The best laid plans

I cannot be getting sick. Not with all there is to do. It’s obscene. It feels like the flu. And 15 people coming over day after tomorrow AND I haven’t gone shopping yet. It’s horrible. I was out today getting things for Fangsgiving, and started feeling horrid. And about 8 …

well

I had a nice long post and due to some freaking display issue with my laptop it kacked. I do not have it in me to rewrite it. I’ll try that tomorrow. For today I’ll leave a few droppings: 1. We did a fine job making huge piles of leaves …

kibbles and bits

I am completely random today, why? Well I think we can be fairly sure we didn’t make a baby this month. I am reserving full judgement (and that beer that’s eyeing me over there) until tomorrow, but I’m 90% right. *sigh* We do want another child. Yes, we are 95% …

The video that started it all

For me anyway. I remember staying up late and watching this. I was amazed–I’d never heard anything like this. In my small town you got southern fried rock, country, some horrid metal thing, folk or classical. I’m sure there were other things going on, but that’s all I heard in …

Spooky decor

The Bean is feeling sick today. Perhaps the big stay up late party (we let her have a late night every few months, this month she got two–Halloween and our friend’s birthday party –lots of her friends and screaming around) so I don’t have a lot of time –she needs …

Bean Mot re: farms

In the Bean’s preschool, when they were discussing Farms (it is F week in school) the teacher asked what happened on farms and where food came from. There were the predictable answers like chocolate milk from chocolate cows and the correct ones like you grow food on farms. Then the …

oh dear

I just realized I do politics like other people do sports. I’ve been watching different versions of the same press conferences and speeches. Flipping channels like a crazed hog fan. I’m all over the web reading various interpretations and predictions and staying up too late increasing the information overload. I …

Talk about sore losers

This from a reuters story on the elections: “But it also gets us to a point: Democrats have spent a lot of time complaining about what the president has done. This is an opportunity for them to kind of stand up,” Snow said. Way to extend that bipartisan handshake assholes. …
