Queen of Rambles

I need a Dustbuster. More specifically I need a “my toddler is a little asshole and thinks its hi-freakin’-larious to throw all his food off the side of his high chair tray and wander around with bits of cracker that he mushes into the floor” buster. Instead of giving the toddler away, I’d [...]

I love posting in the blog daily, but I am all rambled out. I don’t have time to sit around and day dream and come up with all sorts of weird and deep thoughts. Instead, I spend two hours trying to get Erik down for a nap when all he wants to do [...]

I’m well and truly detoxing this week and it sucks sucks sucks. I want chocolate. I NEED chocolate. Chocolate is calling my name. If I don’t get chocolate I might do something rash. If I see myself as some sort of superhero with special powers, but instead of being heroic and [...]

When it’s Monday and your husband has gone back to work and there is no one around to supervise an active toddler but yourself you shouldn’t take codeine. Or maybe it’s just me. With that in mind, I took way too many Advil to try to keep the tooth pain at bay and [...]

They are FINALLY releasing the second (and final) season of Joan of Arcadia on DVD!!! Amazon better not be lying to me or I’m going to get out my ice pick and stab them in the shins. I haven’t checked for the second season in a long time because I’m always disappointed, but [...]

I think I enjoy being a rabble rouser. I just read a gag-worthy article about the wonders of a Mary Kay career and had to send the author a note asking her to do a little more research. I can’t blame her for being suckered in after the director’s carefully crafted, knowingly deceitful [...]

Thing the First: I can’t believe there are actually a few days left until Mosaic Minds goes live and I’ve almost got everything I need to do done. No panicking for me this time! We could use a couple of more features and maybe another short story if anyone wanted to challenge [...]

There are so many comments I need to respond to and yet. . . well. . . I don’t. Bad, bad me. Mike was home sick from work today so I thought “a ha! I’ll run to the fabric store” but I didn’t realize that everyone and their mother and their dog and [...]

It was adventure time today! Living in the DC area has some major perks, mainly that various internet people come here for various reasons and I get to meet them. Today I got to meet mussare, who was in town for a big conference. I was a little nervous because I was [...]
