House Hunting
2007-12-11 16:45:00 What do you think of our new house? I kid. I kid. This isn’t our house. Actually, it’s someone else’s house but it’s for sale. How weird would it be to be surfing the internet and find a picture of your house on someone’s blog. Hi, house owners! I like your house! *** OK. Now that that is out of the way. Random note. I really hate writing “that that”. It looks stupid. But, I really can’t think of any other way to say that. Damn you, that! I’m better now. *** Our neighbors upstairs were a skoach quieter last night. I only heard them once or twice and it was before 9 pm. Everytime I see them, I want to ask when they’re moving out. They haven’t seemed any more unpleasant that normal. And even though my apartment manager said last week that she was giving them a 7 day notice, I have no idea if #1 she’s gonna do it and #2 when she did [or will do] it. *** I know I’ve bitched about ...

Called the Police
2007-12-10 12:45:00 I sincerely feel a little bit bad, but I called the cops on my neighbors this morning at 12:45. OK. So maybe not the cops; I called the “community officer”. But, he’s a cop who gets to live here for free since he deals with petty bullshit calls like mine. Luckily, he didn’t come knocking on my door since I had finally managed to drift off to sleep. Back to the neighbors. I woke up at 12:30 am for no good reason; I was just wide awake. I went in to check on Cara and then I heard the people upstairs; I guess they’re what woke me up. One minute they would be running through their apartment. [over my head] The next, they would be tearing ass out of the apartment, slamming the door on their way out and running down the stairs. Rinse and repeat. After 10 minutes of it, I was through. I called the “community officer” and told him that they sounded like a bunch of 300lb five year olds and asked if he could please come and knock their heads togeth... More About: The Police , Police
Betting Against the House
2007-12-09 17:13:00 This is one of those days were I make bets with myself as to what Cara will be doing next. Every time I go to the bathroom, or the kitchen, or hell, just leave her general vicinity, I think to myself “five bucks says she’s [insert outrageous thing here]”. Amazingly enough, almost every time thus far, I’ve ... More About: House , Tucker , The House
Lines and Other Great Things
2007-12-08 22:41:00 I am in a line kinda mood. Could you tell? First, it was my Twitter background and then I had to change this site’s background. Lines just seem nice today for some reason. Also, something about the previous background just wasn’t right. Know what I mean? I am completely aware that I am the only ... More About: Great , Things , Target
Bass and a Dead Guy
2007-12-07 20:32:00 Most mornings I wake to the sounds of Tucker in the shower. I grab the baby monitor, make sure Cara’s still asleep and I pray for ten more minutes before she too wakes up. I say most mornings because that sure as hell didn’t happen this morning. At 4:45 am, I was jolted out of a ... More About: Dead , Bass
Imus. Bad Behavior. Period.
2007-12-06 15:08:00 Wanna know what I’m listening to right now? Imus in the Morning!!! Sweet! *Rant* Just let me say right now, I don’t want to hear you bitching about me listening to Imus. I’ve listened to him for years. I watched the episode that he got fired for and I didn’t blink an eye because ... More About: Behavior , Period
Damn Plug-Ins!
2007-12-06 03:40:00 Ok. So, apparently my “malicious content” issue is actually a plug-in issue. I’m not sure if I’m going to fuck with it tonight or not, but, at least I can post on my own site now. I’ll explain tomorrow. I’m off to watch the rest of Private Practice. More About: Plug-ins , Plug , Damn

In Need of Some Serenity
2007-12-03 14:41:00 Today is going to be a good day. I’m just going to keep repeating that and keep my fingers crossed that it comes true. This weekend was a stressful one and it smelled like Worcestershire sauce.

For Your Enjoyment
2007-12-01 17:08:00 Oh, I am a lazy, lazy bum today. OK. So maybe not lazy. Tucker has to go to work at 3 pm today and we gotta go grocery shopping before he trudges off to the salt mine. Since we got places to go and things to do, might I direct you to Ironic Gamer? I have several wonderful, instightful ... More About: Enjoyment
Christmas for Sophie and Beck
2007-11-30 18:43:00 Man, I just can’t get away from Christmas this year! Is it me, or has Christmas started earlier than it did last year? With all of the music and Charley Brown Christmas on ABC like every night, [grr!] I’ve definitely started thinking about presents much earlier than normal. This year we have Cara to think about but something ... More About: Beck , Sophie

The League of Maternal Justice posted a breastfeeding montage on your site in response to Facebook banning a picture of a woman breastfeeding her child. It was a nice video. No ...

2007-11-26 16:02:00 The Christmas season is now officially upon us. Since we live about 16 hours away from our family, we receive all of our Christmas presents via the Post Office or UPS and FedEx.

2007-11-24 21:36:00 Last night was one of those nights when I wished that I could just snap my fingers and Cara would have a mouthful of teeth.

The Day After
2007-11-23 17:05:00 We’re not really the holiday kind of people. If left to our own devices, Thanksgiving would probably just be a day in which everything is closed and there isn’t anything good on TV. For some reason, Christmas is kind of the same. But, I have to say that we had a really good time at our friends’ house ...
