Another day, much like the last two. Just sitting at home, monitoring various news sources, walking outside to cast worried glances up at the ridge, and waiting to see what the fire will do. taken about 12pm from our corner. We are currently under “voluntary evacuation” and so, of course, we are staying put. We [...]

But not so much today. That’s the view of one edge of the Station Fire currently burning above La Canada, as seen from my next door neighbor’s front yard. A few more pics are up on my flickr. We are eating iceberg wedges with blue cheese dressing for dinner. When stressed, the classics appeal. You’d [...]
Enough with Chris Brown, already.

You know, I’m kind of pissed off about the Chris Brown/Rihanna thing, but maybe not for the reasons you’d think. When I was 5 months pregnant with my oldest, her bio dad (NOT the ex Mr. Honey and Ollie) got mad one night and slapped me around, then choked me almost into unconsciousness. He probably [...]

Ganked from… well… all over. I propose a US health care meme which might help put faces on how screwed up the current system is. If you are a US citizen and could never under any circumstances afford private health insurance, copy this meme to your LJ, blog or website. Even if you have health [...]
Fantastic trip. We totally ate like wee piggies… Which made me very happy! I’m especially happy in this shot because everyone else was eating raw oysters and I played the kosher card for all it was worth. I really dislike raw oysters. The taste is ok, but it’s a textural thing. The girlie, OTOH, ballsed [...]

We’ve all heard about the Flylady, I’m sure, that uber happy gal who advocates cleaning your house in a very systematic but effective fashion and whose chirpy reminder emails are apparently legion. Er, frequent. Like, crazily so. Well she’s a little bit too happy for me, frankly, I’m a little suspicious of anyone who is [...]

Finals being over, it is time for fun! In a week or two (after my spa day of course!) the youngest and I are heading off on a whirlwind trip up the Central Coast of CA, explore the area, maybe go to the elephant seal sanctuary, and then we’ll spend 3 days in a B&B [...]
