Week 2 of the Song Reminds of series...and let's take a trip overseas...both with the song and the memory for me. This week - it's the Radiohead classic - Fake Plastic Trees *how about a version when they're on Conan...before the whole Jay fiasco*   I first heard Radiohead when I went … [Read more...]

I have a social kid.  I'm thrilled about it.  Now that he's getting older, he makes friends whereever he goes - the park; the coffee shop; the walk-in clinic (he really loves going there!).  He particularly likes older kids.  You can see his energy level just ramp up the minute … [Read more...]

I was thinking about Wordless Wednesdays and Follow Fridays on Twitter...and I know I do the Random Friday WTFs here (which tend to come on Wednesday)...are you following me here... I loooove music.  I work for a radio company so it's around me all day.  At home, we have music on … [Read more...]

Will is in the midst of his first obsession - his first love that isn't me or his aunt...or his blankie.  And it's intense. I have obsessions.  In high school it was Boris Becker.  I moved on to Eddie Vedder in my early 20s.  As I grew up - I'd add sushi, Advil, dark beer and any … [Read more...]

Ugh.  It's the cherry on top of a steaming pile of crap.  My garage door didn't work tonight.  I've paid to have it fixed already.  Honestly a week ago - this would have pissed me off but tonight - tonight...I've HAD IT!!!!  Enough already.  The tears are a flowing. Do … [Read more...]

Lately I've been thinking that I want another tattoo.  I have one.  It's on the back of my neck and it took me a very long time to figure out what I wanted and where.  I love tattoos but if I'm going to have a permanent mark on my body....well, I wanted it to be something I wouldn't … [Read more...]

Last week we were talking about how our kids mangle everyday words for our sheer amusement!  I forgot about one though. Lately, Will has been getting down with all things electronic.  Whether it's Wags, the singing dog from the Wiggles; his new cash register and scanner (which comes with … [Read more...]

So it's 4:44am and I'm awake and I have been since 3:30 when Will woke up for his now nightly 5 minute scream fest.  It's been going on for a couple weeks now and when it first started it was so out of the ordinary that I ran in there to comfort him.  Bad idea.  It took me 10 days to … [Read more...]

Let's lighten it up people!  It's been a deep week over here with postpartum, life journeys and Bill O'Reilly!  Thought I'd give you a few Wiil'ism's that happened this week.  A couple made me think how screwed I'm going to be in the future because this kid is not only a smart-ass but … [Read more...]

Well it's Wednesday again and as has been the case over the past few weeks, apparently it's the WTF day as opposed to Friday for me.  Today though - WTF seems almost too minimal for how insane and destructive this story is. This week as I'm sure most of you read in the media, a mother in South … [Read more...]
