Halloween 2007

C0mcast and I… we are on the verge of a break-up. I’m sure my account is flagged as PAIN IN THE ASS CUSTOMER. But what am I supposed to do without a connection? READ or something?
Anyway…
Costumes. This is part of what I’ve been working on lately. Maybe I should thank Crapcast for not letting me [...]

Halloween Costumes

I knew it would happen. I knew eventually I would have to let the kids choose their own Halloween costumes. I was hoping I could get away with one more year of parental control. Alas, I had to give it up once they noticed me shopping online without them. (Damn, my window-hiding mouse finger just [...]

Brave New Web

Today at Parenting: Brave New Web.
Boy I’ve been slacking on blogging lately. I figured I should write about where I’ve been lately… And in case you didn’t read it before, I’ve been Facebooking.
As much as I love Facebook and the Internet, technology scares me. I worry it will be one of the wedges in my [...]

Twins. People. Stupid.

Over at Parenting today: Twins Make People Stupid. (I know… clever title.)
This is moi sharing with vous some of the funny (okay, stupid) things people have said to us… Like asking if our boy/girl twins are identical. If you don’t know why that is funny (or stupid), you might want to go over and read. [...]

Buddy: Hey look, there’s my toy!
Me: Okay, you can play with it for a little while, and then you have to share it with [...]

Mofo Delurk Day

I like this — probably because it uses the word Mofo in it. Schmutzie’s Milk Money, Sweetney, and JenandTonic have declared today The Great Mofo Delurk 2007. I don’t know who they are, but they sound official to me. And speaking of handles, Jen and Tonic has got to be one of the cooler ones. [...]

The Incredibly Boring Evolution of Halfmama

Thank you everyone, for the kind comments from my last post. We had a very nice dinner out at a Korean restaurant that Sarah recommended (thanks again Sarah!).
One weird moment came when G and I ordered OB beers. The waitress asked what size we wanted, and we both said large. They came out with two [...]

Dear Uhma,

Three years ago today, we drove to the hospital with Kun Eemoh to say goodbye to you. You couldn’t talk, and I imagined all the things you would have said to us if you were awake: Be good. Be happy. Be healthy. Live proudly. I heard your real voice a week, or a few days, [...]

Addicted

Me: Hello. My name is Janet. I’m a Facebook-aholic.Other Pathetic Addicts: Hello, Janet.
Linked In, MySpace… thou art so lame in comparison (okay, LinkedIn is cool if you are actually looking for a job and trying to be all serious or something).
One of my Facebook friends has 340+ friends. Wha–? I think I’m at my max [...]
