Perfect timing!

I had hoped I was just tired and that this was a hallucination. Sadly, no. No it wasn’t. Ever seen what happens when you try to quickly chill beers in the freezer and then forget about them? Now you have. The worst part? I’m the one who put them in and forgot them in there. […]

I wanted you to use clean clothes!

The directions: Get dressed please. Two great ways to tell if your child fished yesterday’s clothes out of his laundry hamper: Pizza sauce and chocolate on the shoulder of the shirt, from where he wiped his mouth at dinner last night. Shorts are on inside out, and are so dirty you can see the dirt […]

I’m completely rational, until I’m not.

It’s time for Markleeville! One of my favorite places on the planet, and the site of our annual camping trip. Lots of hullabaloo around here and things have been more hectic than usual. I’ll be a calm, relaxed person once I get there… it’s the getting there that can stress me out: Picture all of […]

And you shouldn’t leave dental floss where a 4 year old can find it.Perhaps he was fishing for sharks?

Remove the “ed” and add an “o” – that’ll be me really soon.

I just picked Mitchell up from soccer camp. He has been on vacation with his mother and we haven’t seen him for almost 2 weeks. He seems older and taller, and has come back to us with his New Trendy Word of the Moment: psyched. If I wanted to use this word in a sentence, […]

Rich and I had a date last night. We went to see Chris Isaak at the Orange County Fair. (He was awesome!) Vanessa Carlton opened for him. (She? Not so awesome.) We saw lots of the people and things you’d expect at a Fair… crying kids in strollers, large women in clothing that is waaaay […]

Camping: NOT a spontaneous activity.

July 14, 2008 Leave a Comment

We’re getting ready to go on our annual camping trip. We leave before the crack of dawn on Saturday the 19th and come back the evening of Thursday the 24th. It is a 10 hour drive each way. We camp in tents and pack in just about everything but water. It takes a wee bit […]

Chip grease! The better furniture polish!

You are almost 16 years old. You are taller than your mother. You don’t understand why your mom gets all screechy for no reason. You have just eaten your weight in tortilla chips. The preferred method for cleaning greasy hands is: a) thoroughly washing them with soap and water. b) making an attempt to wipe […]
