What Is the Airspeed Velocity of an Unladen Swallow?

Posted in random, renn faire | Leave a comment
Lazy weekend this weekend, but on a lark we decided to head up to the Maryland Renaissance Festival for some Steak on a Stake, jousting, peasant wenches, drunkards and shirtless Celts in kilts. And a good time was had by all. (Even when it started pissing rain later in the afternoon.) We’ve taken the kids to it before, but this was the first year I think they both sorta got something out of it. Last year, Lucy really wasn’t quite sure what was going on, but this time around she figured it out pretty quick. And once both kids stopped whining about wanting to buy something every 2 booths, it worked out pretty well…though, I’m the biggest sucker when it comes to these sorts of places. “You mean, you want that shiny dagger and matching gorget?  Can Mommy borrow it? Sure!” But what the hey, I had a little extra cash… Read more

And a Big Fat WTF?

Posted in random, soup fail, wtf | 5 Comments
Lipton Soup, I’m afraid I’m going to have to think about giving you up.  It’s clear to me now that you’ve been seeing other people behind my back. And the evidence is inside you. But a goldfish?  Seriously? Do you have any idea how heartbreaking it is to be slurping away at your one-billion-milligram-of-sodium-per-spoonful goodness, just to be confronted by a flat and nasty looking goldfish cracker?

Random Things

Just thought I’d mention today that I am a bit of a pen freak. I love them.  The weirder the better – Hello Kitty, light-up pens, pens with goofy shit hanging off of them, whatever. I’m particularly fond of gel pens…especially the ones with sparkles or glitter in the ink.  Who knew I was such a girly girl?  (And apparently Lucy has picked up on this, as she immediately made for the big box of shiny gel pens when we went out school shopping for Connor.  And yes, I bought them.) Also randomly, a big fat boo to Dell for sending me a replacement monitor that was worse than the one I have.  Now I have to hang at home for *another* day (Wednesday) for the second one to be delivered…and best of all, I have to arrange pickup for two.  *eyeroll* Bah.  I’m going to go back to reading… Read more

Lovely Listings

Posted in random, wtf | Leave a comment
You know, being that I’m totally trapped in my house due to the market tanking, I do find this site horribly funny. And maybe a little sad.  I can’t help but wonder if these houses ever sold. I mean, really, who the hell puts a dead dog on a dresser on a house they’re trying to sell?? https://lovelylisting.com… Read more
