Compare. Contrast. Weep.
So I have this wonderful, brave friend who is living her dream. She’s in France, speaking French all the time, eating things that sound French even if they aren’t just because she is in France, and she does these things that you can apparently do in France much more easily than here. Here is a…

How To Turn 45
So yesterday was my birthday, or as a friend put it, the “anniversary of my continued homeostasis upon this planet.” We couldn’t let this go uncelebrated, so The Lovely Rhonda threw some invitations out and a few people dropped by. I’m deeply uncomfortable allowing people to see how we normally live, i.e. like filth-beasts wallowing…

The Afterparty
So ten children ages 7 (x 1), 6 (x 2), 5 (x 5), 4 (x 1) and 3 (x 1) makes for an interesting afternoon. There were games! There was laughter! There were owies and/or boo-boos! Tears! Mayhem! Cuppycakes! Delirium! Chaos! Dora the Explorer party favors! And eventually, an absence of children, and peace, and…

Spring, and cleaning. Sort of.
So I have this stupid broken foot which necessitates the use of a big Velcro boot. So attractive, and the very pinnacle of comfort. I’m at loose ends today in that The Lovely Rhonda is at work and the children are all off at their other homes. There’s been a lot going on lately that…

Subterfuge
So a while back The Lovely Rhonda sat before her computer and giggled madly while typing something. She then told me she knew what I was getting for Christmas. Well, I’m no rocket surgeon but I narrowed down the list of people she could be chatting with on her computer and determined that there was…
