I’m not going to speak intelligently here and I’m not going to link to Kevin Drum, who I think brought this whole thing up because his traffic was getting low and he was going to slide down a level in the Ecosystem–not that he isn’t really a slimey mollusk anyway–but I wish these people would…

I think I’ll take a page from Jimbo‘s book and say that I’m in some kind of weird emotional state, a cross between manic and depressive, though I don’t think mine’s anything truly serious. I did not do much this weekend which should have left me feeling refreshed, but it did the exact opposite. I…

I took the day off work today since the kids were off for president’s day. We had a pretty lazy weekend. I wasn’t feeling 100%. It was like the flu without all the full-blown symptoms. So I felt crappy without any real reason to. It was odd. So there was a lot of sitting around,…

I’m doing a little tweaking, so some things might get out of whack. Let me know what you’re seeing and what browser you’re using if it’s totally screwed up. I’m just trying to shift some content around. Please consider donating to my efforts in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the Cure

Via AncarettI wasn’t going to post the results, but seeing how I have geeky in title . . . and this game below–QBasic Gorillas, I used to play it all the time.

I just posted this comment on Raising WEG. She has some really good posts on the Mommy Madness stuff with lots of good commentary. I admit I’m burned out on the Warner thing too. It’s a losing battle really because it’s all generalizations. I’m just gonna be a mom the best way I know how…

Not all boys, mind you and not all the time. Mostly boys bug me in organized sports situations. I confess that I hate going to Geeky Boy’s sports games because I hate dealing with all the macho postering. Yes, it’s true. At nine, they’re already taking this whole sports thing too seriously. Right now, Geeky…

Alliteration is great, isn’t it? I’ve been thinking a bit more about the mommy madness thing and reading a few posts here and there and of course, haven’t come to any grand conclusions. Something Purple Elephant raised was the class issue and I think that’s a big one. Elizabeth at Half-Changed World also raises the…

1. Grab the nearest book.2. Open the book to page 123.3. Find the fifth sentence.4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.5. Don’t search around and look for the “coolest” book you can find. Do what’s actually next to you. Here’s mine from Organizing Plain and Simple:“Or find a…

First, I’m cranky. For these reasons: Didn’t sleep well last night. Back-to-back meetings from 10-4. There’s something I need to do for a professor that I didn’t get to yesterday and I’m not sure if she needs it tomorrow or not and it’s something that’s going to take a while. Her e-mail was vague. I’m…
