Why I can’t write, part XIII
Because I am too busy being a ONE WOMAN MISTAKE FACTORY! BOOYA. Take that, people who hate mistakes.
Hey look, I know some people think airheads have it so easy. Well, let me be the first to correct that assumption. We flakes, ditzes and space cadets may appear to be just floating through life without a […]
The family life list
I’m a neglectful blogger. I’m sorry. Facebook and Twitter and Tumblr are just so much easier. Plus blogging is not as satisfying to a pregnant nesting chick as ironing curtains or scrubbing grout. Again, sorry, Internet. Be some grout. Maybe you’ll get my attention.
Anyway, to appease you, here is a list of some things Iain […]
Less a train and more a constant loop
This is how my thoughts go these days:
Urf. Something smells awful. La la la. La la la. OMG WE’RE GOING TO HAVE A BABY! … La la la, la la la. La la. HOLY CRAP WHAT DID WE GET OURSELVES INTO? … La la la. Oh hey, Twizzler! <repeat>
Songs my kids like to randomly start singing
“All the Single Ladies,” Beyonce
“Cigarette,” The Clarks
“Question,” Old 97’s
“Lion’s Teeth,” The Mountain Goats
“Hello, Goodbye,” The Beatles
My green babies
Oh my God. I just wrote and deleted a weirdly detailed post about repotting my plants. Let me sum it up for you: As other people treat their dogs like children, I treat my plants like pets.
Like you didn’t know I was a weirdo.
Anyway, here they are, getting a sun bath. (WEIRDO.) If I start […]
Haircut report
Breathe again, my friends, for I am here to tell you all about my hair. I know you were worried.
I had an appointment today at the Fountain of Youth salon in Cranberry, which I chose solely because it’s Aveda-affiliated, and I have always had extremely reliable results from Aveda salons. However, finding this place was […]
It looks different, again!
Another new theme in play, for those of you clicking through. I have some little changes to make but Owen is hopping around on one foot waiting for his turn to play lego.com.
I’m a quitter
Day one. Going good so far.
(AND NO I AM NOT PREGNANT. I am doing it the hard way this time.)
GACK! CORRECTION! A tiny sewing tip from me to you
I like to trace my patterns on to wax FREEZER* paper. You know how you get the tissue pattern and it’s so neatly folded and you don’t know which size to cut? Or which view? Or if there’s a pattern printed in the back of one of your sewing books, or in a magazine, and […]
The gripping conclusion of our heroine’s tale
All right. I can’t leave that bit about the pants up there at the top of the page. Ugh.
Epilogue to the Sad Pants Story
I drove back to the mall, by myself. I reveled in the simple freedom of taking the escalator, unencumbered and light as a feather without two tots and a stroller. I smiled […]
