Link to more photos We made our way through lots of rain to the museum. I took the long way because I’ve never taken the short cut from our house and didn’t want to risk getting lost in the rain without a good navigator. The museum was rather crowded even at 10:00 a.m. because schools…

Today we go to the art museum. Which is the exact opposite of Target–maybe. We may or may not go to the Dali exhibit. It would cost us an extra $40. I’ll ask the kids. They always make pretty good decisions about what they’d like to do. I have been the the actual Dali museum…

Chez Geeky Mom. Please tell me if this is too painful on the eyes. It’s easy to tone down. Please consider donating to my efforts in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the Cure

A successful trip to Target, especially since I didn’t break the bank. We stuck to necessities–laundry detergent, light bulbs, shoes for the kids, etc. We did indulge ourselves by purchasing The Incredibles on DVD. Though we certainly don’t *need* it, we probably will watch it many times, starting tonight. We’re planning a big family movie…

So I finally bought some music. I actually ended up not going with any of the suggestions. Somehow, I ended up on a search by clicking through recommendations based on everyone else’s recommendations. It was quite a journey. I ended up with Rufus Wainwright’s Wait Two. I almost bought a Lucinda Williams album and a…

So David tapped me for this pluse he called me cool. I’m sure I’ll never find 3 people who haven’t done it. You’re stuck inside Fahrenheit 451, which book do you want to be?I just order Fahrenheit 451, having never finished the thing eons ago. There’s a good reason. So which book? I’m assuming I…

Inspired by David, who’s always doing this and which I always find fun to read, some recent search activity that landed people at my blog: “smelling girls sneakers”“stressed out burned out mom”“vignette mom”“Martha Stewart ‘miss my pet’s’ name”“wearing jeans to work” Always interesting, no? Please consider donating to my efforts in the Susan G. Komen…

I’m taking vacation this week since the kids are and Mr. Geeky is in California for a conference. I’m planning to accomplish a lot anyway. Here’s today’s plans: -deal with finances–pay bills, take taxes to accountant (found $400 in savings and didn’t even charge me; go h&r block!), get cashier’s check for property taxes-finish laundry–Mr.…

Watching “This Week”: George asks Rummy what he’s going to do about the vacancy left by Paul Wolfowitz. He asked, “What kind of man are you looking for?” Rummy goes with it, “I’m not sure what type of man I’m looking for.” And people wonder why there aren’t women in the upper echelons of the…

This morning’s New York Times includes an editorial about the 2006 budget. Not surprisingly, it includes a number of tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans, the top .2% of wage earners. Interestingly, the Washington Post article on the same topic doesn’t really mention the tax cuts, but focuses on the cuts to spending, mostly to…
