January 2010
In two weeks I’ll be in Florida.
Which sounds really good.
Until you realize that it’s a family vacation. Which means doing stuff with the kids, i.e., Cape Kennedy.
And, we’ll be near my parents. Which means doing stuff with them i.e., talking about where we are going to eat dinner.
And, for a variety of reasons, we are taking the train. A 25 hour trip. With he kids.
...
Best thing about tumblr? The ability to go back and edit typos after posting.
Oh yeah. Teaching my kids the value of sarcasm and being judgemental one beauty pageant at a time.
Both kids are quiet and reading books on the sofa. (Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Fashion Kitty)
Who are you, and what have you done with MY children?
Today marks 10 years since I quit smoking. I haven’t stabbed anyone yet, which is the real accomplishment here.
My vision sucks.
The vision in my right eye is 40 times worse then the left as a result of the torn retina.
I need to wear glasses all the time now. But, I am too stubborn, vain, lazy, careless to do so.
So I spent 2 days wondering why my Tumblr52 post wasn’t showing on the page. It’s because I tagged it Tumblr62 and didn’t see it.
It’s fixed now that I put on my...

Kitchen
We moved into our house when I was 7 1/2 months pregnant with twins. When we decided to buy it I wasn’t really focused on the kitchen. The house was the right price, in the right neighborhood, at the right time.
So my kitchen is very small. No, really small. I have 2 drawers and a whopping 7 cabinets.
I chose a 1970s Merimekko plaid wallpaper with an orange poppy border. This was going to be...
I just ate two blobs of whipped cream off my...
debshock:
What the hell??? Does this mean I am old? Mature? This is awful. I should have eaten the whole can! What is wrong with me? Do I need a doctor?
First, a few quesions…
Did you have any marshmallow fluff either before or after the whipped cream incident?
Do you have a cereal primarily marketed to children in your house? (Cap’n Crunch perhaps?)
Do you have a bag of baby...
Oh yeah, this is a thing
My 25 random things from Facebook;
If I have to choose, I will watch “Bewitched” over “I Dream of Jeannie”. But I hope never to be placed in that situation.
Knitting relaxes me but somehow stresses others.
I love anything with or made from marshmallows.
The 5 basic food groups: sugar, fat, fried, cookies, all other foods.
The pinky on my right hand is smaller than...
Here’s the scene: Steve Jobs is dressed like Moses in The Ten Commandments. He decends a papier mâché mountain and presents the iTablet to the waiting masses.
I totally need to change careers and go into event planning full time.
If we’re talking about pet peeves… mine is, without hesitation, personal grooming in public places.
And by personal grooming I mean NAIL CLIPPING.
Ewwww, gross
An optimist is someone who thinks Mondays are a delivery system for The Big Bang Theory.
Ice Dancing?
To Phantom of the Opera?
Puh-leeze
I just noticed that SFTU and STFU are quite...
(via snackajawea)
exactly.
I woke up with cheese wrappers in my pockets.
girl11eleven:
Why couldn’t it be condom wrappers like normal people?
I woke up with Cheese Goldfish crumbs on the carpet. So there’s that.
I like making the beds first thing in the morning. I like knowing that everything is in it’s place and that the bedrooms are neat.
I use blanket, comforter and throws at the foot of each bed. And lots of pillows or stuffed animals. They are beautiful when I am done.
Do you think this may be the source of my insomnia?
Happy National 3.14159265 Day!
My favorite is Appl.
So, no. I am not going to the SF Tweetup. But I’ll be thinking of you. As I’m sure you will be thinking of me. The whole time.

Who do you commute with?
Ask any 3rd grader about Pokemon card values and they will quote chapter and verse about a character’s worth.
I buy a pack of 12 and a week later there are only 7 cards, after a playdate he comes home with 53 cards. Now he has about 18, but they are EVOLVED!
See that glazed look I am giving as my kids explain it all to me? Not my finest hour.
When I ask for a bagel I want the whole bagel. Not a hollowed out shell of a bagel. Because all the cream cheese collects in the crater. Drrrrrr
I knew i would regret poking around on Facebook. And I was right.
I just saw an app that gives you a Pantone color to match your mood.
Really? That’s how you want to brand Pantone?
When I’m angry, he cups his hand over his mouth, breathes deeply a few times and says “mommy, I am your son” in his best Darth Vader voice.
I can never be mad at him after that.

You are a woman of refined taste, and I knew I loved you for a reason. ;)
I find I like him in his more recent movies better, though....
You know those stick figure decals people put on their vans to count up the kids and pets?
Yeah.
I hate them.
My safe word is margaritas. Or not.

Work with me here
I am pathalogically late when it comes to catching my morning train. Funny, I’m never late for the evening train.
My trip to the train station is 3 miles and I take a variety of routes depending on my degree of lateness. There’s the normal route which will get me from house to parking garage in 5 minutes. There’s the OMG route which shaves off about 45 seconds. And there’s...
Procrastination
Typically I spend 20 minutes straightening my desk before starting a project. This clears the decks physically and mentally (or so I tell myself).
How do you procrastinate?
