In a stunning comeback, leaping two categories from Tragic Excuses straight up to the Hall of Fame, Rachelle has now been added to the Tattoo Parlor as part of her official coming out party…
She took a bunch of drugs.
She tested positive.
Feel free to head on over and congratulate her.
One of the things I learned working in the media department of a public library with a massive film collection was that people like scaring the living chigooly out of themselves on or around October 31st. What many people learned the hard way was that if you go to a video store or library the [...]
We live near Seattle. We’re close enough that the commute is decent but far enough into the nowhere that we’d be more likely to go cow-tipping than clubbing on a typical Thursday night.
We have a slightly smaller public market than the big city, slightly more people dressed as giant cornstalks in the Fourth of July [...]
I “borrowed” a handful of washable tattoos from the mommybloggers at BlogHer this summer and mailed them out to about 30 of you. These 30 swore by blood oath to send me pictures of themselves wearing said tatts. Here are the results.

Magoo has become addicted to string “cheece.” After 2 string cheeces yesterday, I had a hard time explaining to Laylee why I was rejecting his pitiful cries for more cheece. The bowels, the stoppage. Dude, mom. It’s just cheece.
I explained ad nauseum about variety and how our bodies will only grow healthy and strong if [...]
Yesterday evening as Laylee evacuated her bowels prior to retiring for the night to her bedchamber, she informed me that she was “goin’ to the pod.”

Laylee: Yeah, I’m goin’ to the “pod” because, well, I’m sitting on the pod-EE. So, it’s like I’m goin’ to the “pod.” Yeah, it’s like that.
I will grant [...]
The spiders of Washington State have teamed up with the haunted forest behind my house to ensure a spooky good time for everyone who lives here. Giant spider webs stretch from every tree, column and fence post around our yard. In the morning, the dew clings to them, making them appear thick, white and stiff.

Dan’s family left us this morning while I slept. I miss them already. The 3 day visit seemed too short and disorganized. We didn’t plan ahead what we would do or talk to them about their expectations for the trip. So when it came time to go do something, we’d sit around like the vultures [...]
I drove behind a semi-truck for a couple of miles that was either full of freshly cut evergreen trees or Vicks Vaporub.
I heard bells chime on a classical recording yesterday morning.
Last week I could see my breath.
What do you do to entertain your kids when they are too-sick-to-go-outside but not-sick-enough-to-lie-passively on-the-couch? Or when one is sick and the other is bored silly?
What are some alternatives to TV-watching for little kids (under three) when Mommy is too sick to do anything but lie on the couch?
These questions are brought to you by [...]
