The handle broke off of my favourite mug a couple of weeks ago. It was a tall, lidded, blue ceramic cup with flowers on it that I had received in a gift basket from my husband’s colleagues when Mark was born. I have used this mug every day since then, and now it is broken. […]
We’re all going to die! But hopefully not at the zoo.
June 15, 2011 by
The other day, there was a study that reported that watching over two hours of television per day increased one’s risk of death. I hate to get all caught up in the details, but the risk of death is 100%. I’m going to just go ahead and assume that the study meant premature death. Speaking […]
The Wonder Pets Save the Clematis
June 9, 2011 by
June is such a busy and frantic month, and it seems like everyone is off their game just the teeniest bit. Or is that just my house? Hoo boy, the number of ridiculous arguments that have been going on around here is epic. Epic, I tell you.

What does one need to wear to the Rapture?
May 19, 2011 by
So apparently the term “whale tail” is not as commonly known as I thought. Here’s a snapshot from Wikipedia: It’s just as classy as a pair of Daisy Dukes and a crop top. Do you remember that scene in The 40 Year Old Virgin where Andy and Cal catch a glimpse of the salesgirl’s whale […]
Friday the 13th, and Privilege Problems
May 14, 2011 by
I just realized, now, that it is Friday the 13th! Maybe that explains things, and by things I mean my state of crossness and irritability, although I really think that my attitude is more likely attributed to my lack of sleep and excessive worry due to my son having pneumonia, rather than the date. I […]
