Eavesdropping on Myself – Zinger

April 30, 2012

I love my husband’s work wife.  She is pretty funny especially when she embarrasses herself. They were talking about how their kids keep sleeping with them. Hubby:  ”Sometimes in the morning it is us, Baby Bug and both of our dogs all in our bed.” Work Wife:  ”Wow!  Sounds like your bed sees lots of action.” He said she [...]

Yada Yada Yada

April 28, 2012

I love this phrase.  Mostly because I’m lazy.  Ok.  Completely because I am lazy.  I want to write about Y but it is Saturday and I have a Baptism to attend in a few hours where I will play the role of Faux Godmother.  Haven’t you always dreamed of being a Faux Godmother?  Oh!  You [...]

Wait! Wacky Women!!!

April 27, 2012

What do you mean W comes after V?  Not X?  Ok.  So I posted X before W.  Who you going to call AtoZ-busters?  I had only had two hours of sleep yesterday.  What to do for W.  Where do I want to take my readers? Who even cares? I could attempt a Gary Busey-esque style: [...]

I am a Xanthippe! Hear me ROAR!

April 26, 2012

A xanthippe is an ill-tempered woman.  Trust me – on nights Baby Bug lets me get about two hours of sleep I am a xanthippe the next day.  Not even my beloved coffee is much of a remedy.  Isn’t xanthippe a terrific word? X is a hard letter to work with.  While there are few [...]

V Vellicates my Verruca

April 25, 2012

(translation V tickles/pinches my wart) V has many words I find rather disturbing. Vivisepulture – The practice of burying people alive.  How sad is it that this has happened often enough it has a name. Vagitus – A baby’s cry or wail.  Or in my house -> the morning alarm clock. Vaticide – Killing or [...]

Utopia

April 24, 2012

While I find the idea of a Utopia intriguing, I wonder if a Utopia would be all that and a bag of chips.  Wouldn’t it get boring?  Would we still grow as a person?  It makes me think what is really fantastic is a little something I’ve dubbed Utopian Moments.  We all have moments in [...]

T is for Time Out

April 23, 2012

I’m taking a time out today.  For the first time I’m going to leave my 7 month old with a friend so I can get my grays covered up.  It is during her usual nap time and I’m hoping she will sleep through my absence.  I’m not sure which one of us will be the [...]

Sunday Social

April 22, 2012

I have to share and tell you yesterday was a record day for us.  First, Baby Bug gave my husband the sign for milk when she got hungry.  She did it over and over.  My husband, the skeptic, was the one to be the proudest.  Then, we participated in The Great Cloth Diaper Change so [...]

The Personalities of Spam

April 21, 2012

I kind of like spam.  Go ahead and call me crazy.  I hear it all the time.  If you read spam (the ones in English), several personality types start to emerge.  There are spammers who compliment you.  (For awhile, I was the hottest thing among Polish Plumbers.  They sure know how to make a girl [...]

Reuse

April 20, 2012

Recycle, Reduce and Reuse We have all heard the mantra – Recycle, Reduce and Reuse.  Most people tend to concentrate on recycling.  I’ve been a huge recycling advocate for 27 years.   However, I have found the key to being eco-friendly is what happens before you get to the recycling phase.   I would go so [...]
