Raising the creep-factor at the happiest place on earth
ShareOur annual passes are about to expire, so I took the kids to Disneyland on Wednesday. Karis has long fantasized about going to the Bibbity Bobbity Boutique and getting all glittered up, so I thought I’d treat her to the experience as a last-hurrah/early birthday thing. Naturally they were booked up, so I had to … Continue reading
Keeping abreast of a titillating subject
Share (Pic taken from here.) The following post is not meant to be anti-feminist, or degrading to women in any way. It is written lightheartedly. I believe nothing is sacred in comedy. Even the most harrowing situation can one day be fodder for comedy once it is separated from you by time, growth and perspective. … Continue reading
Not so merry widows
ShareAaaaand I will never completely relax on my patio ever again. I had the bug guy come today because I’ve had a few fat, juicy, unwelcome visitors hanging out in my bedroom lately. So he comes over – Side note: He looks EXACTLY like an obscure t.v. character, and I wish I could remember who/what … Continue reading
S’more of me to love
ShareMe: Look, Husband! I bought S’more supplies for the kids! *Husband gives me a knowing look* Me: I saw a fun camping display at the grocery store, and I couldn’t resist. Also, by “for the kids” I mean I will probably eat a majority of this stuff after the kids are in bed and I’m … Continue reading
The sound of silence
Share (Pic from Disney) They say if you can’t say anything nice about someone, you shouldn’t say anything at all. They also say you shouldn’t speak ill of the dead. Keeping those two things in mind, I can only imagine the deafening silence that will reign during the eulogy for my dearly departed aunt. I … Continue reading
House Hunters, safari edition!
ShareThere are two types of people in this world, Internet. Those that think carpeting your entire house with wall to wall zebra print is a great idea; and everyone else. We have pretty much decided to stay in the OC another year, but I still get emails from the real estate sites I signed up … Continue reading
Low wife, high wife, midwife, my wife
Share 30 weeks with Karis Let me preface this post with the assurance that this blog isn’t about to turn into the Primamomma Pregnancy Extravaganza Blog, where it’s all pregnancy, all the time! We’re already into the second trimester, and you’ve heard nary a peep about it. (It’s hard for me to stomach those women … Continue reading
Oh, baby.
Share Well, I went bike riding in a wet bathing suit, so now I’m pregnant. That is how that happens, right? Or is that how you get a yeast infection? Well, I don’t have a yeast infection, but I do have a fetus in my uterus, so you do the math. Bike riding + a wet … Continue reading
Filibusted
Share Brecken likes to talk. A lot. He has reached that stage of development where his vocabulary has almost caught up with his imagination, and he still lacks all vestiges of a filter. Sometimes it’s awesome. Other times it’s incredibly trying, and I’m not proud, but many a time I will grumpily hush him. The … Continue reading
What’s the opposite of green?
ShareIs red the opposite of green? Magenta? I don’t know – different color wheels say different things… Let’s just agree for the sake of this post that the opposite of green is red. I have red thumbs. I love gardens and flowers and beautifully landscaped areas. Sadly, if I show too much interest in a … Continue reading
