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?

Christmas Wishes

Just because several family members have asked for, and not because I want you to buy me anything, here’s my Amazon Wishlist button:\ \ Enjoy, and MERRY SHOPMAS, EVERYBODY!\ (yes, i’ve been yelling more lately. it’s cathartic, and sometimes it’s even funny)

This and that

I’ve misplaced my iPod. I am bad enough at cleaning the house with it, I can’t imagine what I’ll be like now. Booo. I need my crutch! I am going to dig out our 80s-inspired iPod that is the size of my head and see if I can duct tape it to my body. That […]

How I Use Evernote

I mentioned on twitter the other day that I love Evernote and use it to keep my daily to-do list and keep track of what I work on. A couple people said I should write a blog post about it. Since I’m just waiting for my Tylenol PM to kick in, I figured… why not. […]

Hey, hey. Anyone interested in a fab townhouse, close to everything important?

Here is the link to our townhouse rental info. For the lookie-loos, and my mom, there are even lots of pictures (click on the virtual tour button)! Doesn’t it look awesome? I love the view of the trees too. After living in an apartment that overlooked a small stand of trees, I was worried that […]

On Morale

In my experience, the thing that has the most significant impact on a movie’s budget–but never shows up in a budget–is morale. [what’s true for a movie is true for a startup!] If you have low morale, for every \$1 you spend, you get about 25 cents of value. If you have high morale, for […]

Not so awesome Mommy

Fish #2 bit the dust. Sad.

One of these days I might have something highbrow to say.

Here is my decorating horoscope: Loves antiques, florals, greens and blues, comfort and luxury, romantic touches. \ Could this be any more wrong? Comfort doesn’t count because who wants to be uncomfortable? I have a lot of blue in my house because my husband likes it, but will admit to liking green.\ You can check […]

So Ends the Vacation, Not With a Bang, But Crushed Ice!

I took most of last week, and today off from work. Did we go anywhere? Nope. Did we do anything exciting? Not really. It was mostly to catch up on all the house stuff that got put on the back shelf while I’ve been either out of town or working ridiculous hours. Oh yeah, and […]

Long-ass life update

Brian has completely left babyhood and has entered toddlerville. He’s the big T-W-O now! He has tantrums, gets into all sorts of trouble, and tries to do please-let-me-have-my-way, puppy dog eyes. When it doesn’t work, he laughs sheepishly. So adorable. He watches Blues Clues, loves bubbles and drawing. He loves his blankets, but isn’t really […]
