Well, it’s February and everything is terrible. That’s my excuse for letting things languish around here. Someone spilled something on my computer again, and the quick and easy warranty process only took eleven steps and nine years to complete. Everyone is throwing up. Corrie is hallucinating sad gazebos in the heating vent, and won’t drink … Continue reading “What’s for supper? Vol. 119: It is almost March.”
I just posted my most-read posts from 2017. It’s a good list, and thorough. (I’m just gonna keep telling that joke until it’s funny.) My most popular posts are not always the ones I’m most glad I wrote, though, so here are my own top ten favorite from 2017. The best news is, I have … Continue reading “My own favorite 10 posts from 2017!”

Imagine an introduction here, won’t you? Here’s what we ate this week: SATURDAY Us old folks WENT AWAY TO THE OCEAN. It was, as I’ve mentioned, our 20th anniversary, and we had a quick getaway. It was wonderful. As we pulled out of our driveway on Friday night, my husband apologized profusely and then … Continue reading “What’s for supper? Vol. 106: Thaint Thylvethter, pray for uth”
Lordy, what a busy week! Between running around, huge cleaning projects, cars being unreliable, prepping for parties and outings, going on field trips, making Halloween costumes, parent-teacher conferences, painting the cat green (okay, Corrie helped with that), and various alarms in the night, it was, lordy, a busy week. Here’s what we had: SATURDAY Aldi … Continue reading “What’s for supper? Vol. 105: I may have overdone things”
Sad story, short version: I was sitting in the bathroom, half-watching Corrie paddle around in the tub, half-writing something or other. Enter the kitten, who strolls in placidly, sniffs at my feet, checks out a little toothpaste smear on the cabinet, and then propels himself into my lap with the force of a rocket and … Continue reading “What’s for supper? Vol. 103: Kitten pie, Mr. Tweedy”
In which I cook and complain my way through another week. Join me, won’t you? SATURDAY Hamburgers, chips Saturday seems like so long ago, and yet the week flew by. Good thing I wrote down meals so there’s some evidence the week even existed. Speaking of which, have I told you lately how much it … Continue reading “What’s for supper? Vol. 93: Bei mir bist du shwarm”

Originalos (and Valhalla Rising) Let’s say you’ve picked out a swell movie to watch, and everyone’s ready and snuggled up on the couch, except that one kid is still washing the dishes. Still. So what do you do? You watch a few episodes of Originalos. Here’s a representative sample: … Continue reading “Valhalla Rising, cavemen farting, Terry Pratchett giving it a shot, and me running(!)”
