Queen of Rambles

I’m not dead and I don’t have a baby yet, but I do have a mommy. I’m really glad about the not dead part. I really don’t know anything about toxemia. I know protein in the urine is an indication, as is high blood pressure. That’s about the extent of my real knowledge. My non-real [...]

It’s interesting what I find when I look at my site statics for my Queen of Rambles domain. Someone wanted to know why earrings made their ears smelly (you’re allergic to them, most likely) and ended up at my site. I wanted to see how highly I ranked on that question (an impressive four) but [...]

This is just un-freakin-believable. I just got a call from my mom. Her flight? That’s been booked for months? Cancelled. It was cancelled a month ago and we were never notified. She showed up at the airport and found out, along with a few other people. She is going to go on a later flight, [...]

It’s four in the morning. Why am I up? Why? I was hungry, but that’s not a very good reason. Who gets hungry at four in the morning? I’ve never been the type to get up for a midnight snack. I like to sleep during the night. I don’t have time to get something to [...]

I’ve been tagged by Margalit to do this fun little meme, so here goes! 1. Go into your archive. 2. Find your 23rd post. 3. Find the fifth sentence (or closest to). 4. Post the text of the sentence in your blog along with these instructions. 5. Tag five other people to do the same. [...]

Only five days to go until the due date. I almost wish they wouldn’t even give a due date. It’s completely arbitrary as only 5% of babies are actually born on their due date, but I can’t help counting down. I am going to be a complete horror to be around if I go over [...]

At the ripe old age of 31, I’ve somehow managed to never, ever have a meal delivered to my home (other than pizza, but that doesn’t count). Until we moved to the DC area I don’t think I’ve ever lived in a location that provided delivery of cheap ethnic food. It never occurred to me [...]

I had a request for the Swedish Cinnamon Bun recipe that I use, so I put it up in my recipe section HERE I hope it makes sense. It probably helps if you have experience with baking bread.

I think Mike and I may have had our first fight ever today. I’m not really sure, though. We are pathetic, aren’t we? We had a little work related party to go to and Mike decided he was going to make Swedish cinnamon buns to take. Why would he want to bake something so complex? [...]

It’s October 1, and that means there are only two weeks left until the next Mosaic Minds deadline. As always we are looking for feature articles that reflect the theme. This month it’s Yes/No/Maybe which gives you plenty of scope for the imagination. Personally, I thought the very vague theme from last month worked extremely [...]
