Babble

I forgot to categorize it. Might mean something. Probably doesn’t.

O Font of Searchable, Specific Knowledge…

Yes, I use my blog to keep track of things I need once a year. Laugh if you like, but nobody wants me not remembering how to light my pilot light in the fall. (Really. You don’t want that.) I started this post some time ago, and it was about finding a Christmas tree, but […]

Mistakes Were Made, but not by ME

Mistakes Were Made, but not by ME

No, I don’t really believe that. It’s the title to a book. One I’m going to have to get my hands on. One thing I can say…if you are ever trying to have a discussion about ableism (disableism) and the people you are talking to are not understanding–do not, I repeat DO NOT–try to explain

The Loot

I got a pretty candle, some yummy chocolate, a Saiyuki DVD, a Calvin and Hobbes book, and a happy kid. She got a new phone, a cable box (we’ve been without TV for two years), nail polish, nail art, BIG hoop earrings…many girly things she’s been dying for. Oh, and Santa brought her fireworks. Thanks,

Guilty Pleasures

Guilty Pleasures

You know what I mean. Those things you do, that you just know people would laugh at you for. The stuff you like, that you’re supposedly too sophisticated or too smart or too whatever for. One of my co-workers was asked (at a previous job) if she wasn’t “too old” to be a Buffy fan.
