The one with the new wheel.
I think I'm in some kind of "simplify your life" zone because in the past few months, I've sold off unused/unwanted things, gone back to a basic cell phone, and just generally de-cluttered our lives. My latest move was to... Continue reading

The one where I think my favorite color is purply-pink.
I can't imagine what brought me to that conclusion. Continue reading

The one where beer is a drug...and caffeine...and eczema cream....and god help you if you have allergies...
Over the course of the Kindergarten Year From Hell™, Seamus did a unit on drugs and alcohol. Every day during this unit, he came home with something new and now my every move is being judged my a 5-year-old. I... Continue reading

I will never make another one of those rabbits. EVER. The only reason I forced myself to finish it was because I couldn't just send my niece clothes for her birthday and I had no clue what toy to buy a 1yo.

The one with the finished projects.
My hand has been feeling much better and I've been going gangbusters on my knitting projects. It's really nice to be able to knit again. This is a dress I made for my niece's birthday. I love the way this... Continue reading

The one where I become bored to death.
I would hazard a guess that I use my hands a lot more than the average bear. I knit, I spin, I draw, I game, and, on top of all that, I know sign language (although, I don't use that... Continue reading

I loved it so much it *almost* made me stay!

I tried reading this one and the one my husband is named after. I cannot do it. Even in the case of the book my husband is named after, I found myself arguing with the book. At least if I pick it back up, I can feel better knowing she will eventually stop being such a damn brat. Give your coworker my thanks! At least in the webcomic, the character my son is named after was a pre-med student and later on in a webcomic by the same author became a doctor...and he was really nice. I'll take that.

No, he doesn't respect my property, so I don't let him in the house. As for sitting outside with them, I'm usually the only parent here and that's not happening.

The one where I punish myself by punishing you.
What is it about forbidden fruit? Seamus has a kid in the neighborhood he likes to play with, let's call him Almond. When they first started playing together, I din't mind Seamus and Almond playing together. It was a nice... Continue reading

I am so very glad it's not just me!

On Ravelry I named it "Penicillin". I cannot hear Clapotis without thinking "STD".

The one with the pretty knitting stuff.
As with all things, I have my preferences with knitting tools. I believe that beautiful tools yield beautiful results. I buy pretty (quality) yarn, I buy nice needles, I have a nice knitting bag, and I buy nice sttch markers.... Continue reading

The one where we look at packaging
Yesterday, I ordered two things: A pair of shoes from Zappos... I LIKE: W801 Komen by New Balance Classics and a refurbished Flip camcorder from Tiger Direct. I ordered the shoes because, well, I like shoes, and I had just... Continue reading

The one where we spend hours to make somethng that we hate.
I wanted to make myself a loose cardigan. Something that would work for spring- especially here in Maryland (for the record, it's May 5th and currently 61 degrees at lunchtime). So, I set out to make the Madelinetosh Creature Comforts... Continue reading

The one where we need to find simpler ways to do things.
This is how we get on the patio. Please note the gate to the left of the photo. It works fine. Continue reading

The one where we deliver empty promises. Again.
In January, Michelle Obama was on Oprah and talked about military families and how brave we are and that she wanted to help us (no, seriously). This is a far cry from when she was on the campaign trail with... Continue reading

The one where I call you names...romantic, bodice-ripping names.
I have a whole family full of odd names. None of our names are entirely unheard of, they're just not very popular. Mikhail, Shanna, Seamus. However, they all came out of reading material. Read on to find out where. Mike... Continue reading

The one where you have no clue what to do with your kid.
My child is not a sports kid. We've tried a few different group sports now and as much as he proclaims to want to do it, he fizzles out after a few weeks. When he played soccer, it was fine,... Continue reading

Thank you for writing such an excellent piece on supporting a friend! The resources to cite on helping are few and far between- most articles I found were geared towards helping your friend crawl out of a deep, dark hole of depression, not just BEING THERE. I don't think most people know where to begin. Again, thank you. I'm grateful my family is there when we need them. It's not ideal, but it will be fine. My parents are supportive and lovely. I used to be (more) crunchy myself (babywearing, cloth diapering, homeschooling, the whole bit), but my "baby" is now 5 and if I tried to sling him, I'd probably throw out my back and if I was forced to start homeschooling again (unless it was necessary for some reason), I'd need a Xanax and a hug. Congrats on forging ahead with what makes you happy and sane! I hope everything works out well- just keep doing what is right for you and yours and everything will work out the way it is meant to work out. xoxoxox

The one where you find out who your friends are.
It takes a crisis in your life to find out who really cares about you. I've made no secret that Mike is getting fired from his job in the military. Earlier this month, we finally found out that the end... Continue reading

The one with the best customer service email ever. Not even kidding.
Ok, I love Groupon-type sites, so I joined Zulilly. They have nice stuff, but it's just not for me. I don't have a baby and I like wearing Pajamajeans. I've been trying to unsubscribe from their emails for a couple... Continue reading
