Room-cleaning day: a comedy in three parts
So The Lovely Rhonda and I give the children an allowance every couple of weeks, allegedly for chores that they do. There are assigned chores (cleaning the catbox, taking out the recycling, etc) and there are “other duties as assigned,” such as filling the cat food dish or picking stuff up in the living room…

2013 in review
It’s interesting — I’m just a casual blogger. I am aware that there are people who blog for a living, and visit blogs specifically to somehow make money off that, but beyond this vague knowledge I have no real idea how it all works. I just like to write silly things about my goofy life…

Ode to Buttsong
Found on the back porch: Buttsong One early morning I heard noise from Debra’s butt. “Debra, you have a buttsong!” “What?!” “There’s no such thing as a buttsong!”she yelled out loudly. So, “Yes there is” I yelled on back, “You just don’t know!” So we spent the whole day arguing, laughing to and fro. Now,…

Listen to my butt song
So this morning the middle child, hereafter referred to as “the middle child,” woke up all giggly and came into Grone Up Land to roust me and the wife out of bed. I mean, it was already like SEVEN O’CLOCK IN THE MORNING ON A SATURDAY, get up already! Guy! Anyway she clambered up onto…

Valentine’s Day
So today is Valentine’s Day, or as we like to call it, “Thursday.” We actually do a little bit of celebrating of Valentine’s Day, but nothing over the top. Everybody gripes about it: its origins, the commercialism, etc. As with most things, I’m rather a moderate on this topic. Personally I think it’s kind of…

Hygiene Issues
So recently we purchased some necessary items at MembershipWarehouseCo, where you can buy such things in bulk and also sample things on toothpicks while you load your cart up with lifetime supplies of toilet paper and hemorrhoid cream and the like. These items we purchased were of a feminine nature. Okay, they were pads. They…

The Weddin’, Part IV: MAWWIAGE
So we got married on January 5th, twice, and the second time it was a little fancier than the first. I’d made this powerpoint of photos of the five of us, arranged chronologically, set to music. When we met, the younger of The Lovely Rhonda’s two daughters was only a year old, her older one…

Bachelorette Party
So I got married last Saturday. The lucky recipient of my affections would be The Lovely Rhonda, in case there was any doubt. Obviously if there is going to be a wedding, there must be a party, and it follows that if it is my party, it must be timed very poorly. We were unable…

Life Changing Accessories
So I’m the one who cleans the shower at our house. It’s an arrangement borne out of a) The Lovely Rhonda’s bleach allergy, b) the excessive mildewy-ness of our particular shower which necessitates the use of bleach, and c) the fact that TLR is willing to take care of the bill-paying. That last point alone…

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…
