I'm super bummed about breaking my ankle yesterday. In addition to it hurting like hell, I'm going to miss out on introducing my kids to the guy who bought the fibonnacci scarf! Have fun! And I'm betting you're sold out of paper dolls in an hour or less. :)

Just as I had given up...

I had finally accepted that it wasn't going to ever happen and decided I would just cancel my now six month old tile order and find another tile I could live with. So I called Lowe's. My tile is in transit from Dallas and should be here within a week. Continue reading

Consistency is not a virtue if you are consistently failing

Remember that tile I ordered for my fireplace during the first week of January 2012 that kept slipping the delivery date each month and was supposed to be in on April 20? It is a really pretty, 1"x1" glass tile. Beautifully glossy, they look like square flat jolly ranchers. As... Continue reading

Mommy got schooled

Tonight I was excitedly planning to teach my kids to follow Lego schematics and we would have geeky family fun while I stealthily taught them an important lesson for their adult lives as Ikea customers. No, not the Get A Cart At The Entrance Or You Can't Find One Until... Continue reading

Worth Reading: Legos, spaceships, breasts.

I recently read this great blog post by a mother about her 7 year old daughter's fantastic experience building a super cool space alien lego kit. It is absolutely worth reading, even if you aren't any of the following: Parent Daughter Someone who has a sister Engineer Geek Alien Astronaut... Continue reading

Pursuit of Happiness

PurposeFairy is back with another great post about happiness. I've blogged about a PurposeFairy post before - some very good stuff can be found there. The new post is 15 Powerful Things that Happy People Do Differently. If you are choosing to seek happiness and joy in your everyday life,... Continue reading

Redmond Farmers Market - unsolicited product endorsements

Between May and October, I walk to the Redmond Farmers Market each Saturday and spend the morning wandering about the vendor booths and then Redmond Town Center a bit (unless it is raining, in which case I'm a sissy and drive over, quickly get what I need, and get back... Continue reading

I Miss My Old Blog (or, Another Reason I Hate Facebook)

I was searching for an old knitting pattern on my blog and ended up with a search result page from 2007. I miss blogging like that. I was more interesting. Or at least more entertaining. I blame Facebook for my shift away from the blog. Well, that and the demise... Continue reading

letting the negative energy go

Dear lady who had a problem with my kindergarten son being in the women's bathroom: Trust me, I would send him to the men's room if I had someone to take him. Perhaps you think I could send him on his own, but maybe you noticed that he is still... Continue reading

I wish I'd written this myself

I really wish I'd written this myself. Not because I want you to think I'm so smart and witty but because I am fighting the urge to re-post the entire thing to be sure you don't just skip the click-through and actually read it. The Six Enemies of Greatness READ... Continue reading

An open love letter

Dear Dairy, We have had a good thing going for a long time. I love you and show my affection regularly. Not just the short lived, child-like crush on ice cream, but a long standing passion for cheeses, even the strong smelly ones. And the rewarding comfort of a glass... Continue reading

also, the strawberries were as delicious as if I'd picked them fresh. :P

Several steps forward, one step back [home improvement]

Thanks to the help of a friend who is a professional homebuilder, my fireplace is now ready for tile to be installed IF the stupid backordered tile ever actually comes in. I ordered it the first week of January. In February Lowes called to say it was backordered at the... Continue reading

this is (part of) why I'm odd

Random nerdy thoughts I've recently contemplated: What are the physical dimensions of one gallon of water and based on the measurements of my tub could I calculate how many gallons of water it holds? Also, has anyone tested if hamsters are the optimal rodent wheel energy generators? What about gerbils?... Continue reading

While I don't think I'd have been yanked into the pit (I'm relatively small but my kitchen trash bags aren't THAT heavy) I definitely could have gotten an arm/shoulder injury if the ring held fast to both bag and finger. So yes, a definite luck hat trick. :)

SPOILER: How to be happy

I wrote about the pursuit of happiness recently, but in the last 48 hours multiple "how to be happy" messages have been posted by friends on Facebook. And while each of them has some truth, they are all different. Because there is no simple solution. If things were easy, it... Continue reading

I could be happy without power door locks.

I just got back from a 5 day vacation in Arizona visiting my brother and his girlfriend (random vacation photos throughout). I was actually pleased they didn't take time off work, my goal was to be as low stress as possible. If they took time off work there would be... Continue reading

Holy crapanoli I'm lucky

**HUGE GASP** That is the sound I made when I threw a bag of trash into the pit at the dump about 15 minutes ago. Such a huge gasp, one of the guys working there asked if I was ok. See, as the bag flew out of my hand, the... Continue reading

You made me cry

If you read yesterday's blogpost and took action (whether that was donating or just spreading the word to others), THANK YOU. Not just for your contributions to the village rebuilding, but for demonstrating the good in people, and generously giving something to strangers with no expectation of ever getting anything...

how you can make a massive difference in people's lives TODAY with minimal effort on your part

I don't usually blog while at work (sorry boss!) but this is important. Recently there was a fire in a village in Uganda. Over 20 families lost EVERYTHING. Their homes AND businesses. Mothers, fathers, children, suddenly with nothing. What will they do? There is no UN Relief mission for a... Continue reading

Always Look On The Bright Side of Life

I have spent the better part of three weeks working on a blogpost. Clearly it is not going well. I’ve kind of been all over the place while writing, so bear with me as I work on what is now the fifth attempt at getting this out of my head... Continue reading

Responsible disclosure: it isn't just for computer security

Thanks to a coworker today I read about the application of disclosure policy to public health. Fascinating. And a little scary. I don't need to know how to mutate a virus to make it transmissable to mammals in order to protect myself. Biosecurity experts fear mutated forms of the virus... Continue reading

Doing My Homework, Because Learning the Hard Way is Dumb*

Tonight was a more productive night than usual after the kids went to bed. I worked out on the heavy bag for 40 minutes, found my original iPhone and 80GB Zune while looking for something else (which I haven't found yet, but I'm not giving up, it has to be... Continue reading

New ways to violate Facebook privacy

So you've done the right thing with your Facebook profile, locking down your privacy settings to just your friends and maybe using some lists to manage who has visibility to what, and you aren't using the leaky Friends Of Friends setting. Then you get a new friend request from someone... Continue reading
