Why I can’t write, part X

Too busy catching up on The Walking Dead.

Apparently you have to update these things

Hi! Today I:
1. Bought cow shit at Lowe’s like a sucker
2. Pruned a tree poorly
3. Pulled clods of dirt out of my baby’s mouth
Pretty typical doings.

Six.

To the boy who screamed into my world six years ago today and changed everything: Happy birthday, I love you, you’re amazing. To answer your questions:
1. Every minute of every day.
2. Because we didn’t realize your initials would spell “O.J.”
3. To Pluto and back a million hundred million hundred times … plus […]

First day of school, take 2

You may ask yourself, Did she really camp out at the bus stop 32 minutes early the next day, doggone determined her son would catch the bus with plenty of time to spare?
And you may answer yourself, Yes. Yes she did. In 90 degree heat, nine-point-five months pregnant, pouring sweat, reading the paper in a […]

Idle fellows, idle kids, idle days

This 2008 link made a swift recent tour of my facebook acquaintances recently: Idle parenting means happy children. The idle parents’ manifesto:

We reject the idea that parenting requires hard work
We pledge to leave our children alone
That should mean that they leave us alone, too
We reject the rampant consumerism that invades children from the moment […]

Luncheon on the lawn

Brudders. They walk alike, they talk alike, at times they even dismantle their PB+J in the same manner.
Oh hey Internet. What’s up? We’re just hanging out, being a family, ninja-chopping our way through this humidity. I’ll give you a brief update.
I am six months pregnant and constantly stopped by store security guards, who demand I […]

(O) L.L. Supa MB

Old ladies love Supa MB.
Is it my denture? My love of quilting? That I wear orthopedic shoes only half-ironically? That I know what a mangle is? That I enjoy wearing aprons and criticizing the youth of today? I don’t know what I got, but I know I got it.

With soundtrack by Monty Python

We’re having tea and banana bread and just pencilling some Batman comix of our own invention(s). I haven’t decided who the villain will be in my story; but I’ve just invented a character called Sad Nun who’s super easy to draw, so I’m pretty sure she’s going to figure in somewhere.
Hanging out with a five […]

This isn’t a leap year, is it?

I decided that, since I feel so writey these days (but seeing as nothing ends up actually written down), I’m going to do Nablopomo for February: a post a day for the month.
I can’t promise anything more riveting than TODAY I ATE SOME FROSTED FLAKES AND THEY WAS GOOD. But I will at least start […]

Can you hear me now?

So I think there was something wrong with my web site for a while there. Is it fixed now? You folk who haven’t seen anything new since November, is this all showing up? And if it is, will you do me a favor? Will you change my toddler’s stinky pants?

• who’s there?

  Oh hey you guys, it's me, Supa. Things I enjoy: talking on my bananaphone, being a nerd, writing, sewing, writing about sewing, giving my husband high-fives, playing Nintendo with my kids, playing with technological gadgetry, knitting, and reading decorating books. Did I write down nachos? Add that in there. Follow me on Twitter! I'm occasionally funny there.
