It’s Pyjama Day at the boys’ school today and – this may not seem significant to you, but it IS – Mark is wearing pyjamas! Not once has Mark ever worn pyjamas on Pyjama Day. He has always preferred to wear just regular clothes, despite the pyjama clad children everywhere. His refusal to conform to […]
Are you feeling sad? It’s Blue Monday!
January 16, 2012 by
My very good friend reminded me this morning that today is Blue Monday, the saddest day of the year, and yet I’m not feeling sad. That’s a win! I am, however, feeling cold; our mild, springlike winter has suddenly ended. The dog keeps looking at me balefully, probably trying to telepathically communicate to me his […]
Saturday the Fourteenth, the Black Boot Edition
January 14, 2012 by
I am not a very superstitious person, so I am not going to put any weight on the fact that I woke up last night and the clock read 3:16. In related news, did you know there is a football game with very high (emotional) stakes tonight? Things are going to be TENSE in the […]

I’m so excited! And I just can’t hide it! I’m about to lose control and I think I like it!
December 2, 2011 by
I’m a whirling dervish of excitedness today because it’s my husband’s work party tonight! Squee! I have a new dress and everything. I know a lot of people hate going to their spouse’s – or their own – work parties because, yawn, boring. And don’t get me wrong, I’m sure this party will also be […]

Yesterday as I was driving the kids to school, Maneater came on the radio. You know it’s going to be a great day when Hall and Oates is on the radio! Oh oh here she comes. Watch out, boys, she’ll chew you up! Oh oh here she comes. She’s a MANEATER. Now THAT’s what I […]
