Sometimes I like to play a game called “If I Were A Rodent, Where Would I Build A Nest For My Babies?” This game gets boring because the answer is always the same – out in the bamboo pile in the corner of the Daring Yard, where the garden is supposed to be.
I keep [...]
I can safely say the best part of the weekend was listening to Laylee say “Mudder’s Day” around 400 times. Happy Mudder’s Day. I’m so glad it’s Mudder’s Day. Did you know I get to sing in church because it’s MUDDER’S DAY??!!! You are a wonderful mudder!
Ah. I hope she’s [...]
Erin and I have booked our flights and rooms for BlogHer. Some other fun people will likely be joining us. I’m already taking notes on what I want to learn and picking out shoes. Are you going? Would you like to go? The women at Mommybloggers are generously paying for [...]

Dan and I are a tad twisted. We are also literate and we have children. We like to read to them. We also encourage them to yell “helloooo” down storm drains to the imaginary people and piranhas who have made the sewer their home, but that’s neither here nor there.

Note to self: When meeting the new people next door, say something innocuous like, “Welcome” or “Cute kid you got there.”
Do not compliment them in detail on their bold new kitchen décor… in their kitchen you cannot see from the front door… in their house that you’ve never set foot in.
When speaking to a [...]
So, thanks ever so much for coming and reading and putting up with all the Tom Foolery that goes on here. It would help me out a ton if you’d be willing to take a minute or twelve and fill out a reader survey. It helps me and my advertisers know a little [...]
Evidence is mounting that I may in fact be ULTIMATE.
When we bought my new laptop, Dan went out to buy software. He came home with Windows Vista and Office and I protested, “The computer came with Vista already installed.”
“No,” said Dan, “It came with Vista Home Edition. I got you Vista ULTIMATE.”
Apparently you [...]
We’ve all been a bit sick and a lot lazy the past few days. Our throats are scratchy, our noses runneth over, and we’ve all complained of a shortness of candy. [...more]
