Another mom asked me out for coffee and I felt scandalized.\ This has been a rough week for us and I irrationally want Kevin to be here, suffering too. And/or I want some sort of reward. I am shallow that way.\ Brian has toy show-and-tell at school on Fridays. Today he chose to take an […]

Friday Five
Kids!
Max’s school requires a uniform, but every couple of months they allow the kids to dress in t-shirts if they bring \$1 for a local charity. I think this is a neat idea and so far the school has raised \$1400, but Max has never been able to participate. These casual days have themes and […]
Musings
A Hershey kiss tastes so much better than a mini Hershey bar. Kevin works too much. How do I know? I have been the one to haul the garbage cans to the curb and back. Tomorrow is my 11th wedding anniversary! I still can’t believe that 1) Arizona made it to the conference championship and […]
Going to raspberry the world
Months ago, Kevin and I decided to stop attending the LDS Church over their support of anti-gay rights legislation. This probably doesn’t come as a shock to most of you, but it actually is a really big deal.\ We talked to the kids about this and they understand as best as they can. We are […]

Brian is lucky that Gypsies no longer come door-to-door looking for bratty children.

Ever since Wil Wheaton (yes, that Wil Wheaton) blogged about being a fan of Ficlets, a site that Kevin helped create, I have been harboring a secret fantasy that someday Kevin and I would be at some geeky, computer conference-thingie and we’d run into Wil Wheaton, who would be all, “Kevin, my good man! Glad […]
This just in!
The house we are renting as a column in the front. A COLUMN! I think that is a sign that we should buy it. What do you think, Mom?
Quirk # 82
After telling Kevin that I really enjoyed the first season of HBO’s True Blood but that I doubt I will watch it next season, he exclaimed, “You always do that! It’s like you have one-night stands with tv shows.” Ha! It’s totally true, I do. After the first seasons of Big Love, Pushing Daisies, Chuck, […]
