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!
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 writing this super early today before I finally crawl into bed. What’s funny is that I’m usually up this late but after you’ve spent hours in an ER, you get a bit bushed. Ollie had his ENT appointment yesterday and we were up and moving much earlier than is normal for us. Cara mentioned… Continue reading Cara’s Trip to the ER
I’m writing this today but I’m going to post this tomorrow so you jump in your time machine and figure all that out. The reason the time matters to me is that I know tomorrow I’ll be OK. Tomorrow I hope I’m OK. When this posts, I’ll know. Probably. Yesterday–today–was a rough fucking day. Cara… Continue reading “Sometimes Mommy Gets Sad” Talk
I tried to grow things when we were in the apartment and I managed to grow an impressive cache of purple basil I bought at Target on a whim. I have no clue as to what variety it was but it looked like these Dark Purple Opal Basil plants. That stuff grew like crazy and… Continue reading Gardening Obsession
You know you love this song. You also don’t want to admit it but, come on, you KNOW you sing it when it comes on. Especially in the shower. It’s OK. I do it, too. I’ve written about this damn song before and I’ll do it again. Because I WANT TO, people. Deal. Cause you… Continue reading Rolling In the Deep: The Song That Just Won’t Die Covers
SOMEONE SAVE US!!! The kids will not stop interrupting us and it is about to drive Tucker and me absolutely crazy. Like running around the apartment and pulling our hair out by the roots crazy. HALP! It took Tucker at least 30 minutes to tell me a ten minute story because Cara and Ollie wouldn’t… Continue reading Mayday! Mayday! Someone Save Us From Our Children!

I’ve been looking at houses to buy since we lived in Florida seven years ago–I can’t believe it’s been that long! Something always came up that made the idea of buy a house kind of silly but we’ve been in Huntsville for almost three years and Tucker finally has a stable job and we’ve kind… Continue reading We’ve Almost Bought a House!
I got three or four texts from the Weather Channel last night before I believed we were actually going to get some rain. This huge gust of wind came down the breezeway and it sounded like it was coming to get me. I decided that was a good time to go in. By the time… Continue reading Last Night’s Storm
One of the games everyone seems to be talking about right now is Portal 2. If you bought The Orange Box back in ’07 then I’m sure you remember the first Portal. The game was innovative in that there hadn’t really been anything like it before and it was short so of course it was… Continue reading Zero Punctuation Portal 2 Review
Since I’m heading to L.A. in just over a month for E3, I needed business cards. I still have some minicards floating around from 2007 but they all have b5media on them and since b5 canned all of their staff writers–myself included, I’m not in the mood to give them real estate on my business… Continue reading My Business Cards Don’t Suck!
