I’ve said before that for someone who blogs and Tweets, I’m pretty much a Luddite. I also hate making phone calls. Have I said that before? Once my Mom tasked me with calling the pizza parlor to place an order and I was crying with, I don’t know, anxiety or something. So perhaps it’s no … [Read more…]
J crept into our room at 2 am complaining that her head hurt and she was coughing too much to sleep. Sure enough, she had a fever, and even after some Motrin she was shivering under her covers, so I spent much of the night in bed with her before stumbling back to my own … [Read more…]
I just love it when the land of social media is bursting with joyful karma, like when I wrote about The Bloggess and her Red Dress Project, and in the last week or so there have been a couple of delightful feel-good social media items, so I thought that I’d share them. I don’t know … [Read more…]
I wasn’t emotionally prepared for all of that snow. But if you spent any time outside in the afternoon, it was about as gorgeous and spring-like as a snow day could possibly be. Cute W was working late (and then driving from up north, through the snow) last night, so we slept in a bit … [Read more…]
I mentioned way back in August that the Schenectady Museum is now called miSci, which stands for the Museum of Science and Innovation. I finally got a chance to check out the new-and-improved science museum last week, so I thought that I’d give you a report. If you haven’t already heard, they’ve got a Butterflies … [Read more…]
Saturday before last was J’s first-ever gymnastics meet. Honestly? It was a bit of a Parental Endurance Test, not least because it involved seven and a half hours combined of driving and hanging around for less than 5 minutes of my kid actually doing gymnastics. J loves gymnastics, but there are plenty of other things … [Read more…]
Recently it was Cute W’s birthday, and instead of cake, I made him a family favorite: chocolate mousse. We all love this mousse. Cute W brought some leftover mousse with him to work the next day, and while he was eating (and probably moaning, just a little, with pleasure), one of his co-workers apparently asked … [Read more…]
Why hello. I’ve been slacktastic when it comes to posting, mostly because I’ve been busy. First, hunting down every. single. parent. in the 5th grade to extort a baby picture of their child for the baby pictures section of their graduating-from-elementary-school yearbook (which may be moot if the local middle school closes and they’re stuck … [Read more…]
I’m embarrassed to admit it, but when we went along with M’s Girl Scout troop on Friday to do some Free Ice Skating at the Rink at Empire State Plaza, it was the first time I’d ever skated there. I’ve been meaning to go for . . . a while. But now that I’ve finally … [Read more…]
Hey! I started to make a link list, and then I remembered that I can embed videos easily now, too. And then I realized that when I embed the videos, it screws around with my formatting. And then I decided that I didn’t care. And then I started typing this, and I started to care, … [Read more…]
