Big Fat Harry Plot

J. K. Rowling is trying to take over the world through social isolation, lack of personal hygiene and sleep deprivation. With half the world’s population starved for quality sleep, unshowered and refusing to talk to even their closest friends, Ms. Rowling is poised to take over the muggle world.
I finally finished last night and [...]

Raging on the Road to Pass the Time

On long cross-country drives, it is not unusual for me to find my Newman, that innocuously evil nemesis who seems intent on ruining the flow of my driving or simply driving me insane.
Their driving travesties are honestly not that bad when compared with say, global terrorism or Barney, but they’re just annoying enough to make [...]

And A Pestilence of Feminine Hygiene Products Shall Rain Down Upon Their Heads

This weekend we wrangled all six bebes into our minivans and headed downtown for the obligatory Guests-In-Town-Must-See-Water visit to Pike Place Market and the pier in Seattle.
Shortly into the drive I noticed my cell phone was missing. Should we go back? Not by the peanut butter smears on their chinny chin chins! [...]

Laylee has a Fever… Just Like Earth

So, I’m not sure what I think about Global Warming. The world seems to be in an uproar and when the entire world is in an uproar AND has a fever, I try to listen and respect that. I’ve even got An Inconvenient Truth… somewhere… in my Netflix queue.
I haven’t done [...]

Well That Was Fun

So yesterday morning started with my eyes snapping open at 6am. I tugged at Dan, my entire body a ball of Christmas morning-like energy. “Heeeheeee. I’m gonna be on TV in 2 hours. Heeeheeee.”
He was unannoyed but unmoved as I rocked him back and forth with my hands. “Heeheee. [...]

Flamingos and the Resurrection – The Art of “MegaCorp”

A large sittable sculpture is located in the courtyard between buildings at Dan’s office. Now, I’m not an art critic, at least not a constructive or educated one, so I’ll stick to talking about the landscaping which surrounds the huge brown log-like creation.
The courtyard is big and round, paved with stark gray cement the [...]

Polly’s Godless House of Hoochie-Wear

Laylee was playing Polly Pockets with a grownup friend the other day.  I wasn’t around but here’s the way I heard it went down.
Laylee:  This dress is beautiful.
Marge:  Yeah.
Laylee:  But it’s not modest.
Marge:  Hmm..
Laylee:  Should she wear it?
Marge:  I don’t know.  What do you think?
Laylee [carefully considering]:  I think she should wear it.  There’s no [...]

My Favorite Things- A Petition

I’ve noticed a disturbing trend over the last few years in our media.  There is an increased use of the song, My Favorite Things, as an anthem of Christmas and I think it’s just wrong.  I can offer plenty of evidence for this.  First of all, Fräulein Maria sang it to the children in the middle [...]

Kathryn’s Weekend BlogHer Tattoo Parlor

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.
