I Still Want to Get Rid of All My Stuff–Part Deux

March 1, 2016

A while back, I ranted about wanting to get rid of stuff. Since that rant, we have moved from our three bedroom house to a four bedroom house with slightly more square footage but slightly less living and storage space (but one more toilet!) and one person–my brother-in-law–has moved out (of state) with his new […]

Pink Is for Shoes

June 15, 2013

Snort is two. The mind of a two year old can be unfathomable at times. He has just recently started asserting preferences in what clothing he is to wear.

I am a very literal-minded person. I’m like Bones on the TV show, except I’m only above average, not a genius. Certain kinds of humor are a bit beyond me, because I don’t get it off the bat and once you stop and analyze it’s not that funny any more. Princess Fartypants takes after me […]
