Queen of Rambles

Did you like how I slipped that little cliffhanger in the post yesterday? Mwhahahaha! Bad, bad Carrie. It’s really hard to tell the story of my sister’s drama because it changes by the hour, if not by the minute. The last I heard the wedding was off, but there didn’t seem to be a real [...]

My aunt and uncle are sugar fiends. When we visited their house in October they served waffles with fudge sauce for breakfast every morning. They had cookies, cake and ice cream after every meal. They had a freezer full of candy bars, a drawer full of Little Debbie snack cakes, and bowls full of penny [...]

The Queen of Rambles is finally going to receive a crown. It’s not even going to be a plastic gimmicky pretend crown. It’s going to be real and official. . . and porcelain. So yeah. The crown. It’s not so much a pretty little tiara as a fake half-tooth. I’ve always wanted a crown but [...]

It’s been a wild day around here. Erik has been blowing giant snot bubbles all day, which just screams “cute” and I’ve been coughing up half a lung. I needed milk so decided to do a Target run even though it was sprinkling outside. I put on our rain jackets and away we went. By [...]

Resolution #1: I bought a pair of shoes for my sister’s wedding. I hate the thought of buying a pair of shoes off the Internet, but what else can I do? I decided that maybe, just maybe, I’d be able to squeeze my giant foot in a 12W even if it was too long. I [...]

My friend Ron is a Mormon and was always very concerned about the state of my soul. I was a holiness based Christian and very concerned about the state of his soul. We spent much of our youth trying to save each other from hell but we were both to stubborn. Through Ron I learned [...]

While heading off to pick Mike up from the train station I noticed a prostitute in our apartment complex. I’ve never seen a real, live prostitute as far as I know but this woman had every prostitute stereotype you could imagine. She had spiked heels up to there with a mini-skirt revealing all that. She [...]

If you’ve been following along you know that there is one virtue I am most assuredly lacking: patience. I get irritable if Erik cries more than three seconds a day. I want all cars to go the speed limit the second the light turns green. I want my stupid shaved section of hair* to grow [...]

I’ll try to be one of those non-rambling bloggers today–the kind who just posts pictures and leaves it at that. Nothing much happened today so that should be easy enough. It was a beautiful day so we took Erik to the park and took some pictures to prove that we could go jacketless on a [...]

Thank you guys for suggestions about Erik’s coughing/puking problem. I think Julie probably hit the nail on the head with post-nasal drip. We have a humidifier going, but there is a problem with the air quality in the bedroom. I don’t know what it is, but I wake up in middle of the night with [...]
