Indeed
2007-07-28 07:17:00 toothpastefordinner.com I don’t know, I just like it. Wenis! So the hair is a slightly qualified success. There are these strange poofy parts on the sides that are supposed to be layers but want to be bangs. But even with strange poofs it’s still better than what preceded it! So hooray! But now my throat is itchy. Tomorrow ...
Danger Will Robinson
2007-07-26 00:00:00 I am taking a mighty risk. In 30 minutes time I will be at a salon I’ve never been to, getting a perm. Perm, as in permanent people! Bon Bon shall be left with Daddy for two hours, which is a big first for him too. I shall be trying to relax but, who am I ... More About: Danger , Robin , Robinson , Robins
The Kids Hate Us
2007-07-24 20:40:00 Yesterday was our 8 year anniversary. Which means the Producer and I have been together for 12 1/2 years. Are we done yet? (Ha ha! Just kidding honey!) Actually, he bought me a loverly bouquet of roses. As you can see. I bought him a 6 pack of Sam Adams beer. Ah love. The kids were not so into ... More About: Kids , The Kids , Hate , The Kid

2007-07-22 07:22:00 Oy. Vey. Indeed. So, I’ve been…er…busy. Very very busy. I’ve got a new writing project going for a private client that is taking up most of my time after the heathens go to bed each night. It’s a good thing (great actually) but I haven’t had much time for this place, sadly. But back in the saddle ...
Fakin? Jamaican
2007-07-19 06:11:00 Remember that Saturday Night Live sketch from the 90’s (or was it 80’s?) about the Jamaica n family? Where they all had 30 jobs? And somebody would walk in talking about being tired, and they’d call the person a slacker because he only had 12 jobs? Yeah, that’s me. Only I don’t have quite that many jobs. ...

Paper Plates and Cloth Napkins
2007-07-18 01:14:00 I waver. I commit. I fail. I decide that goddammit, I’m hot, and if turning on the AC is going to raise the ocean levels, I’ll make sure the kids know how to swim. Then I send Queenie and the Producer to the store to return 201 empty cans. I recycle the toilet paper tubes, ... More About: Paper , Cloth

Freebie of the Day!
2007-07-16 16:50:00 Score one for being raised by a mom who knows the value of “found items!” She’d be proud of me today. Because look what I found just down the street, next to some old junk waiting for the garbage pickup: So, ok they don’t look like much now. But a coat of paint ... More About: The D
What kind of name is Peter, anyway?
2007-07-16 00:43:00 Queenie: “Dad, Spiderman doesn’t have spider balls…does he?” The Producer: “I don’t know honey, I haven’t seen that version of the movie.” Also, I’ve written two more articles, this time for a new site, called Constant Content. So if you want to buy an article about constipation, I’ve got you covered. Thought I’d share this site, which feeds the IKEA ... More About: Peter
The Blame Game
2007-07-14 00:19:00 I’m tired. Oh so tired. I didn’t sleep much last night. Because I was driving. And drinking coffee. And eating M&Ms. Eating M&Ms for 18 minutes straight is not good for you. Even if they are peanut M&Ms, and therefore a tasty source of protein, as well as all those lovely antioxidants, and therefore a perfectly nutritious ... More About: Game , Blame Game , Blame , Lame

And now back to our regular scheduled program
2007-07-05 16:50:00 So yesterday got off to a bang at about 2:30am. No, not over-eager fireworks enthusiasts. No, not stray suburban bullets from those scary Iowa toughs. No, we were treated to what I can only describe as a bed-shaking, ear-shattering, pants-wetting, chung-chun g-chung.
