On the left side of the sanity bell curve
This is one of those posts where I had a bunch of little things to write about but nothing that inspired me to dedicate much time to writing a post on each thing. Make sense? On to the little things. My text to Tucker, “Can we hire a nanny?” I never got a response. From… Continue reading I Don’t Know Either But Read It Anyway Cause That’ll Make Me Happy
How’s THAT for one hell of a title? We heard the mail truck–the thing is seriously loud–and the kids and I went out to see what the dude had left us. Some of our neighbors were outside and I was wearing less than flattering attire so I turned us around and as we were about… Continue reading There’s a Dead Bunny On My Porch
I always feel like I have to excuse myself for being a huge dork even though you ALL know I’m a huge dork. It’s not like it’s a secret or something. I’m going to be talking about Doctor Who–rather good comments in this other Doctor Who post–again. This is where I excuse myself for being… Continue reading Doctor Who and Donna Complete with Gifs
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
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
We’ve finally started watching Dr. Who after a hiatus that lasted several months. A couple of episodes were just “off” and the thrill was gone. Or something. Am I the only one who thinks Rose was the best companion? Tucker doesn’t get why I still pine for Rose. Martha Jones doesn’t hold a candle to… Continue reading Dr. Who Shirts I Lust After
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 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
“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
We knew it would only be a matter of time before The Hunger Games would go from a book to a movie and then to a game. Not just any kind of game. A Facebook game! Now you can double the time you waste on Facebook! Panem needs you! Embark on a daring adventure beyond… Continue reading The Hunger Games Facebook Game. I’m Not Even Joking.
I don’t remember ever reading Where the Wild Things Are [affiliate link] when I was little but it’s one of those books you’re supposed to read so I bought it for Cara. I like the book but listening to Christopher Walken read it makes me love it.
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
