Well, dammit. I guess I’m never watching Grey’s Anatomy again. You know, I ALMOST stopped watching after Meredith’s near-death experience, and I ALMOST stopped watching when Denny had a recurring post-death role, and I ALMOST stopped watching when there was a hospital shooting – the swat team was right there, how did they not take […]

SANTA’S COMING (in less than three months)
September 26, 2012 by 12 Comments
Yesterday I kept hearing people say “It’s only three months until Christmas!” which got me to feeling like this: SANTA’S COMING! Of course, in three months from today I will be either a) taking down the tree and packing up the decorations because that is ENOUGH Christmas, or b) wishing I was taking down the […]
Tony Romo and his huge boner
September 22, 2012 by 8 Comments
My husband was watching Sunday NFL Countdown, when I overheard the commentator say “Tony Romo had the biggest boner in NFL history.” Who uses the word “boner” interchangeably with “screw up” anymore?

It was Jake’s seventh birthday yesterday!

Batting 500

It all started when I read my friend Swistle’s post about behaviours that are “mom-ish” and behaviours that are “old lady-ish”. For example, referring to youth as “young people today”, fumbling for change while the grocery store lineup expands behind, and so forth. Swistle said, and I quote: “Have you noticed that each generation thinks […]
A touch of the mitten-tip
September 11, 2012 by 11 Comments
I have been reading the Little House series to the boys for a while now, and we are now almost finished that epistle of madcap gaiety, Little Town on the Prairie. As opposed to the very depressing previous book, The Long Winter – everyone is going to die! – this book is full of exciting […]
