On the left side of the sanity bell curve
One of the perks of reviewing products is when the product I’m sent to review is some sort of alcohol. Cause seriously? You can’t beat that with a stick. Right? (Thank you, Molly, for being so patient with me. Molly’s the awesome lady who sent me this to review and life happened and it’s taken… Continue reading Kilbeggan Traditional Irish Whiskey Review and Cocktail Recipes
Ok, people. Let’s clear something up. Ready? I’m gonna kindergarten it down for you. Hypothesis: When you have an idea which can be tested. Theory: A hypothesis you’ve tested and your peers have tested and your findings (and their’s) have been replicated by you and your peers. Lots of times. Everything comes out groovy at… Continue reading A Rant: You Say Theory. You Mean Hypothesis. Stop. It.
Massive storm rolled through this morning and knocked out our intertubes. I suspect the kids are going to lose their tiny brains. I’m relegated to Marvin the Note and the urge to write ALL THE THINGS on my sites…which, of course, I can’t. Guess behind internetless isn’t SO bad since I need to finish this… Continue reading The Post Where Marvin the Note, a.k.a., My Phone Decided To Publish a Post When It Shouldn’t Have. Asshole.
Welp, yesterday was Tucker and my anniversary. I don’t remember what year the blessed event occurred; I use Sophie’s age (minus two one years) to keep up with the quantity of years. I figure if I remember the month and day, I’m doing pretty good. And normally I do. Except for this year. Correction on my… Continue reading Happy NINTH Anniversary, jerk.
I’m a pretty open-minded person. As long as you aren’t affecting me or mine, go on with it. I also have a tendency to play the devil’s advocate so I sometimes have a hard time nailing down exactly where I stand on some topics. This one topic? I KNOW EXACTLY HOW I FEEL! IF YOU GET… Continue reading An Unexpected Google Image Result and How I Reported Child Porn
The night was most agreeable save for the cacophony of wings from armored bugs which did not realize their time was almost at an end based on the month for which they are named. Taking refuge in the garage, I was greeted by the most massive black and scarlet arachnid my eyes have ever had… Continue reading Nocturnal Companion: The Devil’s Handmaiden
I’m hot. IT IS 85° IN MY HOUSE RIGHT NOW! Yes, I am sweating. Yes, Sophie the Wonder Pit Bull refuses to remove her geriatric self from the tile floor. Yes, everyone is at everyone else’s throats. It is tons of fun up in here. I’ve been so proud of us for not turning the… Continue reading Heat, Camping, Job, Kids/School, Running and Gifs
Whole thing started over the dumb sidewalk chalk I made her. Cara wanted to go draw outside; I was 100% cool with that. I told her to get me a ponytail holder so I could put up her hair. She told me to hold on because she was going to get the chalk. Since she… Continue reading Undefeatable, Prideful Caroline
Know what’s fun? Being woken up by a dog that sounds like she’s about to puke and then screams as she jumps off the bed. Lots of fun, let me tell you; I didn’t go back to sleep. I ushered the old lady out back (She kept her tail tucked the whole time.) and once… Continue reading Almost Lost Sophie This Morning
I volunteered at Cara’s school on Friday for Fantastic Friday–or whatever it’s called–where we [the parents] manned “stations” and the kids rotated through reading, science experiments and crafts. One of the crafts was a sheep made out of Cheerios and melted marshmallows. Basically a strange approximation of a sheep rice krispie treat. Unfortunately, Cara missed that station since she… Continue reading Tucker’s Rice Krispie Chicken Treat Creation
Today is Sophie the Wonder Pit Bulls tenth birthday! I saw this dumb dog be born. I put up with Tucker’s bitching about her when she always chose his clothes to pee in when she was a puppy. Not to mention all of the things she destroyed because she decided to embrace her terrier side… Continue reading Happy Ten Years, Sophie the Wonder Pit Bull!
Tucker and I dropped the kids off with his folks yesterday. We now have six days of glorious freedom where we get to pretend we’re just 30-something married people with a dog and no kids. Until we happen to find a kid sock somewhere or one of us remembers something cute one of them did.… Continue reading Conversation with Tucker: Desert Island vs Deserted Island and Fabulous Camels [video]
