Green door

Just had a door-to-door salesman dude show up–second one since we moved here in November. He was selling magazines trying to “earn points so he can be promoted and be a mentor.” He “came from the ghetto and just wants a promotion.” The whole thing is a scam and it’s been proven as such many,… Continue reading I Need a Peephole in My Door

For Posterity Not Posteriority Or We Registered Cara for Kindergarten

The permanent record IS REAL! Ack!

Yesterday was one of those days parents are supposed to remember and reminisce about as they’re sending their kid off to college or maybe watching them be walked down the aisle. Or something. That’s why I’m writing this. So I won’t forget. To win against the memory monster because I know I’ll forget this day… Continue reading For Posterity Not Posteriority Or We Registered Cara for Kindergarten

Happy Ninth Birthday, Sophie

Note the disdain in her eye. I woke her from her nap.
Sophie the Pit Bull

Is it bad that I had to search the site for “Happy Birthday, Sophie” so I could remember how old the dog turned yesterday? As we were getting ready for bed, Tucker stuck his head out of the bathroom and said, “You realize that dog’s TEN now, right? “No. She’s nine. Really. I think. OK.… Continue reading Happy Ninth Birthday, Sophie

I’m Tired of Skyrim Finally For Now with Skyrim DLC Teases and Game Jam 2011 Video

Game Over

I knew this would happen eventually but I didn’t expect it to slide into my brain just yet and cause me to decide I’m done with Skyrim. I’m so done with it I could take it to Gamestop right now, trade it in and not be the least bit sad. I’ve logged almost 386 hours… Continue reading I’m Tired of Skyrim Finally For Now with Skyrim DLC Teases and Game Jam 2011 Video

Things I Say At Walmart

Pulling out hair

“Don’t touch that.” “You don’t have to touch all of that. Promise” “You’re going to get tired holding on like that.” “I can’t see you if you stand right in front of the cart.” “Get your hands off of the shelf.” “Didn’t I tell you I can’t see you when you’re right in front of… Continue reading Things I Say At Walmart

Enjoying Spring

One of the best things about having this house is having the yard. Now that the kids have a swing set/fort/castle/whatever Cara decides to call it and Ollie agrees and then disagrees and then they fight, the kids are spending a lot more time out in said yard. This is me weeping tears of joy.… Continue reading Enjoying Spring

Spiderman Dancing to Numa Numa Song or When Cara and Tucker Should Have Been Asleep

One of these days we'll get some bedroom furniture and matching bedding. Really.
Cara and Tucker should totally be asleep.

What happens when I miss a dose of my meds and then take them earlier than normal? I stay up and am productive and schedule posts on Sims 3 Gamer for the next three weeks. Yay for productivity! However, as I’m writing this, it’s after 1100 and Cara is in our bed after an EPIC… Continue reading Spiderman Dancing to Numa Numa Song or When Cara and Tucker Should Have Been Asleep

My Header is Janked Because, Ollie’s Ear and a Startup’s Awesome Video

If any of you were wondering why my header is all janked, just know that it’s not that much my fault. The charger for Darwin’s battery kind of split in two and since it’s pretty important electronic shocky stuff be all in ONE piece, I was doubly screwed. I’m currently on Tucker’s laptop. The laptop… Continue reading My Header is Janked Because, Ollie’s Ear and a Startup’s Awesome Video
