grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…..
I seem to have misplaced my CF card reader somewhere between here and Kempner (it’s probably up there, as I’ve searched this entire house and it is not in this house), so DSLR Christmas pictures are going to be quite late. I’ll run to the store tonight to buy a new reader [...]
I officially hate going to the dentist. Tooth #15 cracked in half. Turns out the whole thing is decayed and I get a root canal next week. I also get to live with a cracked molar for a little longer. I see a specialist on Tuesday to have the root canal consultation and then have [...]
David and I have been discussing the Food, Inc. documentary a lot recently. Hand in hand with Supersize Me, it’s changing the way we want to feed our boys and ourselves. I mean, you probably already know that nearly all of the meat sold in the supersized grocery stores is raised in Concentrated [...]
weeeeeellllll…. I’m a little disappointed in the company from whom I bought the flash portfolio site. You see, I haven’t heard from the company yet and they state, very clearly and multiple times:
All orders placed before 2:30 PM * Monday through Friday will be delivered by 11:59 pm MST or the following morning.
I [...]
I’m hesitant to blog this but I’m putting it up here “for the record” so to speak.
On my way to my 6 week appointment at AABC with the little guys after Korben was born, (I remember exactly where, too — 183 headed South under the I-45 Tollway bridge), I noticed a gritty crunch on [...]
I recently learned about Leander joining the bandwagon with the Stage II Restrictions on water usage. I jumped over to their web page and read the whole thing, nervously, because I had watered on Sunday. Turns out Sunday is NOT our day to water (oops). I had to laugh at what they’re calling a [...]
Disregard if you want.
Some days this mothering bit kicks my butt. I’ve been having a rockin’ awesome week so far and its still been amazing but today is throwing me some curve balls that I did not anticipate having. Like not showering in the morning first thing. Like James getting out of bed and [...]
Because a stray, or not a stray but one of the neighbors’ cats who is basically wild, got into our garage and decided to spray something with it’s piss. There are several things wrong with this. First off, I’m very sensitive to odors, because I’m pregnant. Secondly, because I’m pregnant, I am not supposed to [...]
You would whine too if it happened to you… Well, maybe not.
As a disclaimer, I am not writing this for the Barnes family who read this blog as an update into the house buying process. I am writing this to vent. I am venting because if I don’t, I think my head will explode.

I just bought a shuffle. A (RED) one. For $80. Now they’re nearly half-price now, or slightly lower with twice the memory.
Go. Stinking. Figure.
I seem to be having issues with our invited party guests understanding the meaning of RSVP. This is quickly becoming a pet peeve of mine (the link in this sentence shows I am not alone). This makes me not want to host another birthday party as long as I live. This is just [...]
My wonderful 13-hour-plus a night sleeper is gone, overnight. He never went to sleep at 8 pm last night until after 1 am. It was so unusual that I did go in twice (at 10:30 and 12:30) to see what all the crying was about. While awake, like, today, during the day, he seems to [...]
