Queen of Rambles

I guess I forgot to include a major part of the staple story last night. A guy having a staple in his head is just par for the course around here so it never occurred to me that you wouldn’t know my brother-in-law’s eldest son and his cronies beat the shit out of him, leaving [...]

Several months ago I bought three Sesame Street Adventure customized photo books on the clearance rack at Target. Basically, that means I bought the codes, then could go to Shutterfly and make the books any time I wanted. I immediately looked through my pictures and found a great one of my niece. Her book has [...]

I’m still alive and kicking, but don’t have much internet time. Really, I could have as much internet time as I want, but when it’s 90 degrees out, being stuck in a hot room is the last thing I want. We basically live out in the shade on the back deck. I did mention we [...]

I’m going to be bald by the end of the night. Much hair pulling is happening right now. ARGH!!! Mike was home at 5, ate dinner, put the sheets on the bed (Erik went and laid on my bed and PEED on it this morning. Totally on purpose), took a shower, and was back to [...]

Mike got a little surprise this morning when he staggered in the door at 6:15 am. Erik was sitting happily on the couch, so engrossed in TV that he didn’t even notice his daddy was home. I was fast asleep in my room. Luckily, Mike took the situation in hand. He fed the boy some [...]

My husband is a very confused man. He thinks that just because he has to go to work at 2 this morning, he gets to go to bed at 8. He thinks I am joking when I command him to go buy me chocolate ice cream. He doesn’t realize that I NEED ice cream, but [...]

First up, the promised picture of the oh-so-glamorous potty seat insert tote. Isn’t it grand? I need to trim the handle down to size, but for today I just made a knot in it and that worked fine. I didn’t intend for it to have that big red stripe down the middle, but when I [...]

I just used all my free evening time to sew myself the most glamorous item ever. You are all going to be so jealous when I post pictures tomorrow! You’ll be clamouring for one! Too bad I didn’t make a pattern, because I could make a mint! Curiosity peaked? Just a little? I made a [...]

Happy Day After Fireworks! Or, you know, just another ordinary day at the Indian buffet. We didn’t actually celebrate with fireworks yesterday, mainly because we have a toddler who goes to bed before the sun sets. No way were we dragging him out in the middle of the night to a fireworks display, which would [...]

I was just re-reading last night’s post and decided I should rename myself the Staccato Queen. Did I think I was sending a telegraph? Did I forget that proper sentences need a subject and a verb? Did I forget that using conjunctions to begin a sentence is only ok if you are trying to make [...]
