I am having one of those days where I seem to be on the go and busy all day, but investigation of the activities that have kept me on the go and busy all day is completely boring and depressing: I spent an hour grocery shopping and half that time putting the groceries away, I […]
"Child abuse": a little rant
January 24, 2011 by
How was your weekend? Mine was quite lovely filled with lots of socializing – hello, fulfilled New Year’s Resolution! – and food. Much delicious food, most of which was made by me.

All the cool kids are doing it!

Me: Remember, Mom and Dad are going on Thursday, we’ll be gone all day Friday, then we are coming back on Saturday. Mark: Can you come back on Sunday instead? So apparently they are […]
