More Stupid People Being Stupid
Okay, so you would steal the money if your kids weren’t there, but not if they were? What about when they READ ABOUT THIS IN THE NEWSPAPER? It’s on the AP wire, lady! It’s all over the world!

Veggie Tales Saves the Day
Little Girl did not have a good afternoon. She has half days all week, so she has extra time to be pouty if she doesn’t get to do what she wants, as she did not today. I’m sorry. The life of a kid whose mom works out of the home is sooo rough. Sometimes we…

March Photo a Day: 29
I am way way behind on these, and probably won’t catch up, so here I present to you, a day in advance, the assignment FEET. Not technically a foot but close enough. I like the reflection of the fence and the blue sky in the puddle.

Here Comes Peter Cottontail Giveaway
I vaguely remember seeing this 1971 flick when I was a kid. Back then, I thought all movies were shot through with “snow” due to our poor reception and the quality of the video. This movie belongs on the shelf next to all your other Claymation classics, like FROSTY THE SNOWMAN, RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER,…

Little Girl Writes
Earlier this school year, around Halloween, Little Girl brought home this story: A dark, dark wood. A Black tale of Danger. I’m not sure what it says on the bottom; LG didn’t remember, either. But it’s evocative. A great beginning to a spooky tale. Yesterday, she brought home this story: Once there was a jaguar.…

Handling Lows and Highs
Let me tell you about my week. My week had some bad, and good, parts. I found out that noncompaction cardiomyopathy, a rare genetic condition, runs in my family, and that my heart’s walls are thick in the same areas as affected family members. Though my walls are thicker than average in some areas, my…

Food Friday
On Thursday, I went to a Moms’ Night In at a friend’s. It was Craft Night, meaning everyone was to bring a craft to work on (or knitting or whatever) meaning that we basically stood around talking, eating, and drinking and doing very little in the way of crafting. Typical MNI. I did manage to…

Cat Voice
I made the horrendous mistake one day of getting this free app called Talking Tom on my phone. You can talk into it, and it repeats what you said back in a high pitched voice. You can also pet it, which gives you points; and buy all sorts of ridiculous stuff, like virtual food. It’s…

Cooking Disasters
I’ve been having a spate of cooking mishaps. Not all in a row, frequent enough so I’ve kept track and saved them up to tell you about them. Sous Vide salmon Cooking disaster number one: Hazelnut and Coriander Spiced Sous-Vide Salmon. This looked like a Good Idea at the time. No fishy smell! (Not that…

March Photo a Day 18: A Corner of Your House
This was the most interesting corner of my house. We have three fish in there: an angel fish, a tiger barb, and a red platy. Originally, there was a guppy instead of an angel fish, but the tiger barb attacked the guppy and killed it. We then went to a proper aquarium store as opposed…
