Ugh

Quickie Update

Kevin is off for SXSWi. Every year he claims it’s a work thing and every year I swear it is “Geek Spring Break.” I have planned lots of projects around the house and fun activities to do while he is gone. Instead though, I think I will hit the store for some bonbons and lie […]

The Amazing Mr. Chipman

The Amazing Mr. Chipman strikes again. First, it was his great sculptures (OK, before that, it was all his javascript toys). Now, he’s gone and turned Cindy’s frightening portrait of me into an almost more frightening drawing. You can see the whole thing progress, which is even cooler than the final product.\ I have amazing […]

Weekend Wrap Up

Having a side-by-side blog with Kevin is really entertaining and snags me lots of readers. But it is also really embarrassing when Kevin posts about making things better and I’m all, “TV shiny; poop stinky!” But, eh, it’s my life. And with that in mind…\ The orange Cadbury cream eggs are so yummy! You must […]

Move over, Martha!

Now that I have the living room and dining room redecorated satisfactorily (I should post pictures, huh?), I think it is time to move onto the master bedroom. It’s been 7 and 1/2 years. We still don’t have any pictures or art hanging up there and we are still using temporary curtains. So, yea, it’s […]

Pooo!

I just realized that Kevin probably took Brian’s car seat on purpose so I couldn’t crash his work dinner and make him buy me expensive fish and a fancy dessert!\ He’s going to be near Harris Teeter, which has a nice selection of hard-to-find caffeine free sodas. Think I can get him to stop in? […]

Out of the mouths of babes

Happy Weekend

I didn’t know Kevin was in a funk. Did you?\ Kevin’s recap of this weekend fails to mention me, which is totally fine. But I wasn’t off eating bonbons and watching The OC reruns while Kevin was being ‘Father of the Year’. Oh no. Saturday I spent the time alone cleaning the house and Sunday […]

Me and the Boys

This has been a great weekend. I think I’ve broken out of my funk and am ready to get cranking on all the stuff that needs to get done before SxSW.\ Yesterday, I took the boys to the new Air and Space Museum, and this morning, because it was snowing, we went sledding.\ Before sledding, […]

Life Update

Kevin is now a Systems Architect. YAY! Max got the second lead in the first grade musical. YAY! He is a great white shark who helps a little fish learn that ‘special’ friends (like a seven-legged octopus) are just as great as non-special friends. The teacher forgot to include a whole page of dialog! Max […]
