On the left side of the sanity bell curve
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!

The first time I saw a jar of oil covered sun dried tomatoes, I knew something was very, very wrong. Those weren’t tomatoes! Those things looked like a tomato and a raisin had produced some sort of unnatural baby. And then I tried one. I quickly converted to the side of tomato raisin babies. Unfortunately,… Continue reading Step By Step Easy Sun Dried Tomatoes Recipe
Remember way back when when I wrote about KmartGamer taking three very lucky bloggers to E3 with them and how it would be all paid for and stuff and HOLY FREAKING COW! At least that’s how it was to me in my head–consider yourself lucky you don’t have to be in there all the time. As… Continue reading I’m Going To E3 Cause I’m a Winner

I officially lost it last night. I thought I would be OK and I was pretty sure I was going to hold it together until last night. I had to go to Target with the kids yesterday and though it wasn’t the horrible, soul reaping experience I had feared it would be, it had a… Continue reading Things Fall Apart
Tucker’s going to drill and that means we have to stock up on things like milk and bread and such. It’s not that I can’t go by myself, it’s that I don’t want to. Since it was lunch time and we were out anyway, Tucker said we’d run through a fast food joint on the… Continue reading Why are You Always Banging Mommy?
I was probably in third grade when my teacher very delicately told me I had “diarrhea of the mouth.” And looking back on it, I realize she had a point. I’ve always talked a lot and if I hear my mom say one more time, “Think before you speak!” I’ll probably staple my mouth shut.… Continue reading Diarrhea of the Mouth
This was a weekend for firsts for me. First time someone called me ma’am – AND MEANT IT – the first time my mom came to visit for an entire weekend and we didn’t fight and actually had a great time, the first time someone read something of mine and understood the characters. So. Let’s… Continue reading She Might Be Biased
One of the worst feelings is that of being a prisoner in your own home. [There was some other dribble here but it was specific to TWO nights ago when I was writing this and since I apparently suck at completing blog post right now, I deleted that other stuff and put this in instead.… Continue reading The Alarm
I know you’re probably getting tired of hearing about BlogHer and hell, it hasn’t even happened yet. I was going to wait on this post until later in the week but have now realized that Mom’s coming tomorrow and from then on it’s going to be a mad dash to get everything done. REALLY glad… Continue reading ANOTHER BlogHer Post But This Time with Clothes
I’ve been putting off this post since about 9 o’clock this morning. That’s around the time that I called the vet to check on Oscar and around the time that Cara started “calling” Oscar with our home phone. You know it’s bad when you call to ask when you can pick up your cat and… Continue reading I’m Essentially a Coward
