Yes, Karin, I do have 972 blogs.
The Internet called me recently and asked if I’d start a blog of haikus for IT guys. I figured, why not? I’m not that busy.
Phew… the Internet is a demanding master. When we meetup each day, it’s always asking me to look over here, click this link, read this [...]
Wow there is SO much “content” out there in the World (Wide Web) to inform, amuse, and berate today’s parent.
I mean, don’t get me wrong. Some of it is actually useful. Such as the answers to basic questions like “Which end is up, again?” “Will it ever stop pooping?” and the classic follow up, “Will [...]
Thanks to my husband, I got the chance to listen to the ultimate rant on America… from my favorite Brit, Stephen Fry. He has a fantastic podcast called Stephen Fry’s Podgrams. Some are scripted, others are extemporaneous. That is major.
Fry came to America for his BBC series Stephen Fry’s America, now available on DVD. No [...]
After a visit to Colin’s work, we were all famished for lunch today.
Nothing says special holiday like a big bucket of KFC. We got the family 12 piece meal and just about devoured all of it together.
Dining on fast food on Christmas eve always reminds me of my own childhood. Ever so often — after [...]
My sudden craving for Worcestershire sauce-and-butter- encrusted cereal is a hint about my heritage. Maybe in techno-America, the idea of “heritage” is almost obsolete, except that it isn’t. My iPhone 3G will be nostalgia in a year or two, so hearkening back to the “old days” of baking Chex Mix with my sisters for the [...]
“So tell me your dream
Lay your head on my pillow
Tell me the things that you hide away
Your pain
Your pleasure
Your sorrow
Tell me the things that you hide away
Your pain your pleasure your sorrow.”
–Blue Rodeo
If you are looking for the less fortunate, you can find them waiting in long lines outside the St Charles rescue mission on [...]
Note: Version three of this blog post
I am a huge admirer of Stacy DeBroff. This woman, the CEO of Momcentral.com, is a marketing genius and a fantastic business model built around one of her own passions– being a mom.
And yeah, I’m a little jealous. She’s wildly successful, spending many early mornings with Matt Lauer! [...]
We volunteered to make snacks for our friend’s free concert and I enlisted the very enthusiastic help of three eager assistants.
I love to bake– pretty much in inverse proportion to how much I do not like cooking. I think it has something to do with the outcome. I see food on the table as necessary [...]
I had a revelation whilst reading a recipe suggestion from my friend Jeannie today.
Midwestern recipes seem to always involve spraying a pan with Pam and sprinkling Durkee Fried Onions.
We’ve been revamping our eating as you might guess to make things a bit more family friendly. Suggestions for dinners have been very “bake and freeze” in [...]
Or, The Saddest Day Thus Far
Colin just drove away with our Honda Fit. Honestly, I had NO idea how attached I’d gotten to that car. I truly felt like crying.
It was cute, and peppy, with five on the floor, and the most no-frills, no-nonsense style of any car I’d ever met. Yes, it had cup [...]
Or, The Case of My Dad and Neosporin
I’d like to say, for the record, that I always thought it was weird that Neosporin had the word “spore” in the middle of it. That might have been, partly, why I always liked it.
I also know that I liked it because my Dad was totally obsessed with [...]
… that Colin and I are NOT YET with children. I mean, you can look everywhere around our house for kids and all you will find is one very strange cat who will not, for any reason, allow you to pick her up.
The curious thing about being married in the suburbs in Connecticut and being [...]
Let’s face it… Neither you nor I can think of a single thing we don’t like about Kelly Ripa. I mean, come ON! Witty, freakin’ adorable, snazzy dresser (but not too showy!)– she is the ultimate Gracie Allen to Regis’s 958 year-old George Burns.
That’s One Cupcake with a Cause!
When I started seeing uber-Kelly in the [...]
In the latest round of Facebook madness, I am starting to come to terms with my own problem with these waves of social networking sites. I’m investing quite a bit of time there and I am wondering if that time might be better invested typing on the Royal Futura and riding my bike.
Background: I am [...]
So Colin and I were going to do The Master Cleanse. Which is a great way to lose weight, but not the reason why one should do it. It’s a cleanse, after all, designed for clearing out toxins and getting you healthy.
Day one was yesterday and as mentioned in yesterday’s post “Hungryland”, I spent the [...]
