I thought you all might like a good laugh, even if it is at my own expense.
Today I am working from home with a Travis (2 years old), sick. We have been relaxing in our jammies (note: “jammies” for me means boxers and a white t-shirt) while I work and he watches Sesame Street. Everything [...]
Recently I had possibly the nerdiest conversation of my entire life. I woke up at 5:30 am because River (5 months old) thought it was morning. My brother-in-law, Brian, happened to be online and started the conversational seed to massive nerdery: October, Halloween, horror movies, and some zombie comics he has been reading. Also, I’ve [...]
So we all know of the homeopathic remedies. It’s a very out of date theory about how to properly heal our bodies when we’re ill. And we all (should) know that it’s all pseudoscience and bunk. Unfortunately many don’t… hopefully because they just haven’t looked in to the “science” behind this.
So, a [...]

We got Kincaid this Little Einstein’s plush Leo doll for Christmas:
I just started to remove it from it’s box and noticed that the packaging is for the Little Einstein’s June doll.
Not only that, but then I squeezed his tummy to make him talk… and he seems to speak only German.
Packaging epic fail.
So I’m standing at the door to the 83L at the downtown bus station. Had about 6 minutes until the bus was to show up. I was the only one waiting at the time. And then some random guy came up next to me and asked, “Excuse me, are you waiting for [...]
So the other day Jillian was watching a rerun of ER. And this is my recap of the episode, with absolutely no exaggerations.

Woot’s product descriptions are usually more interesting than the product they sell.
Yesterday’s Woot was brilliant. Dear American Tax Payer.
No more haggis!
I ran out late for my cheap hamburger lunch today to hopefully wait less for it. And I won, it was super fast.

“Gays! You only have [...]
