I checked my blog’s value today at Business Opportunities Weblog and discovered it’s worth all of $0.00 US (or about $5,000,000 Canadian). Kind of dispiriting. Or would be, if I bothered to update this thing on a regular basis. Now I have an excuse to ignore it. Speaking of ignoring, I got a call from […]
It’s been a while. I’ve said that before, haven’t I? I have an excuse this time. Really! The dog ate my homework. No, that’s my daughter’s excuse. Mine? I ended up stuck in Chicago for a few months this summer, then couldn’t get back into the swing of blogging. Words piled up, but I was […]
It’s official: The boy-child is done with chunderfest. Now it’s the girl-child’s turn. Y’know, I really don’t enjoy watching little people puke. So, my last few days here are pretty exciting — work, clean up puke, work, dream of sleep. Related Images:
Day 5 of the pukefest, but it looks like things have finally calmed down. Ugh, too tired to think. Related Images:
What a great start to the day! The boy-child woke us at three with a round of projectile vomiting (great game — I recommend everyone play). Since then, he’s puked pretty consistently every fifteen minutes. Not so much fun now that it is only dry heaves, but at least I now get to wash every […]
Sunny day, kids gone wild. I can hear the boy-child screaming with delight and charging about several room over. the “Wheeeee!” THUD! can only be the sounds of him leaping from the couch. The occasional staccato of small pieces of something bouncing along the floor after him is hopefully just a toy he has dropped […]
My family and I are herpetoculturists, which is a fancy way of saying we keep reptiles and amphibians, not all of which have names. I prefer to think of it as having pet reptiles, as I always think of either lone and lonely middle-age balding white guys with few friends and fewer hygiene habits, yellow […]
It doesn’t pay to start work early around here. After my long commute from the bedroom out to the study, I plunk myself down in front of my monitor and try to get an early start. All systems go, I begin the daily despamming of my work email. A few minutes later though, I see […]
Ah, the joys of parenthood! This morning I awoke to the sounds of laughter, followed shortly by the angry voice of the girl-child: “Say you’re sorry!” “No!” Trying to be a bit more forceful, she uses a calmer, more determined sounding voice: “Aaron, say you’re sorry.” “No! Mo-ommm, dad! Help!” “say you’re sorry or I’ll […]
Two turkeys for Thanksgiving. Urgh. I feel the inspiration (or is that just indigestion?). I think that I shall never see a sight so lovely as a fridge without turkey . . . And so, as the day fades away, I hear the gentle trill of two small voices: “I am the evilest and meanest […]
