That means I can skip blogging today – what a relief! I even got a personal reminder from the creator of Blog365… Yesterday’s email stated, and I quote:
Tomorrow is your chance to put down the keyboard and act like a normal human being for a day.
Feb. 29th is the official Blog365 day of rest!
Now that blogging is such a habit, can you go a full day without doing it?
Rest up now, we still have a lot of year left ya know.
And no blogging about not blogging either! That’s still blogging!
Blog On! (Except Tomorrow!)

Whew! That is a huge load off my back. There is no way I’M gonna get on this here computer and create a post… No. Stinkin’. Way. Not on my only day off of the the entire year…. Nuh-Uh. Preach it sister….
Since I tend to sit in a “half-empty glass”, I really have to make an effort to see the brighter side. So, despite my title, here is an attempt to look at the brighter side of some of today’s suckier attributes.
The bright side: In the history of sucky-days – this will not make the top 10, nor the top million, not even close… Continue reading ‘“Today Really Sucks” by Jennifer Ingram’
My friend Casey left today. She’s the one in the center – I’m on the left and Lisa (of The Blozulfog) is on the right. Casey is moving to Arizona, along with her hubs and 2 kiddos. Her daughter is one of my daughter’s dearest friends, and our boys are really great buddies too. We said our “real” goodbye last night. I felt like vomiting a few times. I came home and completely crashed. Continue reading ‘Buh-Bye’
Today, my post is about my sister-in-law, Kerry. But rest assured (I know she is resting assured) that I will be able to bring this post back around to me. I will find a way.
So, if I can just say, The. Girl. Rizocks. The. Cake. World. No, she is not hand-forming frosting roses – Thank. Goodness. She makes cakes like this for her son’s 6th birthday:
I know. You wish she was your mom too.
This is a Star Wars sumpten-r-other (shame on me for not knowing!) I am not kidding. She made this massive battle warrior guy with her own eight two hands. The girl has got skillz. Jealous? I am… Not that I am unable do it – cuz I am so able… I am just too lazy (now see how I’m getting the focus back on me? NOW who has skillz? Eh?)…
Guess what she made for his party last year? Go ahead………. An entire Spiderman city, complete with sky scrapers, a street with yellow lines, cars (Matchbox, of course). Seriously though, she is a friggin’ artists and frosting is her medium.
The cake was so big, the adults had to stand guard while a short-bus-load of kids played dodge ball.
Aaaaaand I wore my
best shoes to the party.
***Update*** It has come to my attention that the cakes she made is a replica of an AT-AT Walker. So, I guess this would be called an AT-AT Walker cake.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if you were wanting to register for this event… don’t bother. It. Is. Closed. Continue reading ‘The Seattle Danskin 2008 Triathlon’
We have had some super-delightful weather this last week. Today has been a bit cloudier, but we had a gorgeous sun break earlier this afternoon. Olivia noticed. She said, “Hey Mom… Today is a really nice day for growing flowers!” That it is…
I just have bits of things floating in my head. Some folks may think this fact clearly illuminates my need to be institutionalized, while others (in the medical community) would simply call them by the names my alternate personalities have given them – Eugenia, Felicia, Josephina Guadalupe Maria Carmen de la Cruz, Southern Bell, Tracy, Tina, Christi and Babs. Just kidding. See… random.
I get a kick out of looking at the “search string” section of my blog stats. I often either feel appalled or tickled. I often find search strings related to the p to the orn industry… apparently “Jenny” is a popular name in that circle. I wouldn’t know from experience. It’s what I have ascertained as a result of blogging. Really! I wouldn’t know… Seriously. Quit it. I am serious!
A recent search string has me bent over in hysterical laughter. Somehow I have communicated one of two things to the Interwoven Web of the Whole Wide World
- I currently have “… a disorder that affects you to where you can’t get organized or keep things tidy”.
- Or… I know how to deal with “…. a disorder that affects you to where you can’t get organized or keep things tidy”
Somehow, MY blog came up when someone searched that phrase. I feel a bit guilty because I’m sure I was of absolutely No. Help… Zilch. Zero. Negatron. But perhaps I was able to be of some comfort. Do you want to know what post it took that searcher to? This one. It was a post about how I love to have things clean, but don’t know how to get there. Just a post of nothing leading to a long trail of nothing – no helpful suggestions, only the bleeding of my heart.

A.K.A. (in our home): “Mocha’ge trois”
Credit goes to my hubs. That came from his brain. He came up with that this weekend. I laughed so hard my abs seized. And I snorted.
Then, this morning, when I made a lil’ coffee run, and I had to order a Mocha’ge trois triple grande mocha, I stumbled about with my words like silly fool… and giggled. I felt like a pre-teen… giggle, giggle, giggle….giggle, giggle, giggle…
