Dance for me, gypsy 2008-07-17 01:30:01 This amuses me. I want to join this ragtag group of misfits and play a scrub board or blow on a jug. Maybe tingle the triangle.Dance

Monkeys walk upright 2008-07-16 16:10:22 I think the title says it all. Or perhaps you require a video? He walks! from Sarah Porter on Vimeo.YAY, AMOS!!!!!He took his first steps last night. Just small, tentative steps. Then, today I held his hand and let him go across the room, exactly the way that is shown in the video. Except, I didn't catch it on video. So, technically the video is of Amos' second sashay across th Read more:Monkeys
Five stars for Edna Turnblatt 2008-07-11 18:09:26 Well, at least that's what Amos thinks. Amos has decided that the greatest movie of all time is the John Travolta version of Hairspray. I watched it one day, and the little man started groovin' and a shakin' to the sounds of Negro Day (that's part of the movie, not me being racist). It's apparent that somewhere deep inside, my boy has soul.And he gotta let you know. Groovin' to H Read more:stars
Seeking cold pockets of joy 2008-07-10 13:24:38 Ugh. The dog days of summer. The time when I curl up under a single sheet on the bed, flailing this way and that to find a cool spot on the mattress. Bleah. At times like this, I would like to be amphibian. Or reptile.It hasn't been discussed, but we may have officially given up on watering the lawn. Denver is incredibly dry this year, and our poor pseudo-lawn and xeriscape plants have suffe Read more:Seeking
Break the skin 2008-07-05 23:40:02 Before you all soil yourselves from the rage I spewed the other day, I apologize. It was therapeutic, though. Very helpful. Scream and rant sometime. Quite cleansing.We've had various family activities to keep us occupied during this holiday. Thursday, we sat in the park and listened to the Colorado Symphony play patriotic songs. I shed a tear or two during the salute to the armed forces. I Read more:Break
I did some Wonder loaf 2008-07-30 15:32:49 Oh, buddy. Do I have a treat for you.The fabulous Suzanne, my sistah from anuthah muthah, shared this ditty with me in a comment way back yonder, and I just can't help but share it with you.FRIGGIN' HILARIOUS, my peeps!Almost as funny as this. Maybe.I loves me some Joe Cocker, I tell you what. He is spastically beautiful... to me (can't you see -ee -eee -eee?). This video is so beautiful and
Loud and bawdy 2008-07-26 15:47:52 A conversation with Phil prompted me to share this ditty with you.What is the worst song ever made? Really think about this. There are some fantastic crappers out there. Some songs might be catchy, but the lyrics are awful and downright hysterical. Some didn't even try to be catchy. Just awful.Phil's choice: "Naughty Naughty" by John Parr. Do you remember that one? It's even sillier when
Bang your head 2008-07-25 16:15:51 I guess I should start by asking, how the heck are ye? I know I've been absent. I've been concentrating on getting my life under control, and that doesn't always include blogging. Look for updates, perhaps even a side-shoot blog here and there in the future. How exciting!Anyhoo...Last night we attended a free concert at Cheesman Park. The concert was a lovely offering from The Colorado Sympho
Citizen Porter, at your service 2008-08-15 19:00:57 Yesterday, I performed acts of kindness. I volunteered.Now, technically, this is my first time volunteering as an adult. One of my first experiences as a volunteer was traumatic and fairly hilarious. We'll get to that later in the post, shall we?Part of my volunteering yesterday was out of sheer selfishness. I wanted tickets. I wanted to see Barack Obama and all of the people who will give sp Read more:Citizen

Random Sunday 2008-08-10 17:22:10 I'd make that a meme, but I'm too lazy.Here are various thoughts running around in my head that could be blogs on their own, but I'm too lazy to explore the details of each one. Consider this blog a light read for the bathroom.We're disappointed in John Edwards. We liked him as a candidate. Now it turns out that he slept around behind his sick wife's back. For shame, John Edwards. For shame. Read more:Random

Comedy is now defined as "morose" 2008-08-08 01:01:23 Ugh. UGH. Did I mention ugh?Just watched "Last Comic Standing." I don't know why we tortured ourselves with that slop. I can't (yet I can) believe that the dopey Iliza Shlesinger won.I'm floored, America.Why would you vote for the unfunny? Why is un-comic your choice? How is Dane Cook with tits your candidate?

Shimmy shimmy shrinking doodley-ooo 2008-08-07 15:50:47 No, I have no idea what that means.I have news! News that strikes me as being important! News that you won't care about but should pretend that you do!I, my friends, have lost 10 pounds. Yes! Ten whole pounds of fat and shame. I'm on a diet, and it is working slowly but surely. Some days have a little loss, others I get a whopper of a drop. I'm encouraged and ready to find the MILF in me.
Making love in the butt 2008-08-04 00:25:45 I'm on a music kick lately. An odd one, I might add.Do you remember those days as a kid when you didn't know what the heck some singer was emoting about in a song? What the Chuck Dickens is that dude saying?! Stick my arm in a machete of love? What?!I found a blog none too recently that discussed the "Wrapped Up Like a Douche" phenomenon. What is that, you ask? Well, many (and I mean MANY) p
Sarah Palin doesn't represent THIS Sarah 2008-09-04 20:58:45 I responded to a blog today that invited opposing views on the issue of Sarah
Palin and her potential as VP. Here is what I wrote, with lots of additions.I have a great deal of respect for people of various beliefs and political persuasions. That is how I have been able to maintain friendships with various people I don't agree with - respect. However, I have a lot of frustrations over the curren

Yo momma so poor she saw Obama for free 2008-08-22 01:52:05 Yeah. You heard me.What a strange day.I have a job.What?!Yeah. A job. Sort of.I became a guide at ChaCha yesterday. They had me waiting and agonizing for 15 days over whether I had passed the tests or not. I saw countless people approved ahead of me while I languished.It's not the best paying gig, but it's kinda fun. People ask questions, and ChaCha answers. It's like a Magic 8 Ball of text Read more:Obama
Mama of the Mile High, at your service 2008-08-20 11:47:31 I have yet another redirect for you today. Did you see the one from yesterday? The one where I launched Imaginary Shrinky? Well, then GO!(There's a new post over there today.)Next announcement...Drum roll, please.* rat a tat tat, rat a tat tat *Today's featured guest writer on Mile High Mamas is none other than yours truly!Woo!

Ladies and gentlemen, Imaginary Shrinky 2008-08-19 22:38:15 It's time to unveil the blog I've withheld for so long.Drum roll, please...*rat a tat tat, rat a tat tat*Ahem.I would like to introduce my new, snazzy, fancy place:Imaginary

And... here we go again. 2008-09-20 20:29:40 It's easy to assume that when I have big gaps of time between blog posts, the shit is hitting the fan.You'd be right if you were thinking that as of late.I will be in Texas tomorrow. Texas. Again. Ugh.My mother was just diagnosed with ovarian cancer. I don't know the stage or any of that just yet. She'll have her first chemo treatment on Monday.I'll be in Texas for x amount of time. I'm stay
Step right up and kiss the bacteria 2008-10-05 14:25:49 I come to you in Dial-Up-O-Vision. It will take 5 thousand years to write this and post it, but gosh darn it, that's exactly how much time I have out here in the middle o' nowhere.So, yes. We did not attend the Unicorn fest. After I wrote the last blog, Phil and I decided to buy up some Rudy's BBQ (because it is DEEEEE-licious). On the way from Schlotzsky's to Rudy's, I noticed a Texas Med Cli
Smear the Volunteers 2008-10-03 15:54:30 That's what I'll be yelling tonight, if my kidneys cooperate.Or maybe I'll yell, "Get off the field, you pussy peace corp mutha effahs!"Tonight, perhaps, I will support the New Braunfels Unicorns (yes, Unicorns) as they smear the Lee High School Volunteers
. My urinary tract infection has possibly traveled to my kidneys, so I am sore and tender and not feeling my best. But, when faced with the op
Cheesecake is for children (aka, Hell... Hell is for Children) 2008-10-02 17:51:41 Dear Pat Benatar fans: You're welcome.So, yes. Another day in paradise. Ahem. We are stealing Internetz from Schlotzsky's Deli. The Buffalo Wild Wings place rebuffed us like the non-sports fans we are and denied us access to their free wireless Internet, so we were forced to come here. The pushy waitress tried to get Phil to order more beer. His response: "If you get the Internet working, Read more:Cheesecake

Tay in teh wheen 2008-09-27 14:11:19 If you've never seen the movie Nell, then you have no idea what my title means. If you have, then you are now laughing your arse off. (Well, you should, especially if you are me living an Amish lifestyle in the middle of nowhere. Easily amused, you dig?)Why am I saying "Tay in teh wheen"? Well, there's a big tree outside that sways in the wind, you dig? And Amos likes to point and laugh at it

Sleeve of secrecy 2008-11-04 15:37:13 Yes. Sleeve
of secrecy. I think that should be the name of the next Bond movie. It makes about as much sense as Quantum of Solace.What kind of measurement is a quantum of solace? Is it just shy of a quark? Is it a unit of cosmic plasma? Is it a futuristic measurment of time, just like in the original "Battlestar Gallactica" when they would say, "I'll be there in a centon."?I love the secrecy
Just another random Sunday 2008-11-02 19:08:03 I've spent the day kicking butt on Mob Mars via Facebook, and I suddenly realized, "Hey! I said I would write every day. ARGH!"So, in keeping with the commitment and seeing as I have not much to say right now, I'll throw this little ditty at you. Blame it on that lovely Inherent Passion chick who needs to establish some one-on-one Binky face time. (Make it so!)This is a meme, by the way. You prob Read more:Sunday
NaBloSoMoHos - one more time, with feeling 2008-11-01 13:57:12 Good grief. Here we go again. A cup of masochism, anyone? One lump or two?Recent events have indicated to me that I should start focusing a bit more on the creative side of my head. Happy Sarah is Creative Sarah. Creative Sarah equals writing a lot. Writing a lot, as it turns out, means happier blog stalkers.You're welcome.For this purpose, I have committed (not unlike "voluntarily" entering
It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! 2008-10-31 22:41:29 Or, it's Amos.Here is something so cute that you will literally die when you view this picture.Seriously. Get ready to be dead.And here's a smaller version of me hiding behind an even smaller person. I'm down 27 pounds and counting. Woo.Halloween was a hoot.

Wee ooh, Phil looks just like Buddy Holly... 2008-10-25 23:35:20 Oh oh, and I'm Mary Tyler Moore.Of course, this means I am in Lubbock, Texas. In the LaQuinta, next to none other than the BuddyHolly
statue that is a wee bit creepy and apparently means the world to the home town of said fellow. Forget Texas Tech University. Lubbock is all Buddy, all the time.What else does this mean?It means I am nowhere near San Antonio, and only hundreds of miles (heheh) a
Dear lover... 2008-10-24 21:58:12 Hi, Colorado. Do you miss me? I miss you. Mmm. What are you wearing? A turtleneck? Mmm. Sounds snuggly. I guess it's chilly up there. Mmm. I wish I was there to warm you up, Colorado. I'd put you between my lady pillows and hug you so tight. Mmm. I want to feel you, Colorado. Mmm. I want to feel you up gooooood.Oh.Um.Hi.So, Colorado, I'll be there soon. Sooner than you think. You Read more:lover
