In the sky (finally!), and coming soon to a Science Fair near me: We’ve been busy here doing Henry’s Science Fair project but I’m really proud of him (and me) and of the result. I was determined to have this project be his and at his level, which meant I needed to learn the fine [...]
I just finished The Eyre Affair and Lost in a Good Book, the first two books in the Thursday Next series by Jasper Fforde. They are fun little books, full of wit and literary humor. They are great books to read quickly, just for plot – and fit well with my preferred escapist reading of [...]
Thanks to Mindy for this hilarious find. Yes, it’s an ad, but it is very funny. The final result looks a little too much like my actual van….

Tech-savvy husband upgraded my harddrive from a measly 20G to a robust 80G (an $80 solution, instead of the $2500 new-laptop-solution). Since he’s a software developer, I am very lucky to have him doing all my IT. At the [...]

Mostly because all these toddlers kept taking my Skee Balls and putting their cute little precious heads behind me so I couldn’t really get a proper wind-up. Their poor parents looked so zombie-eyed [...]
I am IN LOVE with this china pattern! I have collected a couple cup and saucer sets, a small plate and a cute mint dish over time and I have now decided to collect it in earnest. My inner 8-year-old girl wants a whole set of this because it’s so fabulously pink and girly (gold [...]
…and his side kick, Doofus Pizzashorts!
