I was amused to read this article about Ford’s development of an ultra-safe inflatable seat belt. When are car companies going to realize that providing more safety is only backfiring? Drivers feel too safe; too cocooned in their cars. People are feeling invincible. Ford has gotten it all wrong. If you want drivers to be […]
I needed to pick up some little bowls with lids so I stopped by the baby department at Target yesterday thinking I might find some. I haven’t been through there in a while. The baby bowls are right next to the sippy cups so I thought I might pick up a few, seeing as how […]
I had to take Jasper to the doctor yesterday. He was rubbing his ear all morning and moaning “ooouuuuch”. It turns out his right ear is so infected that it’s almost hemorraging. I don’t exactly know what that means, but I envision an explsion of goo and pus flying out of his ear like something […]
Helloooo? Anybody out there? Anybody still getting some extra pantry items? Well, you should be. And this week you should be getting flour. In less you have some sort of gluten-intolerance (in which case, SORRY! That sucks for you), flour/bread/cookies/cereal are a big part of your life, I’m guessing. Now imagine your life without these […]

I hate that saying because making pie is really complicated. Maybe that’s what the phrase is supposed to mean. That something is very complicated and time-consuming. I don’t really care much for pie; particularly fruit pies (why would someone want fruit in their dessert–unless it’s lemons?) But I do make a few great […]
I fell in love with a skirt that I saw on Dana’s blog (she is mightily creative and a fellow Austinite). It’s for a little girl, but I altered the pattern and made one for myself. I don’t know why I like sewing when most of the time it ends up frustrating me to no […]

My freshman year of college I lived in an apartment (because I was simply too cool to live in the dorms, if you must know) with four girls from Texas. They were from a little town in eastern Texas named Gilmer (not Gilmore!). They told me all about Homecoming and how the girls would wear […]
At our house we don’t give our kids an allowance. Many years ago we started to but it just got too expensive. Plus it would kill me when they’d spend our hard-earned money on a giant bucket of Red Vines. I’m not one of those moms who tells their kids how to spend their money; […]
Yesterday I finished painting India’s bedroom. It’s cute, but still too messy to take an “after” picture. The bathroom next to India’s room is the main floor bath, and I couldn’t help but notice how boring and ugly it is. The color on the walls is the same beige that is in a lot of […]

Today is my anniversary. Or rather, my anniversary with Mister. We have been married for twenty years. That is a really long time. Although I look fifteen I was actually 21. At the time I felt rather grown up but as I look back I realize what an absolute child I was and what business […]
