The World Is Our Playground

Today was … bizarre. In a single day, I’ve found more friends from a former life as a “back Easterner” than I thought possible. I’ve had Facebook conversations with friends I haven’t spoken with in easily 13-14 years, all of which were as easily picked up as if we had spoken yesterday. It brought back [...]

So, as you all know, we’re mired in this quagmire of a battle between us and the bugs. I think we’re winning, but it’s really hard to tell, and we probably won’t know for at least a week.

What amazes me is how much it’s drawn us together as a family. Weef and I are constantly [...]

Hello all. I am blogging to you from inside a bug infested house. Yes, you heard that right, bug infested. We have bugs in our clothes, in our carpets, in our furniture and of course in our hair. Oh, yes we have bugs!

Now, how did this happen you may ask. [...]

we’ve had this dryer for … what? 4 years or so? in the last few months, it’s started not drying without being run through 2 or 3 cycles. now, granted, i’ve been off laundry patrol since weef’s home all day. so she’s been doing all the washing and drying.

so when this epidemic hit, i [...]

Wherein last week we had a really great weekend, this weekend is shaping up to be one of the worst in history. And by “history,” I mean since the dawn of time. Not just since weef and I got married; not just since we adopted girls 1 and 2. No no, reader. I mean since [...]

This has been one of the best weekends in recent memory. Absolutely nothing grandiose about it; all we did yesterday was clean, clean, clean, clean, clean. “We” being weef and me. The girls sat around and watched movies all day. Not something I normally condone, but in order to accomplish what we wanted to do, [...]

i’ll say this about the gay community: they’re persistent.

this is from KCRA’s website:

“Matt Dorsey, a representative of the San Francisco city attorney’s office, said City Attorney Dennis Herrera will file a legal challenge in the California Supreme Court if the measure wins.”

sure. kind of like when i was a kid and i wanted a [...]

And really … the “lost” battle is Obama winning the presidency, but after listening to his acceptance speech from Chicago, it’s hard *not* to like him. What an incredible orator. If he can live up to his speech, I’ll be impressed.

California, Arizona, and Florida all passed measures to add a line to their respective state [...]

I think that I am supposed to write down seven little known things about myself. Here it goes.

1. I used to be addicted to rootbeer. I love rootbeer but have to be in the mood for it now. (I don’t drink pop very much either sarah).2. I was almost hit/runover by [...]

Right now, I sit in front of the computer as my non-slumbering girls play about 5 feet away from me. I was attempting to put the girls down for thier daily nap and sugar absolutely would not go down. Berry, of course followed shortly after and they both started giggling and running around. [...]
