Tomorrow is April Fool’s Day. (Dammit, I just remembered that I need to change the air filters tomorrow). Gene looooves April Fool’s Day. Last year he called me from Bumfuck, Kansas (look on a map, it’s right there) to say he’d been arrested and that he needed me to Western Union bail money. Dork. He…

Stepmonster
In the middle of all the drama with The Boy I decided to hunt up a message board support group for stepmothers. I found one and I’ve been lurking there a few weeks now. What I read really depresses me. Either A) The stepmother and her husband have 100% custody of the kid(s), which makes…
100 Things About Me
1. I have never seen an episode of Oprah. Never, ever. Not even when the topic was interesting to me. 2. My laptop at home has MS Publisher installed (I demanded it) because whenever I write something it makes me pathetically happy. 3. I have a secret baby registry on BabyAge. (When Plan B comes…
Remember 26 days ago?
When I said I’d put a post written by Gene on the blog? And then 26 days passed and I hadn’t done it yet? Well, HERE! (And please remember that Maaahhh Huzzband is a lifetime member of the NRA). OK, read the article above first. I’m not going to rehash everything in there, but comment…
whaaaa?
Why did traffic on the ole Blog go all the way to 28 (yeah, don’t laugh! My traffic is quiet since you can’t Google me anymore) on 3/23? I mean, that was the day after the day I turned old 30. Did someone have an itchy blog surfing finger? As far as I can tell,…
Reading? What’s that??
I had to reveal something pretty awful to the boy this past weekend: “No, I’m not reading anything right now” I am now, more or less (I’m on page 10 or so of The Worry Cure and my friend Julie gave me Shopaholic & Baby for my birthday), but it’s been a few weeks since…
oh, sheet
I forgot to write that the lemon juice totally worked perfectly and the sheet is as clean as a whistle (whatever that means). We are sleeping on it this week and so far we haven’t contracted the Black Death. I am a super genius. Thank you, Internet!
Realization Strikes Again…
I have figured out why I am devastated (only minorly) about the whole Kansas losing to UCLA thing, why I spent an hour (at work, shhh) reading comments on PopCandy about the Battlestar Galactica season finale (and it’s not just because I totally love Mary McDonnell in anything she does) and why I can’t stop…
Measles?
So I washed one of our two sets of sheets last weekend…and they sat in the washing machine until maybe Tuesday. (This is standard procedure for my dumb ass). I ran them through the rinse cycle again (yes, I really am Suzy Homemaker!) because that’s what I do and they came out with a trillion…
And in newsier news…
I am still doing OK in my NCAA tournament bracket. What’s weird is that when I look at my bracket (and I do, often, even when there are no games currently being played) all but one of my incorrect guesses are on one side of the bracket (I thought Texas A&M would beat Memphis –…
