Things I Forgot To Tell You

Remember my Blogiversary contest? I actually did pick a winner, I swear, I didn’t just make all that up and buy myself a present, although I did sort of want to, because I am a bad person.  A very bad person. Anyway, the winner was Rachel and I hope she got the Anthropologie gift card [...]

OMG, Luke Is So Hott!

Remember those book lists that are always going around the internet, where you’re supposed to say which ones you’ve read, which ones you’ve started but never finished, and which ones you haven’t read? I’m pretty sure I’ve done that here, at some point, but I don’t put too much credence in it because any list [...]

Welcome to a World Record Amount of Totally Unneccesary Capitalization and other Hackneyed Writerly Devices: Population You

This is a totally rude and ungrateful thing to say, but eh, par for the course around here, right?  Anyway, I think I’m TATGMP (Totally About To Get My Period) (TMI, I know) but sometimes I have these days where it feels like every interaction and every transaction and every brush with someone just gives [...]

Camp Never Again

Dudes, you know how sometimes you just have this overwhelming feeling that you’re not in the mood, at all, to do something that you’ve had planned? My mom calls it Symphony Syndrome and it happens to me all the time.  Friday morning I was digging camping shit out of the garage and harassing Mr. E [...]

Make A Difference With Just One Comment

What a wonderful way to celebrate the birth of a daughter.
For every comment Cass gets on this post, she is donating a whopping $9 to breast cancer research! So go comment away and let’s help get rid of breast cancer for us, and for our daughters, for once and for all.

Fat Boy Slim

Gawd. Sometimes it would be so helpful to not have just the ONE baby as your whole frame of reference for what to do with just the ONE baby.
So the other day I took Eli to the new doctor, as I mentioned.  A new doctor because we just moved from desolate burg to much better [...]

Dining Room Update. Otherwise Known As Snoozeville.

Remember my cabinet, the one I was painting white?
It’s finished, minus the knobs on the bottom drawers. I ended up painting the inside blue, just for kicks.
Please note the hummingbird feeder of death can be seen in the reflection in the door.

I was going to put my cookbooks inside, but they’ll only fit on [...]

PSA – Celi@c Disease

Hey, if you or anyone you know (especially your kids) has Celi@c Disease or Gluten Intolerance, would you leave me a comment or email me? I suspect Eli might have it, and I am looking for as much information as I can find. Thank you!

The Birds and The Bees

So, Mr. E has a thing for birds.  And it’s not a small thing.  (Hee.)  It’s a large life list making bird book buying getting up at 6 am to kneel in a bird blind kind of thing.  Which is all well and good, variety being the spice of life and all that, because while [...]

Letters from the Management

Dear Former Ownwers of My Home:
My, what a remarkable commitment you made to planting deep rooted fast spreading vines! It’s stunning, really.  Also, thank you so much for leaving that striped section of hose for me to find! I do so enjoy a good snake related heart palpitation.  I also found that pen you may [...]
