I was watching Condoleezza Rice’s speech and PBS cut her off to go to a “commercial” right after a very emotional part of the speech and I was SO ANGRY! AMY SMASH! Since I can’t be the only person who missed the whole speech last night, I’m putting it up here. You’re welcome. Read the… Continue reading Condoleezza Rice’s RNC Speech Video In Case You Didn’t Get To See It All Either
Just that title makes me sound like one of those crazy people who say they’re “cured” but they’re really not and then they go off and sleep with fifty people or something until they come down from the mania and then they don’t take a shower for a month. So apparently there are a million-billion… Continue reading Quit My Meds?
Yesterday sucked. The end. For the most part it’s still Cara and when she reads this in a couple of years, she’ll understand just how awesome her parents are for letting her live that long. Yeah. When I was younger, I never bought into that whole “Respect your elders,” thing. That makes me a very… Continue reading Diary Entry 7.31.12
I don’t remember when we bought this monitor but I know we’ve had it since at least 2008. And it’s missing its base. The monitor is currently sitting in a “base” Tucker created out of a cardboard box and I have a hair brush between the monitor and the wall so I’m almost able to get a… Continue reading How To Buy a New Monitor–A Most Awesome Guide
I remember the day before kindergarten picture day I had a loose top tooth and it was ready to come out. I pulled the first and having that second sitting there messed with my young sense of symmetry and I sat in front of my mirror and wiggled that second front tooth until it was ready… Continue reading Cara Lost Two Teeth in Two Days
I need one big, fat, squishy nap. And a drink. In short, I need a few days to recoup from conference fatigue; there are only so many days I can stay up till 0400 and get up at 0700. This conference was a bit different for me since I was working it instead of attending… Continue reading Type-A Con 2012 Recap Even You Will Want To Read
Did I mention Cara asked how babies are “created?” Cause that was fun. Since she’s five and stuff. Of course she asked THE QUESTION as we were getting out of the SUV to go grocery shopping. Apparently I asked the exact same thing when I was her age. I guess Tucker’s going to blame me… Continue reading “Sex? Babies are Made By Sex?”
If you’re looking for a highbrow wine then you’ve come to the wrong place…on so many levels. First off, watch this: The video cracks me up. Just thought you should know. Spodee was a Depression era hooch that mixed up homemade country wines with garden herbs, spices and moonshine. The resulting brew was then put… Continue reading Spodee Hooch Wine Review
I gave the kids two hours to pick up their rooms. “You only pick up your room. Take all of the toys and toss them in the Playroom if they’re soft toys. Please don’t throw the toys if they’re hard toys. Take any clothes and throw them in the laundry room. Shoes in the closet.… Continue reading They Didn’t Pick Up Their Toys So I Confiscated Them
This is the weird limbo time where I’m about to start my period–How about I just toss that out there, right? You’re welcome.–and stuff isn’t working so well in my head. Hormones are amazing things and for me, they seem to bring on mild bouts of paranoia and a bit of anger. Looks like this… Continue reading Um…Not Sure What To Title This and Jason Mraz Song and a Gif
Other than some thyme, basil and five pea pods, radishes seem to be the only thing I’ve managed to grow–and harvest–with somewhat reliable success. I put them in the measuring cup with water because I wasn’t quite ready to break the news to them that they were heading for my salad; I took that picture… Continue reading Garden Update 50 Bajillion Million!
I’ve never read a single one of George R. R. Martin’s books; I haven’t gotten around to them yet. I’ve never seen an episode of Game of Thrones; we don’t have cable. I expected Game of Thrones to stand on its own merits. That’s not too much to ask of a game that had been… Continue reading Game of Thrones Game Review Gif Heavy YAY!
