Amen. *blows dust off of keyboard* So, HI! Now that I can see again, I can update you on the gloriousness that is modern pharmaceuticals. On Day Two of AcidWatch 2006, I thought I might kill someone. I had plans. And a weapon picked out. And even an outfit. But then, like a miracle from [...]

I am truly an asshole. No, seriously. I have publicly violated (on the Innernet, no less!) cardinal rule #1 about an easy baby. I said I had an easy baby. Out loud. Which means I was promptly bitch-slapped by the karma-gods have spent the last week with an infant who is ravenously hungry, but can’t [...]

You know what happens when you actually have an infant that sleeps? YOU sleep. Yes! Who knew? Benjamite has suddenly developed a gas issue. I’m not sure why this surfaced in week FIVE, but it has. He’s a pretty easy-going baby, but he suddenly couldn’t stay asleep for more than 2 hours and wasn’t eating [...]

Well, SnakeWatch 2006 continues. But! Before we were completely freaked out by Snakes On The Porch, we had a very big couple of days around here. First, the Mighty Mighty Benjamite got blessed and his Hebrew name this weekend. It was a lovely ceremony filled with friends and family and Husband and I almost got [...]

It appears my house is under some kind of biblical siege. We are slowly working through every single plague. Last week? Fire. Today? SNAKES. Oh, and I heard locusts outside this morning. Yes, snakes.

Today is my birthday. I am that number up top now. You would know this if you were within a 2 foot radius of The Swimmy because all day long she’s told anyone within earshot that, “It’s my Mommy’s birthday today!” Which is very cute, except when you look like a truck hit you on [...]

…I shall set my oven aflame. Yep. Burnt like toast. Calls to 911. Firetrucks with sirens. Smoke and soot on a gazillion wood blinds. All I was doing was broiling some (what would have been) delicious chicken / spinach / feta sausages. Some of the grease popped and hit the oven’s heating element. Next thing [...]

All that’s missing is Tim, my current gay crush. But that’s a different post. So! I went to see my seamstress who is working on my fabulouso dress for OldestDaughter and TheBoy’s wedding. The project had been “on hold” for awhile due to this other project of mine. Hard to fit a dress with a [...]
