Did you make a resolution to do more service? Well, this counts!

This is the new book that just came out to benefit the Nielsons (Nie Nie and her husband were the ones in the terrible plane crash. Burned badly, millions of $$$ of hospital bills.) It’s written by all the wittiest and most delightful bloggers. Naturally I’m in it. (For real!)… Read More

Do you have a sister? Do you have daughters? Then you’d better get on over to Segullah where I’m posting today. But you can still read it if you are an only child. And have a bunch of sons. Or no children at all. And are a man. By Hildie… Read More

Don’t be such a dummy

Jasper is having a hard week. His grand passion (A.K.A. his pacifier. Known around here as “the dummy”) was nowhere to be found on Friday night. I took that as a sign from the parenting gods that his days of sucking on silicone were at an end. With most of… Read More

Where’s Zimbabwe?

I don’t know why the U.S. decided that Saddam Hussein was public enemy #1 with that evil wacko Robert Mugabe running around*. I seriously can’t understand why somebody hasn’t taken that guy out. He has run Zimbabwe into the ground. What was once the most literate, rich country in Africa… Read More

Today’s post is two Weight Watchers points

Today is a big day. It’s the beginning of Tiburon’s Biggest Loser contest, featuring a (hopefully) huge cash prize that I intend on winning. (It’s not going to be like the last two times when I came in near–ahem–last place.) I can just feel the motivation swelling within me! In… Read More

M-I-C-K-E-Y

I never really gave much of a recap of my trip to Orlando. Mostly because I didn’t want to mention that I was on vacation lest any thieves be avid readers of my blog and decide to rob me while I was gone. We went to Disneyworld with most of… Read More

Decompression

Just got home from Florida. Realized that I forgot to fill up the tank of the rental car. That’s an expensive whoops. Woke the kids up at 4:30 this morning to get to the airport. They haven’t had a decent night’s sleep since before we left. Smelly and tired. Maybe… Read More

Baby New Year

Happy 2009! Is it just me or does 2009 seem incredibly futuristic? Today on the news everybody was “predicting” (otherwise known as wishing) the economy to turn around and start to thrive this year (right around Jan. 20th, I’m guessing). I predict complete chaos and/or destruction and/or economic meltdown this… Read More
