    Meat Maidens Gone Wild!!!

    June 15, 2009

    Yesterday was, as expected, a blast. But it was about 10,000 times better than I could have ever imagined. A mere blog post won’t even capture it properly; you truly had to be there. Momo did her own summary. The pictures would have spoken for themselves had it not been for the adorable RHYMING VERSE she used. She’s good. Really good. But I’ll try to give you a taste of it. First, the road trip to the Land of Momo. My van-mates? The lovely Weaselmomma: and the equally lovely Surprised Mom: Honestly, if you happen to be riding across the midwest (or where ever) in the middle seat of a…

    A Very Special Meating

    June 13, 2009

    Delightful graphic created by Big Bad DaddyTomorrow (Sunday) is going to be a very, very special day. A fun day. A crazy day. An exciting day. A musical day. A huggy day. A feel-good day. Curious yet? I am, along with Weaselmomma and Surprised Mom, heading across the Midwest and back, six hours each way (yes, in the same day). Rather than re-summarize what Weaselmomma has already written, I’m sending you over there to read it; click here and it’ll open in a new window. Go ahead. I’ll wait.

What it boils down to for me is that friendships have an ebb and a flow to them. Though you might have a few “Forever Friends”, people generally come into and go out of your life for a reason, sometimes for support, sometimes to be supported, sometimes to teach us something, and sometimes for reasons unknown to us.

    Ohhhh…I Thought I Was Posting in the SUBurban Dictionary.

    May 14, 2009

    Not to beat a dead horse, but wasn’t it exciting yesterday when Tom, Momo, and Weaselmomma and I totally blunked Nukedad AND I got the word “blunked” into the Urban Dictionary? Totally a banner day. Except for one of the 5,000 phone conversations I had with Weaselmomma, when she started laughing uncontrollably. (That’s actually not unusual for her: she laughs A LOT. Surprised? I didn’t think so.) I said, “What’s so funny?” She said, “Well, you know…the Urban Dictionary is full of street language and such, and here’s a middle-aged Jewish woman getting a word in there.” I said, “I AM NOT middle-aged!!!!!” (Jewish? yes.) And then I thought for…
