So I have this thing about the Muppets

Two nuggets of awesomeness while I decompress from our whirlwind Memorial Day. (one-arm sunburn! sick baby! hours and hours and HOURS of driving! whee!)

Nostalgic Sesame Street DVD set coming in October
Fraggle Rock “theatrical release” AND sequel to The Dark Crystal are in the works.

Thanks, Amelia, for the news tip!

Most _adjective_ road trip evar!

Bored? As the Beastie Boys once said, You got two choices of what you could do.

Choose an adjective to fill in the blank, Mad Lib style, for my impending drive.
Tell me a story: worst/best/smelliest/scariest road trip you ever took.

I don’t have any pictures to give away, but maybe I’ll think of something.

Boy, am I glad to be shot of THOSE guys

Today’s reason to party:
I HAVE PAID OFF MY CAR.
Let me say it again: MY CAR IS ALL THE WAY PAID OFF. All the way! No more car payments! I have this flimsy, five-year-old piece of paper to prove it! Woo hoo! It’s like I’ll be making $253.27 a month now just for driving it around.

A couple two-three things Owen does that just kill me

The way he sings out “uh-oh” when I drop something.
The way he carefully lays aside his binky at mealtimes, as though he were a sixth grader placing his retainer beside his cafeteria tray.
The way he pats my belly after I burp.

Viral, self marketing

The viral is my husband. Sick! In pain! Miserable! Poor guy.
The self-marketing is Blogads! I made one for myself using my promotional code-word, “banana.” You could do the same, y’know. Or you could sign on for the low-low price of $10 and guarantee yourself the spot.
Mama C-ta’s post Sell Your Soul made me think […]

600 mg of ibuprofen for him, a big fat anxiety attack for me

Awwww, dudes. Remember when Iain was in the hospital?
Yeah. He’s sick again like that. Fortunately he was able to see the doctor instead of having to rely on the E.R., like last time, but the basic diagnosis is the same: Some sort of virus will continue kicking his ass, hard, for the next 7-10 days.
Poor […]

You bet I do it every day!

Flickr group: We do it everyday.
Here are some of mine for the last week:

And yeah, there’s a set.

Second Thoughts

So, OK. We were thinking about moving to Pittsburgh in the summer of ‘07. His folks live there, and it’s a great town, and it’s only three hours from my parents, and everybody in the Burgh drinks “Arn City” and roots for the “Stillers,” and it’s just two hours from our camp-land up in the […]

Monday’s boot on my ass

Everything sucks. I was going to make a list titled Things That Are Depressing Me but the thought of that depressed me.
•••
So I’m going to link to IzzyMom’s take on blog commenting. Good comments on commenting. Am possibly rethinking my stance on commenting. Usually I at least try to respond here to comments which you, […]

I write this while the baby’s in the playpen watching Elmo

Mama C-ta took the words right outta my mouth.
The only time I have to get anything done is in the evenings and weekends. This is where the stress comes in. And there is only stress because there is guilt. There is only guilt because I can’t figure out how to balance everything. So Cricket is […]
