  • A brief housekeeping note plus some frippery

    Thanks to some “brilliant” work by some folks who will not be named, if you tried to email me over the past few days I probably didn’t get your message. It was also really awesome that this site was down for almost 36 hours. Let’s see, anything else? Oh yeah, some paying customers of mine…

  • Charities that matter to me

    Mama Blogga tagged me for the Charity Meme. The rules are simple, copy the list of charities and links (grab it from whomever tags you) and add your 5 favorite charities or non-profit organizations to the end (link to their sites with anchor text of the causes they champion). Of course finish things off by…

  • Giving "thinking" a new meaning since 1967

    White Trash Mom and Tacky Princess have honored me with a Thinking Blogger’s Award. However, as someone who still cannot figure out the proper use of a comma, I have to respectfully disagree :) But thank you ladies for the award, and I send you trashy blow-kisses across the ether! Feel free to check out…

  • Why do I do it? The reasons they are many, but I am only authorized to tell you the first five…

    I blog for many reasons. I don’t have to apologize, appease or placate anyone. Every single bit of my blog is the way it is because I want it to be that way, and I love having one place where I am in 100% complete control. Before I had a blog I was always coming…

  • Check it, I have proof of the existence of brain activity in my own brain.

    In a sign of the impending apocalypse, Crunchy Carpets has bestowed upon me a Thinking Blogger award. (Dude, I know!) In the literal sense, yes “I Think.” I mean I must, right? There’s got to be at least some kind of brain activity involved in my daily activities somewhere. Aha — wikipedia tells me that…

  • A peek into my innermost, darkest, deepest soul. (Hint: It gets Jiggy in there.)

    I rarely get asked to participate in memes, and it is just as well since I really cannot handle the pressure. There’s a music one going around right now, and Janet and Soccer Dad nicely tagged me with it. (And yes, Janet, I know it was a long time ago!) Here’s the problem I’ve been…

  • Hey you, "Book Meme" — get OUTTA my 'drafts'!!

    100 million years ago Peggy, as she is tagged me on a book meme, so here we go… 1. One book that changed your life. Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions by Edwin A. Abbott In high school this book basically took my brain apart and put it back together again. It is written from…

  • I let my kids drink all the juice they want!

    The American Academy of Pediatrics says that “kids today” drink too much juice. It fills them up with empty calories and then they’re not hungry for real food. But at our house the kids can drink as much juice as they want and everyone is happy! Well, not juice, but “juice” — and here’s how.…

  • Infertility Tips that worked for me

    It took Mr. Plain and me almost 5 years to get pregnant with our first biological child. In that time we did it all — medically speaking, you have such dirty minds! — and here are some notes I made that I’ve been keeping in a file called ‘whatIknow’. Yes, highly creative name. If you’re…

  • How to (eye) Patch a Grabby Toddler

    My 18 month old needs to wear an eye patch for 30 minutes a day. He’s been doing this since he was a couple of days old, and when he turned 1 he discovered that it was really easy to remove the patch. He also decided that the patches were delicious! So then followed a…
