In Need Of Eye Candy

As long as I won’t be leaving my computer room any time soon, I determined this here blog is in dire need of more purty pictures. And what could be purtier than the little man? That boy has a newfound love for a hat I’d nearly forgotten about. I bought it for him before [...]

I’ve Had Better Days, Part Two

I should have known better than to post something about being halfway there. Will I never learn? My streak of shitty luck continues. First off, the husband and I arrived at the hospital a tad early this morning, but our doctor was an hour late (due to yesterday’s blizzard, and an inclination towards residing [...]

Mysterious Mysteries Of Strange Mystery

I’ve been laying low…resting on the futon couch in the computer room/lounge with the little man playing on the floor nearby. Three times now I’ve opened my eyes upon hearing the telltale sounds of my hodgepodge PC rebooting. The first time I thought “huh, weird”. The second time I started to worry. The third [...]

I’ve Had Better Days, Part One

Can I just say ouch? But at least we’re home now. (After six hours, mostly of waiting around. Over half of which was spent playing musical chairs while I was wearing a hospital gown.) And we’re halfway there. Tomorrow will be day two at the hospital, and hopefully the last of it. But why [...]

The Least Of My Worries

This week my mother-in-law and one of my sisters-in-law will be assisting with the little man while I’m at the hospital…and while I recuperate. They are both wonderful women, but a little more straightlaced than my family members. So I worry that the boy will bust out with some of his colorful language while [...]

His Age Was Given As “tall, With Brown Eyes.”

Random errata on a Monday morning. Reading Lemony Snicket: The Unauthorized Autobiography. Bizarre, abstruse (”a word which here means ‘cryptic’”), and truly entertaining. I’ll admit it…I compulsively check my usage logs for this site. But I often dread looking at the search string section, as folks somehow arrive here through some pretty sick stuff. [...]

Eat Drink Man Woman

Today has been a day of cleaning and comfort food. After I went to bed last night the husband tackled seemingly insurmountable stacks of dirty dishes (thank you sweetie). So the kitchen is in good shape, but the rest of the house could use some more work. I’ve made progress in spurts. My energy [...]

Thank You. Thank You Very Much.

So now it’s later. And as much as I adore Bruce Campbell, and think that his performance was top-notch…I cannot get over Ossie Davis. First off, I’m stunned that he agreed to appear in this oddball lower-budget flick to begin with…but also by how well he pulled off the most bizarre lines. He was [...]

Burn Hollywood Burn

Things that have managed to make me smile, part two: The little man persists in miscalling his maracas “Morocco”. Allison Woo’s weblog (and not just because she’s similarly LoTR-obsessed): “all i have to say, is that elvis stojko is one of my least favourite skaters. he’s just so.. not elegant. what makes it even [...]

Impending Distractions

So. As I mentioned I have some time to kill before I can receive medical attention…thanks to our jackass governor and right-wing legislators. But before all the bad news, this weekend was going to be a busy one. I’m a person who’d rather be out and about instead of dwelling on my problems, and [...]
