Alright, alright, calm yourselves down. It’s finally happening, what absolutely nobody ever wanted you’ve all been clamoring for. That’s right, Weaselmomma and I are going to be live streaming a “talk show” (I put it in quotes because I am just not sure that we can call it that yet) this Friday.

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…

Now THIS Is A “Fear” I Can Definitely Conquer.

May 4, 2009

When I first started blogging, I read only my sister’s blog. Soon I started reading Kat’s blog (who, by the way, is flying home to Germany tomorrow from Phuket, Thailand after a 4-week vacation, and nobody in the blogosphere has missed her more than I!!!). And Katie’s (in Oz) blog. And Manic Mommy’s blog. And then more. And more. And more. If you’re one of my readers who is also active in the blogosphere, it is very likely that you know first hand how these things tend to domino. At first, I kept a simple blogroll in my margin. It was “great”; there were only about five or six blogs…

When Simple File Folders Can Cause A Parent To Freak Out A Little

April 30, 2009

Before the boys came along*, Jim and I had big plans for how our family was going to “be”. We would have a couple of kids, thoroughly enjoy the heck out of them until the day they turned eighteen, and then they were out. OUT. When they were little, they would ask for things that we were not going to give them. Just to name a few? *a television in their room*a cat*another dog*a Christmas tree We used to tell them, “When you grow up and get your own place, you can have *insert denied item here*. “When’s that?” “When you’re eighteen. Then you’re outta here!” “Okay.” On their birthdays…

London Bridge is Slowing Down

April 29, 2009

Yet another reason for me to want to go to London… Did you know that there is an event going on right now in London until May 4 called “Slow Down London”? It sounds heavenly to me. Here’s a summary of what it is from the official website: “Slow Down London is a new project to inspire Londoners to improve their lives by slowing down to do things well. Slow Down London will hold a campaign and festival (24 April – 4 May 09), offering ideas and opportunities to help us challenge the cult of speed and appreciate the world around us.” The “Cult of Speed”? Wow! I love that!…
