It’s snowing right now, big huge flakes that are sending the city into a panic, traffic-wise, as always happens for the first serious snowfall. DRIVE SLOW, HOMEY. I should be more irritated with the snow, but it gives me an excuse to stay home and drink hot beverages, rather than take a trip to the […]
"Pa Ingalls Was Such a Massive Dickhead"

Few things, I find, are more offensive and soul-destroying than trying to find parking in the busy Costco lot and then finding some spots, only to discover at the last minute that there are several giant carts stranded in the vacant parking spots, the vacant parking spots that are mere steps from the parking lot cart […]

I feel like I, perhaps, left my dear readers hanging; I will make amends by updating you on the goings-on in the Boyhouse. 1) Mark has been using an inhaler for a week, and he has NOT COUGHED FOR A WEEK.

Birthdays, Mommy Makeovers, Easter, and Earth Day

It was my birthday yesterday, just in case you missed the announcements and my not-so-shy reminders from the rooftops. I love birthdays.

When she asked me to guest post, I was thrilled and started a post on non-Newtonian liquids. That’s fun to say. Non-Newtonian liquids. This morning I woke up feeling all stabby […]
