A while back I mentioned that my daughter had a loose tooth. Her first loose tooth. I was somewhat emotional about the idea that my baby was growing up. Getting her real teeth was just a reminder to me that they don't stay young forever and I needed to enjoy what little time I had with her while she was young (before she
Duh, I know. If you have been reading my blog for a while you have already figured this little factoid out but I wasn't convinced until today. Yesterday my daughter and her friend went outside with the idea that they would start the garden. I even bought my daughter some seeds at the hardware store when I picked up a filter for my furnace. I
Because they build sucky, ugly ass cars. Except for my first car, which was a Ford, I have driven nothing but Chevrolets. I like to buy American, but the automakers don't make it easy to support them. I spent the last several days researching vehicles online. I spent yesterday at a dealership test driving several cars. I hate car shopping. I drove the Aveo, the
I went to Ikea this weekend. I'm looking for a pull out couch or futon for my office upstairs. I need something small since the doorways are really tiny in my house. I've been to Ikea twice before this excursion. Once when I lived in Seattle and once when they opened one here across from the Mall of America. Both times I went just to
Make video montages at www.OneTrueMedia.com The Hussy Housewife has made this fabulous video of all, okay most, of the Humor Bloggers from Humor Bloggers dot com. I'm sure I can handle the celebrity just fine. When I starred, okay I didn't actually star, in a commercial for the United Way or some other equally important group while I was a Blue Bird, I didn't let
A couple of weeks ago my daughter had her birthday party for friends. Sadly most of them were sick and only two quests showed up. Don't feel too bad this was her third birthday celebration with cake and presents so it wasn't the let down it could have been. She invited two little girls whose moms are friends of mine. I went to high school
Why isn't there a book on middle aging? There is a book to explain to us where we come from, what happens during puberty, all sorts of books on when we start having sex, books about what to expect when we are expecting and books about what to expect before we die. Nothing in the middle. There is about 30 to 50 years of uncovered
Image via Wikipedia I have known for a while now that any new information I take in, bumps out old information. There is only so much space for useless knowledge and after the memory card is full the brain starts to delete stuff. I can still play Name That Tune with any pop song from 1978 to 1984. That knowledge is still locked in there
When I am not blogging or writing I am freelancing. I would much rather write all day but since these blogs of mine do not come close to paying the bills I am forced to actually work sometimes. I am using the term "freelance" broadly here. What I mean by freelance is that I will do any job you want me to within reason. I
Or I might be becoming a redneck. I'm not sure. I have (I hope) fixed everything that has gone wrong in my house in the last month. I have replaced the washing machine, dryer and dishwasher. Okay, I didn't replace them, I hired or begged big strong men to do it, but I made the calls. The problem I have now is that all my
