Will the mad scientist who genetically engineered the ginormous toxic flesh eating beetle the crawled up my son’s ass this morning, please come back and reclaim his work. The poor kid needs a nap.

Some days you’re the dead mouse that’s been flopped back and forth until your eyes bulge out and your insides are jelly. Today was my second AP Saturday, and, for an extra bit of spice, I brought the little ones… Mate was tied up seeing a friend about a horse (yes, really–not that we’d actually… Read More

Okay okay okay… I know it was the “Thinking Bloggers” meme, but did you really need me to THINK? So. Not. Fair. I’m still terribly proud that bells named me (you should see her knitting by the way…So. Gorgeous.)but I don’t blog enough–I don’t read enough blogs, that is. The ones I do read, I… Read More

Okay, first of all, I’ve realized I don’t read enough blogs. This is a problem–I’ve maxed out my computer time as it is. The reason I realized this is that I was trying to think of my top five thinking blogs, and I realized that I wanted to nominate EVERY BLOGGER I KNOW. Because you’re… Read More

Okay…the picture is the Easter picture–the christening of the Arwen cardigan and the Cave Troll’s pritty-pritty socks…just to prove to everybody that they’re still cute and all… And other than that? bells tagged me for a Thinking Bloggers award…and I’m sort of embarrassed and stunned and (of course!) honored. The embarrassment comes from the fact… Read More

I’m running on zero sleep today, and I’m eyeball full of work angst, so I’m going to short throw the fun stuff and go outside and zone with the kinder. Fun thing the first: As we were driving home yesterday, we had to make a stop at the bank–the Cave Troll showed his genius by… Read More

I’m feeling much better now–thanks everyone for the good wishes. I think my “evil quotient” thing was funny–I’m pretty sure most days I’m 80% Lust and 60% Gluttony…and most likely to die while being fed bananas and grapes by Paolo the pool boy. Ah…wouldn’t we all… Okay, I am two buttons away from finishing the… Read More

Thanks, Rae, for my biggest laugh of the day: Your Deadly Sins Sloth: 60% Envy: 20% Greed: 20% Lust: 20% Pride: 20% Wrath: 20% Gluttony: 0% Chance You’ll Go to Hell: 23% You will die with your hand down your underwear, watching Star Trek. How Sinful Are You?

It sounds like all of you had a wonderful Pagan day–complete with more gifts than chocolate. Of course, in an effort to control the proliferation of little plastic crap around here, I went for small amounts of gifts and a rather large amount of chocolate. I’m such a Goddess-forsaken moron. I didn’t go back to… Read More

1. Get hair cut. (Get several cut–one won’t make much difference.) 2. Nag older children to clean living room, so that I might hide eggs at 2:00 am 3. Nag older children to clean kitchen, so that the cave troll might dye eggs to hide at 2:00 am. 4. Buy chocolate for the eggs that… Read More
