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.
I’m not sure when I stopped liking my birthday. It forces me to admit I’m getting older and eventually I’ll be that little old lady no one listens to and people patronize because they think she’s crazy. And who knows? Maybe by then I really will be crazy. And that means I’ll have lost all… Continue reading Goodbye 28, Hello 29
Last night it rained and rained and rained some more and I can’t say I was sad about being dry in our apartment. The kids were in bed around their regular time, Tucker was in bed watching YouTube and I was reading the tail end of Shopaholic Takes Manhattan. In other words, it was just… Continue reading Happy New Year’s and Britain’s Awesome Fireworks Video
I had some pretty good posts in my favorites from 2009 and I was nervous about going through this year’s archives; I don’t remember this year being monumental with regards to content. But I found some not so bad stuff. There are some months where I’m including a couple of posts and there are a… Continue reading My Favorite Posts on Taste Like Crazy from 2010
You won’t read this right after I publish it because I’m writing it at a quarter till five since Ollie woke up thirty minutes ago and was wide awake. Wide awake and burning up. Since I set my coffee pot to around 6am, I didn’t have coffee once I got Ollie situated on the couch with… Continue reading Positive I’m Up Way Too Early and We’re All Getting Sick
I have absolutely no desire to run Linux on my dinosaur of a PS3, Steve. I’m geeky but I don’t consider myself that geeky. That and I’m pretty sure Steve would catch on fire. However, I am geek enough to get just how cool this is for folks who love them some Linux and for… Continue reading fail0verflow Ninja Sneaks Linux Into a PS3 Slim and Puts Videos On YouTube
I got a dutch oven for Christmas from my in-laws and after I almost squished my left foot with the thing, I’ve been looking for things to make in the red behemoth. I revisited Boeuf Bourguingnon and I have no clue how I managed to make that without a dutch oven. I must be that… Continue reading Dinner’s Yummy Mistake: Chicken and Dumplings
This isn’t a resolution post. Think of this as a “something myself and a lot of other people should already be doing but we’re too damn jaded and it’s too damn easy to just be assholes” reminder. Note: this is NOT a meme. However, if you’d like to link back here and/or link to this… Continue reading Let’s Be Nice
It’s almost the first of the year and you know what that means: sales, booze and broken promises to yourself. It’ll all work out though since you’ll break at least one of your resolutions within the first couple of days and use retail therapy and the remaining alcohol from the New Year’s party to help… Continue reading The Anatomy of a Resolution
Today we make the not so long journey back to Arkansas. Don’t come to our apartment and steal our stuff since the only electronic thing we’re leaving is our TV and that dude is huge and heavy and you’ll herniate yourself and you’ll still be on the floor when we get home. And then you’d look… Continue reading Real Live Facebook and Christmas Lights Videos
The remake of True Grit comes out today and maybe you have no idea what I’m talking about–which is a shame. Here’s the old trailer for it. Maybe this will help you remember what True Grit is/was? Here’s the trailer for the remade True Grit: And here’s the recipe for The Rooster inspired by the… Continue reading Wild Turkey’s The Rooster for True Grit Opening
When Tucker takes his shower before work, I always hear him talking to himself. He says he’s planning his day; I say he’s crazy. Pot, meet kettle. This morning I was first to the shower though that’s not to say showering in the morning–or even everyday–is normal for me. By the time I get the… Continue reading The Mothers’ Bill of Rights
