On the left side of the sanity bell curve
Right at this moment, I’m watching Season 4, Ep. 3 of Wire in the Blood. If you haven’t watched it, I highly suggest it. Netflix has it streaming. I’m also taking a break from some geek work I’m doing so I’m in a bit of a rush to remind you of some stuff I think… Continue reading Important Stuff, Yo
Music is an important part of my life; it always has been. I attended my first concert when I was four. James Taylor. Apparently I forced Mom to spend the majority of the concert in the bathroom with me. Even though I don’t have a record player, I still can’t bring myself to get rid… Continue reading Rockabye Baby!

One of my favorite things to cook is a roast. Part of it comes from the lazy two-thirds of me but it’s also due to the fact cooking something low and slow develops flavors and you go from having a hunk of meat to having dinner. When I first bring a roast home from the… Continue reading Sunday Dinner Roast with Lawhorns
A while back I added “baby feeds” to the site because I wanted to write about more than just “mom stuff” but I didn’t want to create multiple sites. I realized today I never explained how to subscribe to a specific feed so I thought I’d show you. First thing you do is find the… Continue reading How To Subscribe To a Taste Like Crazy Feed

When I first signed up for this project, I was a little excited about it. I was going to not only be reviewing the book, but also following the diet for thirty days and giving away a copy of the book. Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned. The hook of the Cinch! diet is, “Stop… Continue reading The Cinch! and 5-Day, 5-Food Fast Forward Review
They don’t really taste like crazy. That was just low hanging fruit. But now you’re thinking, “Amy, what the heck are talking about and why are you writing an entire post about these ‘baby feeds’?” I’m glad you asked! First off, baby feeds is what I’m calling the category feeds I’ve set up. The ones… Continue reading Baby Feeds Taste Like Crazy

So I’m a bit late when it comes to the 12 days of Christmas thing and I didn’t even plan on doing any special Christmas lists but since I’ve already done the kitchen list–a very nice list–I might as well do a couple more. This list only goes over shelter, bags, packs and fire starters.… Continue reading Outdoor/Camping/Zombie Preparedness Christmas List
Last night, Tucker, the kids and I watched Community’s Christmas special: Abed’s Uncontrollable Christmas. It’s done in claymation just like my all-time Christmas favorite – Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. However, claymation is where the similarities end. Rudolph was all cute and worried about public acceptance in the face of…well…he had that nose thing. The Community… Continue reading Abed’s Uncontrollable Christmas Tonight!
Back in 2002 I sat in my car outside of Quiznos. I was on my break and the sun had just gone down. It was almost time for me to get off work anyway and I figured I had earned a quick nap. The seat was on it’s way to a fully reclined position when… Continue reading Caramel and Coffee and Whipped Cream…Featuring Norah Jones
Bink and Gollie was sent to us a few weeks ago with the press release giving the suggested age rang of between six and eight. Old for Cara but we’ve never payed much attention to age suggestions on stuff. Glad I didn’t let the age range scare me off. The story is about two friends… Continue reading Bink and Gollie Kids’ Book Review and Giveaway
