Get an Omnivore - STAT!

We were driving by the animal hospital the other day when Laylee pointed excitedly, “Look mom. Look. That’s the vegetarian. If JackAgain is ever sick, we’ve GOTTA take him to the vegetarian!”
It seems reasonable. They’d probably get along okay, seeing as they have similar dietary restrictions.
This morning I woke up with [...]

Some Things are Humorous… To Me

When Laylee was building her snowman this afternoon, she asked, “Can you please get me two blueberries and a carrot… and some more blueberries?”
This is literally the funniest site I’ve visited all week. I’m wondering if I could really get a ticket on a literal roller coaster to Hell by simply eating lots of [...]

Bunks, Thugs and Harmony

Bunkbeds at Costco were ripe for the picking and who am I to argue with purchasing furniture when it’s in season? About a year ago they had them in stock and I wasn’t QUITE quick enough snatching one up. When I went back they were gone and we haven’t found a set as [...]

He Thinks He’s a Dide-O-Swear and I Love Quinoa

Magoo is growling it up and I’m telling all over at Parenting.
Do you know how cute it is when a 2 and 4-year-old beg for quinoa? It’s way cuter than when they beg for cookies. WAY cuter. If you don’t make quinoa, you really should give it a try.

Biggest Loser - EXPOSED

It has come to my attention that the entire Biggest Loser franchise, Jillian Michaels specifically, is not working to help overweight Americans but rather attempting to kill fat people.
I started watching last season when Dan was working a billion hours and there was nothing on TV Tuesday nights and heaven forbid I do anything [...]

A Quick 70 Bucks

I drove out to a nice hotel by the airport tonight and made a quick 70 bucks. I sold my music tastes to a big market research company in exchange for enough money to pay for the heart rate monitor and exercise mat I purhcased for my yearly trip into hard core exercise mode. [...]

Death in the Winter

They’re dead, all dead. I left them for 2 weeks in a cold house with no food source and now they’re gone, gone for good. It was an intentional mass gnat-ocide but I find that I’m strangely lonely for the pitter patter of their little wings, for the way they would lovingly nuzzle [...]

Not so Good with the Follow-up

My blog goals for 2008 will be:
1. Write something. Yes, it’s drastic but I like to shoot for the stars. In 2008 I plan to actually write something on a regular basis on this blog, as though I were, in essence, a blogger, of sorts.
2. Do a little more of the [...]

I Know What Year it Is

It’s 2008 and I’m so relieved. I’ve been thinking it was 2008 since about June. For some reason the even numbered years just don’t sit well with me. For the first half of 2007 I thought it was 2006. Then one day around the longest day of the year, it suddenly [...]
