Sunday, December 12, 2004Christmas begins in the Crazy HouseWe lost again. But then, we always do. The Javelina’s were handed their wild boar asses this weekend in a massacre befitting the big leagues (see photo below, this was while the other team was running; they're an active bunch...). My daughter’s team, and all of the team mothers and fathers, go to... Sign in to see full entry.Friday, December 10, 2004Howdy neighbor!!I don’t know my neighbors, but I get the feeling they know me. They don’t wave hello and seem to look on with averted eyes as I load my brood into the car each day. I think I know why they don't say hello. I don’t like to yell a lot, so when I do yell I do it loudly, on the grounds that if I yell...

The Cat has turned into a source of unending interest to Taylor; he spends large chunks of time trying to get The Cat to "Dance, Kit Kat, dance!". Evidently, no amount of The Wiggles and Taylor combined can get a cat to dance. Also notable is my complete... Sign in to see full entry.Thursday, December 9, 2004Mother knows best. And.. I'm an idiot.Alex had soccer practice today, and it was going to be chilly so I got the stroller and put it in the Expedition; I chose the double stroller and shoved it into the backseat from the only side of the car accessible when it is in the garage (nothing on the passenger side can be opened in the garage,...

As my daughter and I sat there with The Cat in a box and waited (waited well past our appointment time- they really are like people doctors!)...

The Cat needs to be checked for something or other, I don’t understand Vetspeak and therefore am useless to translate their lingo. Catnip whoozits and litter box whatzits… fine. Bring in a stool sample? Sure, I’ll bring a stool sample… are they kidding? I draw...

No, no, no, not ME, just the rest of my tiny family (ma, pa, brother and that woman to whom he insists he is legally wed). They fare better around slot machines and card tables...

Only at this time of year would I be so out-of-my-mind wacko to not only entertain the idea of a pet, but to go out and make that nightmare a reality with the...

Yes, Slapwich. It comes in a tiny little lunch box. It is hilarious. I won’t bore you with the details of the game, but it involves slapping a deck of cards in the middle of a table full of players when...

I am the one who usually puts a meal together, and I have become sort of blasé about the process. I don’t read directions or measure ingredients, and I very rarely consult with the cookbook (I make the same meals over and... Sign in to see full entry. |
