So, here we are. November 30th. 9:30 at night. I planned on making another video for you. It was going to maybe feature a bit of French horn. Perhaps piano. Most likely a bit of spoken word. (As opposed to the unspoken word that you’re mucking through right now.) I had such good intentions. Anyway, [...]

I’m just going to say this: Today has been fairly strange and exhausting. (Strange days tend to be exhausting, don’t you think?) I’m currently sitting here in red flannel pajamas just hoping that the next few hours will happily fly by (for everyone) so that I can wake up and welcome Sunday, which will include [...]

This afternoon I had lunch with a friend from college who is in town from Los Angeles. Because he hadn’t been to our house in several years, I had to give directions over the phone. Me: After making a left on This and That, you’ll see our house right where This and That meets Such [...]

This is the pumpkin cake my sister contributed to Thanksgiving dinner. Sadly, due to an oncoming tantrum, we had to leave the celebration before dessert was served. However, I will always have fond memories of this amazing cake. Even if I didn’t get to taste it. (The cake has a lot in common with George [...]

Okay. I know you’re all knee-deep in turkey guts and cranberry goo. I also know that you might not be too keen on pumpkin pie. SO, once again, I would like to share my father’s famous caramel pie recipe! (Mandajuice made it last year with chocolate chips, and she loved it. If that doesn’t kick [...]

These twinkling (and supposedly pouting) lips need to speak out! Especially in situations where insurance companies and police officers [...]

Last night I found myself sitting on a couch next to The Bloggess. We were guests on Oprah (obviously), and our mind-blowing creations were being celebrated. After a coin toss, Jenny revealed that she had invented a statue of Frida Kahlo that appears to be a normal twenty foot high stationary installment until someone in [...]

We’re kicking it off with a four-year-old girl shooting her mother, and I can hear vampires in the next theater. Clearly, I am lost. Alicia Keyes might be pretty and blah, blah, blah, but she certainly cannot act. Then again, I cannot act. Why do I insist on judging Alicia Keyes? I always judge the [...]

While working at the yarn store, I often find myself yelling, “Oh, fun!” whenever someone talks about the project she is working on. My Oh Funs are annoying, brainless, and as unpredictable as an explosive sneeze. Random knitter: And when I’m done with the scarf, I think I’ll use the leftover yarn for a hat. [...]

Two years ago today, we were getting our Christmas cards together. Today Meredith told Harper that you really shouldn’t share underpants with your kindergarten friends. Harper answered, “Yes. And if you pee in your underpants, it’s okay. You just have to clean it up. It is NOT a big deal.”
