Thankful Tuesdays: My Liver

December 13, 2011

13 Comments

Yes. I am thankful for my liver. My liver, and BEER. Last night we and a frouple who lives a few houses down from us finally managed to get our schedules aligned and made it out to dinner together (we’ve been attempting to make this happen for about 6 months now). Luckily, grandparents were available […]

Thankful Tuesdays: An open letter to Dr. Demento

December 6, 2011

6 Comments

Dear Dr. Demento, I do not know what you have your doctorate in. I do not know how you came to have your own radio show. I do not know how you managed to have so many cool friends who are so entertaining. And frankly, I don’t care. I’m just thankful you were around to […]

Floored, in a good way

December 1, 2011

I started blogging again a little over a month ago now. I happened to fall into wonderful bloggy and twitter friendships immediately. For me, this is a land-speed-record for friendship. See, I don’t actually *like* people. I know, I know, that’s hard for you to believe.  But that’s because you only know me online.  In […]

Thankful Tuesdays: Recipe and Recriminations

November 29, 2011

12 Comments

Ok, not really recriminations, I just dig alliteration, and I happen to like that word. “Retractions” perhaps? Yes, that would probably be the better word. Yesterday I accidentally fatfingered a twitter re-tweet. For those of you who don’t know, a “re-tweet” is when you quote another person’s tweet to your own followers, usually adding some […]

I’m beginning to despair

So, only two people have signed up so far for Twitter Literature 2011! I have this sinking suspicion that our final product is going to look something like this: Me: It was a dark and stormy night kitchen. TLanceB: A, B, and C stared in horror through the splattered windows at the approaching zombie horde, […]

Harnessing the power of this series of tubes

November 16, 2011

Last night I woke up to feed G and couldn’t go back to sleep for a little while. Why? Because I had a brilliant idea. Or perhaps a crazy idea. Or even a really bad idea. Probably an idea that someone else has had already, but I only just thought of it, so it’s my […]

A rock and a hard place

This makes twice today that I read someone else’s post and was inspired to write my own.  Only this one wasn’t pleasantly wacky and funny.  This one hurts.  And that’s why I’m writing it.  I hope some of you share this, it’s important for these things to be spoken of. First, go read Kate’s post […]

Now I lay me down to sleep…

Roaming through my Reader this morning I came upon All Fooked Up’s post about sleep medication.  It tickled my funny bone, and reminded me of a similar incident in my own life.  I started writing it out as a comment on her post, but then decided that everyone should hear it.  ‘Cause you know, it’s […]

Punting

OK, I’m ashamed to say that I have nothing to say today.  But, there’s the god of NaBloPoMo to appease, so here I am anyway. I’m just glad that appeasing the NaBloPoMo god doesn’t require sacrifice in a volcano, although at least that would give me something interesting to write about.  Then again, I’d be […]
