Queen of Rambles

I often don’t even post on Saturdays because I get side-tracked and I don’t think a lot of people are even around on the weekends, but tonight I’m going to wow you all with pictures of the cutest baby in the history of the world. Only he’s a toddler now and he is outgrowing his [...]

The Queen of Rambles rides again! I’ve been rambling in my brain while cooking dinner and now I have to get some of it written down. Hopefully the chicken (gillepsie) won’t burn while I ramble away. And hopefully the chicken won’t give us some horrible illness that kills us all dead while we pray to [...]

Not a single interesting thing happened today. Can you believe that? Usually a million tiny interesting things happen and I have plenty of fodder for the journal. Good thing I still have a couple of sets of interview questions to go! Btw, I think I have asked questions of everyone who wanted questions so if [...]

I’m spoiling for a fight–a fight against a big, burly guy with lots of muscles. If I had fewer inhibitions and didn’t automatically defer to people before thinking I could have had a big fight today. Now that I’ve had time to reflect on the situation, I can assure you there will be SOME sort [...]

You are now officially reading the journal of a professional writer! Ok, ok, so that’s a bit of a lofty statement but it is technically true. I’ve just been hired as a freelance test item writer. I may not be writing fun and exciting things for glamorous magazines, but I will be getting paid to [...]

So much for getting anything useful done today. I came downstairs from my shower and found Erik standing on the bed, screaming his head off. At least he didn’t take a header off the bed. He knows how to get down, so I think I’m happy he didn’t. He was supposed to sleep for at [...]

This whole mom business is full of situations that I’ve never had to think about before. Yesterday it was in the 70s (in January! I know!), so we did what any sane family would do and headed for the park. Ahhhhhh, the sweet, sweet fresh air! It’s the best sleeping aid I know for a [...]

Before I get started with tonight’s post, I should mention I forgot a couple of things in the big baby supply list. I will edit the list, but just wanted to mention that those head adjuster things for the carseats are pretty much a must have so the wee little newborn isn’t flip flopping all [...]

This list will only be interesting to a tiny fraction of my readers, but that tiny fraction will be obsessively interested thus I feel it is my duty as a know-it-all to post it. Yes, it’s a list of baby supplies. I have lots of pregnant readers and Kisha specifically asked people to help her [...]
