ME: So, now that HALF of the lights are out, could you change the bulbs in the bathroom vanity? HIM: Huh, I didn’t even notice until the last one died. ME: Maybe it’s because you don’t point sharp, ink-filled objects directly at your eye every morning. HIM: Uh, yeah. I can see how you might [...]
As part of the blog neglect/reinvigoration/navel-gazing, I have been thinking about what a techno-dinosaur I am to the young things today. I still run Movable Type, which all the cool kids used to use, but now they’ve all gone WordPress or Drupal or whatever. I don’t even run the latest version of Movable Type – [...]
Warning: Long Whine Ahead, with a dose of TMI. Feel free to skip this entry. I was up the first half of the night with Peter, who threw up six times (the first of which tagged the comforter, the sheets, the pillow, the bedskirt, and the wall – pooling into a giant, disgusting swamp on [...]
In his (wonderful) guest post, Dave called me She Who Must Be Obeyed. Hmmm. He definitely listens to me, supports me, cherishes me, and loves me. But obeys me? Not so much. When it comes to House Projects, I become She Who Must Be Ignored. But this weekend, Dave came through. For a long time, [...]
Dave Smith wonder-husband here. She who must be obeyed is recovering from the slingshot effects of her latest concoction, the Singapore Sling. But from her debilitated state, lying lifeless on the sofa she was able to utter the words, “I have idea! You post my blog entry for the day.” Every once in awhile I [...]
It was Dave’s Fault! I’m relieved. Not only was the Certified Letter not terrible, horrible, awful news – it was also my husband’s fault. On Tuesday, Dave caught his bus at a different Park-N-Ride and apparently parked illegally. The lot was full, so he joined the line of cars who were parked “creatively” at the [...]
How did Dave and I spend our Friday night? Making rss buttons, comments feeds, and favicons. Yes, we’ve been married 14 years. Yes, we are nerds. (I have to admit, all his nerdy help tonight makes him waaaay attractive to me. That, and the fact that he put both kids to bed…) So, check it [...]
Henry: Daddy, I need some goodnight kisses Daddy: But I just gave you a bunch of goodnight kisses Henry: Yes, but I didn’t feel any water
Whew! It’s been a crazy couple days here on the back end of my pink toes! 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 [...]
For a while, I checked all the time to see if new comments arrived. Kind of like waiting for the phone to ring in high school. And, as then, there was no news. Then a friend told me that she tried to leave a comment and it didn’t work. My tech-savvy husband and I realized [...]
