peace joy love merry christmas

Lights sparkle on branch,
ornaments may bend the bough
but they please the soul.
Little boys can’t wait
for what the brown truck brings them;
please pass the scotch tape.
Milk nog is yummy
better than egg nog for sure –
coffee nog cures all.
I got a Kindle
and discovered free reading;
please forward my mail.
I once had a blog
but holidays took over,
Merry Christmas all.

“Swine Flu” is not sexy.

Thumbnail image for “Swine Flu” is not sexy.

I tried to post a blog the other day. It was so incoherent, I have no idea what I was thinking. I even took a (blurry) picture of my ceiling with my phone that I attached to the post. It was bizarro.
In case you hadn’t guessed, I caught a bug. I [...]

An Inconvenient Truth

Thumbnail image for An Inconvenient Truth

I seem to be talking about Al Gore a whole lot lately. First about that time he invented the internet… and now this.
Well, Gore. ‘Splain me somethin’, please?

Remember that bit about melting ice caps?

About how the earth is warming because of our irresponsibility?

I have discovered my own inconvenient truth. And it’s pretty [...]

The FTC Shtuff: a real-life pretend example.

October 7, 2009

Real-life pretend. *snort*
This post is in reaction to my earlier post.
I have gotten quite a few confused emails, especially from hobby bloggers who do product reviews. I will try to clarify to the best of my understanding, using a real-life pretend example.
The part that’s tricky, in my opinion, is the product reviews and [...]

funny children photography outtake funny kid pic

This is just too good not to share. One of my outtakes. It’s kinda blurry because at this point I was laughing so hard the camera was shaking.

Proof that “kiss the baby” means something entirely different when you’re 3.

I Love Lucy

Gracious, I’ve been wanting to use that title for-absolutely-ever.
So who’s Lucy?
Well, you got to meet her briefly in my horribly embarrassing video blog.
This girl cracks me up.
She thinks she’s a dog. She comes running to the door to greet anyone from guests to the Fed Ex guy.
She throws herself on their feet, demanding a [...]

My blog is what?!

June 20, 2009

These arrived in the mail in a package addressed to my boys. I’d just like to thank my friend J for a moment for keeping up the pretense that those would actually be eaten by my children. Thanks, J! I love them! The boys love them!
On Friday morning, I wake up [...]

Every Picture Has a Story

Marsha, Amy & Darcy
When these were delivered to our room:

With this letter:

We decided to forgive the hotel guy who clearly had never heard of a possessive or rules of capitalization and go with it. I’m not sure if we were them:

or them:

But even though we are actually big ol’ geeks who were doing [...]

Interview With a Boybarian

February 25, 2009

Well, if you hung out with me for the 5 whole days I tried Facebook you may have seen the interviews. Since I had all of 12 friends, I’m assuming this is new material for most of you. If not, I hope you’ll love me anyway.
This is an Interview with 8-year-old Einstein:

Word of the Day and Growing Boybarians

February 22, 2009

I have to start this with a funny. Because I am a real-and-true certified geek, I subscribe to m-w’s word of the day. It’s okay, you can laugh. Handy Man makes fun of me all the time. Until I kick his bootie in Trivial Pursuit, Scrabble and Cranium, that is. [...]

Dear loved ones,

December 18, 2008

I know that you were sooo very much looking forward to the annual Christmas card. *wink wink* I cannot deny the strapping gorgeousness that is my 3 boybarians. But you see, it’s not that we don’t love you all very much. It’s that well…

“You really aren’t that funny in person!”

November 26, 2008

That was my husband’s reaction to the homeschool blog award nominations. Say what he wants, I’ve caught him sitting here laughing at the blog. I’m so lucky that he loves me in spite of myself. But he kinda has a point.
What he doesn’t know is that inside my own head, it’s like [...]

The Wait is Over!

November 21, 2008

All the weeks of waiting are over. And I’m so stinkin’ excited because I don’t even have to go alone. And I’m only mildly alarmed with the rumors that Robert Pattison doesn’t wash his hair. Whatever. His hair was washed while he was Edward.
And that’s good enough for me.

Not that I’m counting or anything.
So on Saturday, my hubba hubba Handy Man walks in and chucks a box in my direction. It’s already open. Never mind that it’s a federal crime to open someone else’s mail. He thinks it’s a Christmas present we ordered.

Advertisers – Meet Your Match!

October 23, 2008

Advertisers know where the money is.
Unless you’ve been living in a cave, you’ve noticed that advertisers are taking note that we Tivo our shows and fast forward through the commercials. They know that print media no longer carries the weight it once did. Online media is the *it* place to be.

Who else was screaming alongside Michael Phelps and Team USA as they beat France by a practically immeasurable fraction of time?

He’s Done It Again

May 27, 2008

I tell ya’ what. Every day I look straight into the eyes of my oldest child and implore him to stop.
“Stop growing, child!” I tell him.
