Where I bore you with Halloween pix of my kid

Get down wit yo bad self, Alex!

Hm. Now what could this stuff be? (Note his mouth is open in this shot.)
I turn around a minute later to this:

That’s my boy! Sniff!

writing till the internet blowz up

So, say I needed to submit 3 writing samples of things I’ve written … would you, by chance, tell me what, if anything, I’ve written that you might recommend I use?
And.

Have I lost my ever loving mind?
Nah, but I’ll bet ya’ll will be reading some novel excerpts
So today, I’m […]

Shot day part two

More shots for the Kaiser yesterday. He still took it really well. He was well past nap time by the time the needles hit his thighs, so he was more annoyed than at the 4 month appointment - but still less annoyed than being trapped in the car for a long road trip. He’s already […]

Mrs. Flinger - better than the gym

Last Monday, I started really focusing on losing the baby weight - thanks to her getting a team together to try and lose the pounds together. I did great right off the bat, then, it rained for three days, it’s now red tent week, and the 2 scoops of ice cream I had last night […]

A while back, I read this post.
Go on, go read it … if I’m borrowing her words I’ll feel okay with it if ya’ll go read what she […]

Squashed

I learned that when you start with a lot of squash…

and pumpkins… and sweet potatoes…

and you put them on the grill to cook…

that when you use the blender to make the puree…
and you need to stop the blender and shift the pieces in the blender…
wait till the blades stop moving before you stick a knife […]

Sleep Training, by Amy

Mommy will get back to the foody goodness later - Tuesday was non stop rain, crabby baby mommy, me loving my mommy so much that she got nothing done, and going slowly crazy from our rain imposed entrapment in the house.
Amy hijacked her mommy’s email last week and sent me this. I’m so glad to […]

Eat yer farkin’ veggies

Okay, so yesterday I talked about my weird ass issues with my hands and hand washing. I’ve used the homemade sanitizer for a fews days now and I really like it. The consistency is relatively the same as the stuff you would buy, the lavender does smell nice and works with the alcohol, rather […]
