i only practice moderation where health food is concerned

March 30, 2007 – 6:50 pm

Once again, I’m trying to make my diet less like the bottom of a caramel-corn box and more like something made by Morningstar. The problem is sugar. As in, I love it with a deep, abiding passion. It gives me nothing but misery, but I keep coming back. Come on, sugar. Love me the right [...]

today’s post is brought to you by fluffy kittens

Oh, the internet has been so heavy the last few days, hasn’t it? It’s seemed that way to me, and since my opinion is the only one that matters I will simply assume you’re nodding your head (and possibly composing rhyming odes to my perspicacity). I’ve been feeling all riled-up and opinion-having, but that takes [...]

back in the sleep training saddle

March 28, 2007 – 8:16 pm

Can’t connect to internet and am feeling v. sorry for self. Baby is sleeping, finally, but I’m going stir crazy. I haven’t had a break all day. I’ve either been wresting with a whiny baby or pointedly not wrestling with a whiny baby or trying [...]

Then I read this [...]

not getting any earlier

March 25, 2007 – 9:37 pm

By all rights, I should be asleep. The baby is asleep. He curled up at a perfectly reasonable and non-insomniac 9:30pm and is now snoozing peacefully at my side. He’s very cute, my kid. I like him immensely.

in which cranky mama gets her crank on

March 23, 2007 – 10:13 pm

I won’t get involved in meta discussions about snark. I won’t.
Okay. I will.
Here’s the thing: we’re all grownups. We know the internet isn’t the same as a living room with a comfy couch and your bestest friends. It’s public, even the bits of it that require passwords and whatnot, and – gasp! – other people [...]

i never meta discussion that i didn’t like

March 23, 2007 – 5:35 pm

It’s all kerfuffle, all the time at my favorite message board, so instead of letting the meta-angst get me down, I’m here to spread joy and love amongst my readers. I am not unlike the Tooth Fairy in that regard. Also, I steal teeth.
Here are ten things that have made me happy in the last [...]
