yoga for macbooks
Recently, my poor old iPod has been showing distinctive signs of a funky memory loss, very akin to Alzheimer’s. The data was there but the iPod would forget it was and I could not get access to it until I connected it back to my computer and it would go, “Oh yeah!” which would last […]
February’s sickness brought to you by the letters b, a, r, and f
Yesterday I’m driving down 280 listening to a fellow on the radio gabble about James Madison when my cell phone rings at me. It’s the house. Steven had sent me an email earlier that day saying he wasn’t feeling too well so if the house was calling me he must be bad off. “Uh oh,” […]
any cop I see will get a free cup of coffee and doughnut of his or her choice
And now, a most excellent follow-up to this post from earlier last year. First point of order: I never made any sort of complaint to the homeowners’ association or whoever it is that we send our yearly check to. We are apparently not the only people who were irritated.

Soon after she entered into her seventh month Lydia experienced the whirlwind that is the Holiday season. She is always keen on […]
taco covered in presents
Just now are we really settling down from the holidays and I can sit on my bootie for a minute to share with the Internets Lydia’s Fun Christmas Day. Lydia had a special visitor at her daycare right before Christmas — the man himself, Santa Claus! Lydia was more than happy to sit down with […]
conversation with Lydia while changing her diaper
Me: “Okay, time for some Butt Paste.” (grabs big ass jar of paste) Lydia: (chews on distracting toy) Me: “We sure do still have a lot of this stuff. I think it’ll last us throughout you and any future children there may be. You know, your Aunt Cathy has two of these things. That’s a […]
