I was sick, exhausted and amazed. Bren was finally with us. Todd was completely down with a horrible respiratory bug and living on egg nog lattes from Starbucks in the hospital. (Yes, Starbucks is truly a part of our son’s birthday)
Brennan was long, cranky, and he had an opinion that was expressed loudly and at [...]

No reason for the title. I just like that word.
I’m tired. No. That’s not a surprise. But what the hell, I might as well note it for the record. Here’s something else: Philosophy has Egg Nog Shampoo, Bath Gel & Bubble Bath (it’s all one, in one container… not three separate items). It smells like [...]

I liked this one. Maybe fate can be cool after all…
WTH?

I got 100% on the first part of the project I submitted. I didn’t deserve it.
I’m beginning to wonder if I am WAY too critical of myself.
Or, alternatively, this program is even LESS academically rigorous than I had previously thought. It’s a toss up.

Watch it. Trust me.
I wish my writing was at this level. Hell, I wish that I’d stop finding excuses and write with this level of honesty.
I believe teachers have the ability to do amazing things for our children. My son’s teacher is a fantastic, awe-inspiring person who challenges her students, even as she respects their [...]

Great party – super kids – tired grownups.
I think that says it all.

Saturday morning with Queen

Todd’s playing various Queen songs on Youtube. Man. That was a damn fine band and Freddie Mercury was mind-bogglingly talented.
Pick a song by them and then do this… imagine years from now. That song will still be played. People will still be rocking out to it.
Isn’t that an amazing thing to consider?
And it is a [...]

Monday cannot come quickly enough. Odd to write that.
For the record? Today was my 6 months at my job. I made it half a year. It feels interminably longer than that. And, as I’ve noted before, no mention nor sign of discussion about salary review. It was hooey. I know that. Still, there is the [...]
good night

Heading to bed. Long drive (2 hours there and 2 hours back), but we were with family as we said celebrated Todd’s gramma’s life. The casket seemed too small to contain such a tall, vibrant woman. She was 97. I can’t imagine living that long… imagine all the things she saw in her years. It [...]
Sharpie permanent ink on HDTV

PCMagazine has this tip and let me tell you, we just had to put it to use.
If your child(ren) do something ridiculously stupid and draw on your HDTV with permanent marker, it will come off with dry erase marker. Crazy, but it works. And yes. I know first hand.
