Bad timing is house-hunting when one of the largest and oldest financial institutions is about to go bankrupt, sending the market (and mortgage rates and loans) into a tailspin. Let’s hope the latest news stabilizes things in the near future. Otherwise we might be knocking on your door soon with a truckload of boxes behind […]

Lists of Split Personalities
When you have two kids in two different classrooms, you are exposed to twice as many germs. It has been one sickness after another here and I have finally fallen victim. So I’m sitting on the couch with the laptop right now and moaning like a big baby. Thankfully no one else is home to […]

The Aimless Word
Yesterday the kids’ school had a parent seminar about Language in the Home; about developing language skills and how we can help guide them. It was interesting and I love that the school makes time to offer advice about our kids.
B&B are pretty on-track with their language abilities. They are probably still a little hard […]

Random Re*meme*ergence
I know, I KNOW! You people are blog vultures. Can’t you let a blogger hibernate in peace?
Okay okay… Well, what better way to reemerge than to start with a meme? I was tagged for the Random meme awhile back (by Kim, Hedgehog, and Angela), and I figured this is the best way for a slow […]

Blog-xistentialism
Apologies to anyone who received 24 RSS updates to the same post yesterday. Technical difficulties.
And if you received updates to any old posts today, apologies again. I am freaked out by Mamazilla’s report that some random creep had favorited photos of Paloma, so I’m taking a cue from other bloggers. I deleted a bunch of […]

TO DO
(Found this on swissmiss, one of my fave design blogs.) A NYC art installation in DUMBO:
My favorite TO DO contributions (from swissmiss’ flickr pages and Illegal Art’s (the creators) previous installations):
- SMILE & MAKE OTHERS SMILE(next to it:)- ^ KILL THIS PERSON
- QUIT being afraid of Wisconsin
Here are mine:
- Sell house.- Stop procrastinating.- Finish reading […]

Plastic Surgery
Is anyone else getting annoyed about all these toxic plastic warnings? I’m talking about the plastics that occupy almost every room of my home; their toxins supposedly burrowing into our bodies like rude cancerous house guests. I don’t know if these articles are alarmist or not because for every article I read that says PLASTICS […]

Inspired by Scott Baio
It’s a sloooow summer in the blog world. Seems like everyone is on vacation. Or maybe everyone is getting their hair/nails/boobs done for BlogHer. This is going to be a lame post. (Surprisingly, my ‘throwaway posts’ don’t attract the crowds that MetroDad’s do.) But this really was one of my lame thoughts today.
Has anyone watched […]

Offsides
We came across these plastic glasses while packing for our move:
I have no idea where they came from. G is convinced they are my Dad’s. Because apparently my Dad looks like Benjamin Franklin.
They have officially been marked as a dress-up toy. Ben’s trash has become the twins’ treasure.

Three people now have told me how much […]

Surprises of the Week
I covet. But how the hell do this many people (est. 500,000!) have $600 to spend on a phone? Okay, someone pointed out to me that the majority of these people actually don’t have the money to buy this phone (note to self: buy stock in credit card companies). Still. I am way, WAY, too […]
