Believe it or not, I do have an explanation of why I change my blog’s appearance so often. It seems I have this thing where I easily become annoyed with the color on the walls in my home. Whereas one week Hawthorne Yellow is my absolute FAVORITE color, the next it feels like I’m living in a tub of “I Cant Believe It’s Not Butter”. I’ve done...

A recent event in my community has led to some negative media coverage involving our school district. One twin cities news station stumbled upon a website that I own and maintain for one of our sports teams and, without my permission, used my images in their news story. I was completely shocked as I watched their story unfold on television and saw how they used my photos without so much as a “May we?”. The last thing I wanted was for...
Recording Elly, even with a poor quality video cam, and putting it on YouTube is like handing me the keys to a Godiva store and saying “Have at it. Don’t stop til you get enough.” It’s her dream come true, only because she’s too young to audition for American Idol. And not once did any of her...
Dooce wears the man clogs. Read about it here. What’s next? Rosie O’Donnell announces that she’s actually a heterosexual and pro-war?
This is getting old now. Whatever you are holding out for or wanting is simply not as important as my viewing pleasure so I am asking you nicely to get back to work. Unless, of course, you are being forced to work under inhumane working conditions like drinking water from the community fountain instead of...

For those of you who do not know, my nine year old daughter is the author of a blog called “Ask Miss Elly”. She offers unusually wise advice for someone who still cannot reach the glasses on the shelf of our kitchen cupboard without jumping on the counter first. For those of you who do know...

Imagine being too small to take part in one of doghood’s greatest pleasures: drinking from a toilet. Thankfully we were able to provide an alternative for Mr. Bingley. Now if only we could find a miniature fire hydrant…
Saturday we spent the entire day at a wrestling tournament for Kevin. By entire day I mean from the hours of “Are we there yet?” to “If I have to watch one more match, my eyeballs are going to implode”. It was a long day of plugging quarters into our children so that they...
I must have been a bad girl this year because Santa brought me a nasty virus for Christmas. It was one of those coughing, aching, stuffy head, fever gotta rest type of illnesses and I’m just now, ten days later, feeling back to my old self again. Thanks for nothing, Airborne. Anyway, as I was lying...
