I realize that I will probably be struck by lightning for saying this, but I’m a little disappointed that Gustav did not end up being a category 5 hurricane. There is some part of me–some twisted, evil part–that loves mayhem. On a personal level I don’t want anyone’s home to be destroyed, or people to […]
I know those of you in other parts of the country are rolling your eyes, but can I please get a shred of sympathy? It’s 16 degrees right now! We have no gloves. We have no puffy coats. I can barely find two socks. There are just some things I expect from this climate: Sixty […]
Four days without writing in my blog! The longest I’ve ever gone, I do believe. Mister and I had a lovely weekend in Fredericksburg, Texas for his birthday. Fredericksburg, in case you’ve never been, is a quaint little town in the middle of nowhere (as is most every place in Texas). Most of the buildings […]
I went to the gas station today and regular was at What? When did this happen? I don’t really go anywhere and I haven’t filled up my tank for over two weeks. What a lovely surprise. I’m going to drive someplace far away to celebrate! UPDATE: Drove my kids to school today (Tuesday)–it was […]
Since today was our last day of summer vacation (not counting this weekend) we decided to take a field trip. I thought it would be nice to visit the Blue Bell Ice Cream factory. Blue Bell Ice Cream is a Texas insitution. It is completely revered and idolized. I’m not an ice-cream lover, so to […]
This is my review of the new movie Inception: me: [the entire first hour] I have no idea what is going on. me: [the second hour] OK, I kind of get what is going on. me: [the last half hour] Wait, I have no idea what is going on again. Also, Ellen Page must be […]

Have you heard of Remi Gaillard? He’s a hilarious Frenchman who dresses up and does practical jokes. Gather your kids around to watch this clip because you are all going to laugh yourselves silly when you watch him dressed up as a kangaroo. Yes, it sounds stupid. But I had tears pouring down my face […]

Hello my darlings, sorry to be so utterly neglectful but it’s been vacation time lately. I spent a few fun-filled days in Utah visiting my sister and her not-so-new baby. So ashamed that she was born in May and I’m just barely meeting her for the first time. That’s what happens when you live a […]
The babies have swimming lessons at the public pool for the next couple of weeks. Their lesson overlaps with the opening of the pool at 10 am. Today I was surprised to notice the large number of people standing at the gate waiting for the pool to open. Moms with little kids! Who does bathing […]
Just a little note to tell you that I am officially worn out. This is the last week before school starts and I am running on fumes. Thus, I probably won’t be blogging much. I probably will once school is up and running and I have my life purring along. It’s funny how much I […]
Tiffany (whose sunroom I’m very jealous of) had this great thing on her blog a while ago and it has intrigued me to no end. It’s called formspring and the whole point of it is to ask people questions anonymously! How thrilling! So if there’s anything you’ve ever wanted to ask me, now is your […]
