Awesome of All Awesomeness.
Pin itThere is no better title, for I found (via Twitter, but cannot remember who tweeted it!) The Periodic Table of Awesomements. I LOVE Awesome. It is not only my favorite word, but also my favorite STATE OF BEING! I implore you – go check out the full Periodic Table of Awesomements (I included a screen [...]
My Newest Vlog – Baking Cookies for a Cookie Exchange
Pin itI don’t know why I do this. I ac’ a fool and capture it on video. Then I post it on the whole world of wide internets.It’s on the long side (6 minutes and 44 seconds), and I hate monopolizing so much of your time. Here, *hands you a virtual eggnog latte that she made, and [...]
A quickie
Pin itHere’s a quick post. I am feeling a bit undone… overwhelmed. Or maybe I am feeling like a roll of tape where you can’t find the end…. pissy. I feel like I want to cry, and I have no reason to except for the fact that I feel overwhelmed and pissy. See. Please, no [...]
Kid notes.
Pin itThe things that drive me the most crazy about my son, are also the things that endear my heart to him everyday. He is intense and passionate, which sound good, unless things don’t work out the way he’d hoped. He is a planner. He is an “attention to detail” kind-of guy. He has been [...]
Now I feel better.
Pin itI wish I could say I feel better today than yesterday because I am perfectly content with my person/body. I wish it was because I am a deeply deep person who waxes “empathetic” and works tirelessly to save endangered seahorses and suchnesses. BUT. I am shallow — like a kiddie pool. I am also vein vain and [...]
Miss Grumpy Pants
Pin itI’m feeling a wee-bit like a cranky kermudgeon (andIdon’tcareifIspelledthatwrong). It’s just the little things that are making me feel like I am being continuously ever-so-lightly flicked on the forehead continuously… I have a list. Bitter-miserable souls are good list-makers. At least there is some good in here somewhere. The air-brushed fakey perfection of women [...]
Make Me Laugh Monday – Santa & preschool parties
Pin it“I saw mommy kissing Santa Clause…” EWWW! Not so much! I don’t care WHO is under that beard and bright-red suit…. No. Just… NO. My kids are creeped-out by the thought of it too. What can I say, I raise smart kids. Lucy’s preschool Christmas party was yesterday. Every year (all my kids have [...]

Karen Carpenter's vocal twin.
Pin itI am pretty sure that would be me. You remember Karen… with her buttery voice all smooth like a clean shave sans razor burn… Even if you are not a wild fan of The Carpenters (I might fall into that category), it is absolutely inarguable – the woman’s voice is that of an angel. I [...]
Undecided Voter
Pin itA few days after the election, my husband and I saw this in one of the yards at a frat house near the University of Washington. My husband took the picture. I was driving, and told him he HAD to get a good picture, because… hello? I’m a blogger! And, as the old saying [...]
