Mobile Apps for Summer Road Trips

Posted by on Jun 25, 2012 in infographic, Uncategorized | 1 comment

I really just needed to get that post off the front page and update this blog. I don’t have any road trips planned this summer but if I did I am sure I would find this infographic about mobile apps for summer travel really useful. *would someone shoot me now? This isn’t even a paid post! I just can’t think of anything interesting to write. No, I can, I just can’t seem to make the time to write it out. by hightable. Browse more data visualizations....

It's the End of the World As We Know It

Posted by on Jan 9, 2012 in infographic, Kids, WTF? | 4 comments

Ever since Apocalypse week on the History Channel over winter break (because I had to watch every show aired), my daughter has been obsessing over the end of the world. She is convinced it will end this year, December 21st, 2012, to be precise. I’ve tried to explain to her that nuts have been predicting the end of the world since I was her age (and in fact even longer) but she is still very worried about it. I probably made a mistake when I tried using logic to calm her mind about the end of the world. I explained that if the world did end it wouldn’t matter because we...

I Hate My Cat

She will do this every hour on the hour until 5am when she starts to get a little sleepy and then she wants to curl up at my feet like nothing happened. Bitch....

Expectation is the Root of all Heartache

  The great William Shakespeare said those very words a long time ago and today they ring oh so true. It all started out well enough. Last December, I don’t remember where, I mentioned that I really wanted a Chia Pet. I had never had one and while they are easy enough to get they seemed rather extravagant and silly for me to buy for myself. Chia Pets are gifts, they are not an item you purchase for yourself. I apparently lamented the fact that I don’t have any friends who are the right kind of friends because in my then 44 years no one had ever given me the coveted Chia Pet...

Questions That Are Too Stupid To Ask Google

Posted by on Feb 4, 2011 in Blogging, Huh | 15 comments

You know that old saying “There are no stupid questions only stupid answers/people”? Well I am here to tell you there are stupid questions, a lot of them. Presumably the are asked on Google by stupid people and inevitably they end up on my blog. Do redheads make good parents? I get why they are here, I’m a redhead and I write a lot about parenting, but really, WTF? Are redheads the product of incest? Just eww. Do redhead vaginas really have teeth? I have written about vaginas but never did I mention the teeth. What color should I paint my house? Red How old am I? This came...
