A New Bitch at my House

AKA Oops! I posted again! I’m thinking I might be able to handle posting once a week.  Maybe.  But, I’m not making any promises.  I swear I sound like I’m at a Shopaholics Anon meeting and am trying to convince my group that while I did in fact get the 25% off coupon at Coach [...]

20th Century Technology for Dummies, Alex

*No promises.  I’m still taking a break, but I felt like posting.  Sue me.  Also, this story involves mild political humor.  I have sworn I’d never post politics, and this really says zilch about my stance on anything.  If we can all agree that there are idiots in both parties, you can read ahead.  If [...]

Vocations and Aspirations

While we were home last week, Nana (my mother) asked Knute what Puppy does for a living:
“Knute, what does Daddy do?”
The response:
“He makes things.  He builds things.”
Well, the Rocket Scientist does sorta build things that go boom!, okay.  We’ll give him that.
Nana asked Knute what Holly does for a living:
“Knute, what does Mommy do?”
The [...]

PSF: Chocolate, Bubbles & Transference

Hosted by Cecily and MamaGeek
I was feeling a little less than perfect this afternoon.  Knute seemed very content to amuse himself by painting sixty pictures at the kitchen table, so I made myself a cuppa, poured some luxurious bubble bath into the tub and started the tap running.  I went to the bookshelf, pulled out [...]

Better Off Dead?

Do you ever feel like your life is a remake of a cult classic movie?  I believe I could change my name to Molly and John Hughes himself might show up at my door.  Of course, I always picture myself as the Duckie character - the one on the periphery.  Be that as it may, [...]

Echo Foxtrot Foxtrot India Tango! I’m posting!

The natives are restless around here.  If you drive by my kitchen window you are liable to find me with my face & hands pressed against the glass begging to be released from my cage.  3+ weeks of togetherness has seen me pull hair out from the roots (and these were recently colored ones, too, [...]

El Burrito Sabanero

With multiple degrees between us, it only took the rocket scientist and I about three hours to figure out how to make the Flip work.  That’s pretty sad, isn’t it?  You asked for Knute LIVE!, so Knute LIVE! you will have.
He is the one first in line at the beginning.  You will hear him say, [...]

The Bigger The Better The Tighter the Sweater

Thanksgiving Day at Puppy’s parents’ house turned out to be rather unexciting, barring one teensy altercation.   Considering I have said all of about ten sentences to Puppy’s dad since he first took an instant loathing to me, I just had to share some great news with him.  Like the wonderful daughter-in-law I am, I made [...]

HOLY Hell-o: Same Song, 2nd Verse

Once upon a time last spring, the Anglophiles headed home to the metropolis known as H-town and my father shared information so disturbing I momentarily pondered using a spoon to scoop my eyes out of my ocular cavities and having Puppy pour hydrochloric acid in them.  It was that disturbing.  Wanna refresher?  HERE.  Go ahead.  [...]

A Pirate’s Life for He

Here are gratuitous Halloween shots of my Knute.

I was just glad he said, “Trick or Treat.”

The hat & feather MADE his Captain Hook.

Do I like this kind of candy?  Why yes!  I do!
