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.
It’s amazing what there is to write about when I actually get out of the house. On Friday, I met with a psychologist to talk about medication for mah crazy. First off, the guy didn’t shake my hand. Maybe I’m weird, but when I first meet someone, especially in a professional setting, I expect my… Continue reading Steve Carrell and Laughing at Ranch
I got Winter Garden [affiliate link] a couple of months ago from a very nice PR woman whose email address has since been lost in the great email apocalypse of 2010. I had a lot on my plate at the time and couldn’t find the time to read the book and then, when I finally did get… Continue reading Winter Garden
Last night was one of those nights where it became crystal clear to me that my boy is growing up. And I’m happy about that. And when I say I celebrate that, I really mean it. But it was like being slapped upside the head with a cinder block and it took me a bit… Continue reading Celebrate the Steps Don’t Mourn Them
Last night was the first night Cara slept in her full sized bed and Ollie slept in Cara’s toddler bed. That’s right. When we want to screw up the equilibrium of our household, we do it all the way, baby. Tucker kept asking if I wanted him to go ahead and take the crib down… Continue reading Oliver Now Sleeps in a Toddler Bed
In the spirit of writing, because I need to write and I haven’t written in a coon’s age – and when I say “written”, I mean really written anythingworthwhile – I’m writing. I have a book – since that’s what it needs to be – that came to me in a dream – I know.… Continue reading That Dream and That Next Sentence
I figure the best way to get back into the swing of things with regards to blogging is just to do it. I have no subject in my head – nothing I really want to talk about – but writing is a habit and when you get out of the habit it’s hard to get… Continue reading It’s Time to Write
I’m probably the only person who’s going to find this ironic but I’m writing about my lack of motivation. I’ve been up since 6:30 or 7am. I’ve had my laptop either in my lap or close by the whole time and I’ve written eleven words for Sims 3 Gamer. And it’s not like what I’m writing about… Continue reading What’s My Motivation?
As many of you guys know, I used to write a Spirits blog for b5Media and, well, now I don’t. But that doesn’t mean I have quit loving awesome drinks and that also doesn’t mean I have stopped receiving information from my Spirits contacts. Case in point: did you know March is the month of Charles Tanqueray’s birth.… Continue reading Happy 200, Charles Tanqueray
Cara and I started on her first “chapter book” last night. I just got in this book to review called The Lost Children [affiliate link] and Cara latched onto the book like a leech on an armpit. She quickly informed me that I was going to read the book to her at bedtime. In fact,… Continue reading Cara’s First Chapter Book
My general rule with regards to writing is if I can not get a theme or idea out of my head then I need to write it down. Fairness in politics has been on my mind a lot here recently. Since I’m on my laptop for the majority of the day and TweetDeck is almost… Continue reading Political Fairness is All I Want
My kids are weird. And yes, I am stating the obvious…especially when you take into account these pictures. They got these “glasses” at my friend Alana’s son’s birthday party and while I’m pretty sure they’ve long since been thrown away, for a good three hours, those glasses were the coolest things my kids had ever… Continue reading Weird but Cute Kids
If you came to our apartment today – and I don’t suggest you do that since I’m still in my pjs – you’d see a towel on the top of every door. It’s not that we lack towel racks…it’s that we have children who refuse to leave their doors open. And putting a towel over the door… Continue reading The Mom Dance
