Links You Have to See to Believe

June 20, 2008

It’s true. There is a lot of weird stuff out there. I’d like to share it with you. Fractal Scene. I can’t remember if I found this via Twitter or Boing Boing. My kids giggled and giggled over this cool little optical illusion. Dog Drooling Slime found via Boing Boing. A Japanese game. The dog [...]

Pretty Fly for a White Guy, er, Housewife

June 16, 2008

The kids and I had to shop last week: shorts, tees, flip-flops, etc. Torture for the munchkins. You know how hard it is when the parental unit wants to clothe you. Evil. Pure evil. So I promised them that if they could simply be good and sport smiles for the entire shopping extravaganza–no matter how [...]

If you are male, I implore you to click away. Dad? Travis? Wayward uncle that has come for your annual page view? Please go. This is not the post for you. I will be discussing delicate areas you do not want to know about. You have been warned. For the past four years or so, [...]

Links You Have to See to Believe

June 6, 2008

Photos of chicken forming in an egg. This is so cool. I always thought the yolk was the unformed chicken. From these pictures, though, it looks like that may not be the case. I may actually be able to enjoy eggs at some point in my life. Ghost goblets. These would be so cool for [...]

The One Where I Realize I’m the Idiot

May 6, 2008

This morning I was watching cartoons with the kids and sorting the laundry. Because I’m busy like that. The kids had tuned in to Tom & Jerry. Tom was shooting at migrating ducks and hit the smallest one. The small duck fell from the sky and was disoriented. Jerry hurried to save the duck by [...]

No-Bake Cookies

April 18, 2008

Last night I was cravin’ somethin’ bad for me. Like a brownie. Or a jar of fudge. Neither of which I had the fixins for. (And yes, I totally wrote jar and not something wussie like spoonful because who am I kidding?) So I made 23 no-bake cookies (recipe via Allrecipes.com). I suppose I could [...]

More Slang For Ya

April 15, 2008

This post was originally published on June 17, 2008. A few years ago, when I was visiting my brother and his family, we were walking and talking as we tend to do (we are a family of mulit-taskers). All of a sudden, out of nowhere, my brother breaks out the cool slang and fits it [...]

What’s Your Management Style?

April 13, 2008

I am re-posting this entry from July 26, 2004. My husband returned from a business trip on Friday. Apparently the only thing on the plane worth reading was a Newsweek article about how more and more women are having affairs. The profile is that they are mid-thirties, been married around eight years and have kids. [...]

According to LiveScience, "Women seeking a lifelong mate might do well to choose the guy a notch below them in the looks category. New research reveals couples in which the wife is better looking than her husband are more positive and supportive than other match-ups." Which is why I married this guy: From Associated Press: [...]

Do You Know Who Said That?

April 10, 2008

Every person I know who majored in English in college loves quotes. There are other people who love quotes, I’m sure, but those of us who spent many an hour pouring over words and absorbing them into our very being. . .well, I think we are predisposed to seek out quotes and collect them.
