Queen of Rambles

I feel like I say the same things over and over and over. In fact, I’ve probably written that very sentence before. I want something to spice up this little bloggy endeavor, but Erik isn’t talking yet so I can’t tell you all the witty, wonderful things coming out of his mouth. […]

My lips are falling off. Why? I don’t know. Yesterday I noticed a weird feeling on the skin inside my upper lip and today there are two spots with no skin. Now I’m noticing that same weird feeling on my bottom lip. Do I have a slow version of Ebola? […]

I need a nanny. Or a babysitter. Or a mother who lives locally. Or even a lonely neighbor who loves kids. I need SOMEONE. Anyone. Anyone who is willing to take monkey-boy off my hands for an hour in the evening when Mike has to work late.
Thanks to a […]

It’s a good thing I am a patient woman.
When you pick yourself up off the floor and stop laughing, you can read on.
(Mike would say I didn’t explode today b/c I didn’t have any sugar in my system. I wonder if he is right. Surely a peanut butter cup could have helped.)
So I started […]

Whatever you do, never never never and I really do mean NEVER let the toddler play with the bag of freeze dried strawberries. You can’t even begin to imagine the mess that occurs when the toddler dumps them all on the floor then does his special stomping dance.

Two things that puzzle me:
I made fondue last night using the recipe my friend gave me. Oh. My. Gooooooodness. GOOD GOOD GOOD GOOD stuff.
Mike bought a chardonnay for the white whine portion of the recipe and I gave it a little try since I always want to like wine but never do. I usually […]

Image a big picture of me ripping my hair out. I just wasted an hour and a half of time that I’ll never get back. Remember that freelance job I had? I just totally misunderstood some directions and will have to re-do some of the most tedious work I’ve ever done. […]

For some reason LJ is not working in Opera at all. Won’t even open. It is perfectly ok in IE. Weird. I’m so used to using Opera that I am growling at IE even though I used to be a faithful user.
I am so tired I could probably just […]

I think my MisterE boy is going through something very mysterious. Or maybe he’s just teething. I’m not sure. I always think he’s teething, but he hasn’t grown a new tooth since October. At any rate, he has been chewing on bad things (pennies) and drooling and acting like he belongs on a celebrity […]

After all my complaining about Mike’s work, he finally got to come home early today. Mainly because he HAD to come home early b/c I already paid for a Dream Dinners session for tonight. I don’t work at Mike’s place of employ, but it seems absurd that all three guys in his position […]
