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
Tucker Being Right and Me Freaking Out About Being Alone with Ollie [Gif Heavy! YAY!]

Cara starts school this fall and you’d think I would be freaking out about the kindergarten thing. Instead, I’m freaking out about Ollie being home with me. For two years.

This Is Why Kids Shouldn’t Play with Other Kids
Last month we were all sick with some sort of soul-sucking sickness that lasted far too long. Once we had recovered, Tucker and I agreed that if we had just taken everyone to the doctor then we probably would have suffered A LOT less. Oops. Now I’m back from Blissdom and the kids are sick… Continue reading This Is Why Kids Shouldn’t Play with Other Kids

If you’re anything like me, the “previous/next” post navigation just doesn’t work for ya. I tend to get myself confused on exactly what previous and next mean once I’ve dug myself into my site. A change of words was needed. The code below changes the wording for previous and next on posts and when you’re… Continue reading Change Previous and Next Text in Thesis On Pages and Posts
ADD Moment and Military Song Schtuff

I was worried that, with the kids gone, I was still going to wake up at my–way too early–regular time and wouldn’t take full advantage of this whole “kidless” thing.

There’s this thing I’ve been rolling around in my head for a while now about how most parents–particularly the ones who don’t play video games–are scared of games and are scared of their kids going on a shooting spree because of games. Maybe I’m exaggerating a tiny bit, but there is a lot fear around… Continue reading Educating Parents About Video Game Ratings Via New ESRB Campaign
Pedigree and Westminster Break Up Pound Puppies Rejoice

One of my favorite and hated ad campaigns has been the Pedigree ads for shelter dogs. Favorite because I love shelter dogs. My first dog, Sydney, was a shelter dog. She had been a “bait dog” for a local pit bull fighting ring and was evidence. I was fostering her and if I hadn’t been… Continue reading Pedigree and Westminster Break Up Pound Puppies Rejoice
