New Stuff

Lookit!
The Header is made by the lovely VDog and her friend Karen. Isn’t it awesome?
And remember about a month ago when I forgot I had a blog? It’s cuz I was knitting. Non.Stop. I have a bunch of hats I’m going to try to sell local, but for the rest, I have set up an [...]

How I Got Here

Originally posted July 30, 2007
Sara kept telling me I should start a blog.
In the middle of the night of the first few weeks of Baby Kaiser’s world, I started reading them constantly. I don’t even know where I got started. It might have been here while I tried to figure out if it was normal [...]

To Whom it May Concern

To anyone giving me dirty looks in the grocery while I was holding my vocally crabby infant and pushing his stroller: Yes, I know it looks stupid, Yes, I know he’s annoying to listen to, I know this because I spend several hours a day listening to it. You get to [...]

Bob the Builder ain’t got nuttin’ on me.

So this doesn’t look TERRIBLE

BlogHer - Thursday Par-tays

Photo goodness for your Friday enjoyment! (Tiny announcement at the bottom.)
Our flight was uneventful. Alex yet again was a spectacular flyer, and apparently Delta doesn’t care how he old he is either.
We got downtown, got settled in our room at the Westin, and got hooked up with VDog. As I rode in the elevator [...]

Hair - On a very special BlogHer recap

One good thing about the BlogHer conference is that it prompted me to get off my ass and actually remember the whole Hawtalucion.
So I went on a journey of hair proportions. I asked your advice and the majority said EXTREME MAKEOVER DAWN’S BLOGHER HAIR EDITION.
I did NOT want the Rachel.
The entire time in the chair, [...]

A couple of props to a couple of BlogHers

This is short cuz I’m tired and all.
But I keep thinking about how much I loved hearing Mr. Lady’s voice reading her words at the Friday night keynote. Even though it hurt, even though I get it a little too well. She got a standing O when she was finished, and she completely deserved it. [...]

Pre BlogHer Haze

Oh it’s a great haze. Got up at 230am Cali time after getting 3 hours of sleep. Flew with hubs and tiny toddler tornadocane. Made it to the hotel and fell down exhausted in gratitude of checking in early.
(Will link later - as in - when I’m not drunk on free booze.)
Have hugged VDog and [...]

Ripping off a Poem

Twas the night before BlogHer
and all through my house
there was packing and cursing
thank God no mouse.
*
The flasks were filled in the kitchen with care
In hopes that Mr. Lady would sure want to share.
*
The Kaiser was passed out all sprawled in HIS bed
While visions of shoe shopping danced in my head.
Scout on the computer and I [...]
