This weekend my Mom came up to spend Thanksgiving with us and, as we were talking about stuff (nobody can chew the fat like we can), I found myself saying over and over again “this blogger I read…” and then telling her a story I’d read on someone’s blog. I realized it about halfway through [...]
Tonight was spent out at a friend’s house for her husband’s birthday. We’re both tired and Will has homework so we only meant to stop in and say hi… to spend an hour there max because we didn’t want to be all “that’s nice that it’s your birthday but we have stuff to do!” Because [...]
So the family has gone home (and gotten there safely), the food has been eaten (though there are still quite a lot of leftovers in the fridge) and life is getting ready to get back to normal which, in my world, means a husband with a bazillion degree new car fever. I said it on [...]

How do you solve the need for lunch stuff when you’re low on funds and you know that your fridge is going to be packed to the gills with Thanksgiving leftovers in a few days? If you’re me and you’re going through a fried rice phase, you make a gigundo pan of veggie fried rice–a [...]
One of the things I love most about my job is how much of it I spend inside my own head–planning, tweaking, figuring out directions to take, that sort of thing. I love that I can do it while I lay on my couch in my pajamas watching Gilmore Girls on DVD (just finished season [...]
So earlier tonight I read something completely offensive on Facebook by somebody that is on my friends list and ohhhh man I wanted to go off on that person because seriously? Poor taste. Instead, I posted on my own status update “wonders where the damn dislike button is when you need it.”
