesome needs few words so I’ll get right to it. What I did yesterday: [nggallery id=7]
For My Amusement
Author: Amy @ Taste Like Crazy
I am a writer. I am a wife. I am a mom. I am a gamer. I am riddled with ADD. Order changes daily.
NASA Space and Rocket Center Day
I loaded all of these to my Flickr account so Mom could see them–so you wouldn’t have to–but my Flickr account is on its period and decided to be temperamental. AND I figured it would be tons of fun to do the whole “Family Vacation Slideshow” thing. Fun for me anyway. [nggallery id=6]
Sandbox Trip
Last weekend was Tucker’s drill weekend and since it was a very fair day, the kids and I headed to the playground. Unfortunately, we had to cut our play short since our bedroom–where Sophie spends a lot of her time–faces the playground and Sophie was howling loud enough to be an embarrassment. [nggallery id=5]
Word of the Day: Oneirodynia
Oneirodynia [o·nei·ro·dyn·i·a (o-ni’ro-din’e-?)] n. Intense mental disturbance or distress associated with dreaming. I don’t remember having a lot of bad dreams. In fact, now that I think about it, no nightmares stick out in my mind. That could possibly be due to me lacking a hippocampus but that hasn’t been proven so at this point,… Continue reading Word of the Day: Oneirodynia
Like a Hello Kitty Fly Girl…but Nicer
Today was a ridiculously productive day for me. Some would like to attribute it to the fact I started on my ADD meds again but since I’m only at 12mg at the moment, I like to attribute it to my general awesomeness. At any rate, I sat down for a breather and Cara jumped in… Continue reading Like a Hello Kitty Fly Girl…but Nicer
Four Pieces of One Heart
At night, about an hour before I plan on going to bed…or whatever, I go outside and read. The kids are in bed, Tucker’s usually watching his YouTube channels and that time alone is my way of decompressing from the day. Last night I came in to get some more peach tea to find Ollie… Continue reading Four Pieces of One Heart
Inflatable Slide Bouncy House Thing Video
On Saturday, We went to Alana and Parker’s son’s fourth birthday party. There was yummy cake, lots of kids and HUGE BOUNCY HOUSES! Fun was had by all.

10 Favorite Kids’ Books
When I was little, I used to hide under my covers–late into the night–with my flashlight and devour books. I still read late into the night, I still devour books and I can only hope my kids develop the same passion. And I’m indoctrinating my kids with books and reading; what of it? These are… Continue reading 10 Favorite Kids’ Books

Killzone 3 Multiplayer Beta Live
TJ Consunji announced just a bit ago on the Playstation blog that Killzone 3 Multiplayer Beta is officially ready for US download. From some recent whispers I’ve read on Twitter–if you can whisper whilst on Twitter–Killzone 3 Multiplayer could be a COD killer…though I’m not convinced on that one. Download the Beta via the PSN… Continue reading Killzone 3 Multiplayer Beta Live
