We have our own luck dragon. Sort of. It’s the Luck Jack! (He’s just sad because I made him pose for a picture instead of rubbing his belly. He got his belly rubs 30 seconds later.)   (This is a bit of a placeholder post. Expect another one later today.)

I’ve watched this twice and I’ll probably watch it again.  I feel bad. Schadenfreude is wrong. *evil grin.* My favorite part was when the nurse said, “In normal labor you’d be having another contraction right now.” Big burly man, “But I don’t want that!” For the record, I don’t think labor is the worst pain [...]

What’s the difference between a cat and a dog? A dog ponders his relationship with man: “He feeds me, he grooms me, he takes care of all my needs… He must be God!” A cat thinks: “He feeds me, grooms me, takes care of me. I must be God.” Which reminded me of this: Ahem. [...]

This has been a hard, painful week, and what we need is some laughter and some joy. So here is my contribution. Share your own and pass it on. And hug some people today. Side hug, if you need to.   A cat on a roomba, dressed as a shark, chasing a duckling. Yeah, you [...]

To mark the occasion, I give you a post to help ease the pain. At least they can’t tax laughter. Yet. “Certainty?

Although grammar and writing have always been my strengths,  I’ve learned things I never would have discovered in the process of teaching my children. For example, the future perfect tense is the parent’s tense: [...]

Last week we visited MTG’s family in Minnesota. I thought it was a great time to read The Bloggess’s book Let’s Pretend This Never Happened. It was hilarious and sad and great. Read it. Not enough of a review? Fine then. But first a bunch of disclaimers. Who shouldn’t read this book: If you don’t [...]

No, not funny pictures of cat with silly captions.  The kind where you find out your cat needs his Magnificent Tail amputated and then find out that may not be possible because he may have “significant heart disease.”  That sort of Cat Edition. sigh This is an all-visual Terrible Tuesday.  I’ve got no energy for [...]

I swear, that first kid is telling the second kid the story behind the lost sock.  I think it’s happened before. And it will happen again.  Because he will not listen to his brother’s advice.

Which one is more over the top. This Or This? Go vote. (Lazy blogging, I know, but I’m 8 for 8!)
