No title

Little Bug, You would have been five today. Five. It’s hard to believe that it has been so long since I was wearing unattractive maternity shirts and laying for hours in a hospital bed waiting for you to get here. I loved you right from the start. My little man with bright red hair. Your dad was pretty nuts [...]


Sideblog:Blogging business cards for BlogHer
2008-06-06 16:41:42
Are you going to BlogHer? If you are, you definitely need to bring business cards for your blog. You will meet hundreds of people and I am sure by the end of the trip your brain will be transformed into mush and remembering people’s names and urls will be an almost impossible feat. So? Have a [...]

Dress rehearsals, thank you’s, “bluve”, and BUSYNESS
2008-06-10 02:13:53
Thanks for all the amazing, lovely emails and comments regarding my little bug. I “BLUV” you ALL. (Thanks, Backpacking Dad. You are all kinds of awesome for inventing that term.) For his birthday, we took the boys to see Kung Fu Panda (AWESOME) and Iron Man (Also awesome, although not QUITE as awesome as the [...]


Which way do YOU hang the toilet paper?
2008-06-11 01:31:29
Do you hang the toilet paper with it hanging over the top or so that it comes down the back next to the wall? Because even though I went THIRTY-THREE YEARS on the earth not giving a damn about it one way or the other, since I moved into this new house it TOTALLY MATTERS [...]


Whatev…
2008-06-12 01:00:42
No, that title is not a misspelling on my part. Apparently, this is my son’s new “Cool phrase”. I told him at lunchtime that he had to eat the rest of his salad, and he looked at me, rolled his eyes and said, “WhatEV”. Whatev? WhatEV??! Dude. He turns 12 in two months and I thought I would have [...]


Sideblog: I’m just glad to be nominated
2008-06-11 13:25:09
I got an email from Angella informing me that we were both nominated nominated for a bloggity award. I hadn’t heard of it but it was cool to see a bunch of bloggity friends nominated for different things. My category puzzles me slightly as I landed in the “Most artistic” category. I am not really sure [...]


Looking for advice. Blog comments, stats, ranks, and wondering how to deal (or not) with them.
2008-06-16 12:34:03
I could use some advice, peeps. I’m in a quandary involving this here blog and time and balance in general. I’m trying to juggle my life and this place is suffering for it. I feel bad about that because this blog and you are VERY important to me. I can say [...]

Sideblog: Looking for autism blogs
2008-06-17 14:01:22
I have a good friend who has a 6-year-old with autism. He wrote and asked me if I could find or recommend any blogs, message boards, communities that deal with autism. He is looking for advice and some emotional support from other parents that are raising autistic children. I could Google all of this for [...]


Blah, blah, blah…(Hey, it’s 1:00 in the morning. You REALLY expect me to come up with some witty or relevant post title? GOOD. We’re all on the same page, then.)
2008-06-18 02:02:10
Thanks for the bloggity advice, everyone. I think that I have come up with some good ideas to see if they balance my life a little better. I’m sorry if it came off as whining…just know that I am damn grateful to be read by so many. In a lot of ways this is [...]

Want to elicit screams of rapture and joy from your children?
2008-06-27 01:09:21
Tell them that you have tickets for the earliest matinée of Wall-E on opening day. (I actually think I’m more excited than they are.) **Edit** I FREAKING LOVED IT. Any robot that is enamored with Hello, Dolly! is totally awesome in my book. Go see it! (And, NO. There is no cool thing at the end, so don’t wait [...]


Sideblog:Happy Birthday, friend!
2008-06-26 12:29:21
To Karen on her birthday. You are a inspiration to me. (I know. It’s cheesy. Hey, I could have broken out into a rendition of “Wind Beneath My Wings”, so consider yourself lucky.) You are an awesome friend . I hope your birthday rocks and I can’t wait to see ya. Happy Birthday !

Home again, home again to buy a fat pig (or whatever)
2008-06-26 12:07:10
I am home. Yay! The mechanics got my car fixed yesterday by closing time and so I was able to get home in time to have dinner with my family and get everyone (including myself) tucked into bed.  Finally. The best news of all is that the total bill came to $275 instead of $900.  It turns out [...]

Sideblog:Blogher business cards
2008-06-25 14:33:46
Question for those attending BlogHer or those who have attended in the past. How many business cards are you ordering? I’m way behind on ordering (you know, because of that whole pesky CAR SUCK issue I’ve had this week) and need to get this done. 100? 200?  What?


Packing skillz. (I don’t have them.)
2008-06-24 17:07:08
When I went to England and Scotland last year with my friend Michelle, we were polar opposites in terms of packing.  Her suitcase was a thing of BEAUTY-streamlined, well organized, and she packed the perfect amount of things. Yup, that Chelly is a lean, mean, packing machine. I, on the other hand, ended up lugging around a carry [...]


The road less traveled? (Somehow I really don’t think that this is what Frost had in mind.)
2008-06-23 14:07:12
What was supposed to be a quickish trip to drop off my nephew and see some bloggity friends became a trip fraught with difficulty and awfulness due to a broken down car. I had to drive 30 miles an hour on the freeway and even though I had my hazard lights on I was screamed [...]

Thanks to Jon Deal and Sarahbellum, I finally watched the series finale of “Friends ”. I’m kinda slow. (OMG! She got off the plane!!!)


Opening night!
2008-06-20 01:55:09
Opening night of Thoroughly Modern Millie went really well. There were a couple of things that I wish went a little better vocally, but for being nervous, singing in a completely foreign style than anything I have done before and having so few rehearsals, I think I did ok. I manged to not to [...]

Sideblog: Cold Sores before BlogHer. BOO!
2008-07-11 15:54:11
Cold sores are developing just in time for BlogHer. Nothing says, “You REALLY want to get to know me” like herpes. Yay.


Um, okaaaaaaaay. I guess it’s fine as long as it doesn’t develop into some oedipal complex thing…
2008-07-10 18:18:00
I was walking with my family in the store after making birthday purchases for the boys. Their birthday’s are a month apart so they are both getting new bikes and “Rock Band” for the wii. On the way out of the store, James was walking beside me. He made an over-exaggerated yawn, stretched and [...]

My dad is out of surgery. His heart stopped twice but he is ok. Over all recovery will take months and then, yup. More surgery. Thank you for everything. I turned comments off on the previous post, but honestly…The words you sent have helped. Thank you for understanding it is not so much [...]

*Six hours into my dad’s surgery (twice what we thought it would take) and there is still no word. I know, not much of an update but I am going crazy and had to do SOMETHING. And? Yes, I still feel pretty much as shitty as when I wrote this post. I bet [...]

Hey, Jealousy. (Of the blogging kind, of course.)

Things Loralee needs to have tattooed on her forehead
2008-07-28 12:29:19
Hello, Looney Tunes Bloggityworld! This is Loralee. Or rather, I should say that this is the tiny segment of Loralee’s mind that represents logic, rationality, and balance. (Yes, I know that I don’t talk a lot here. I SAID I was tiny, ok?) Loralee has had a bit of a rough go of [...]


The things my husband says…
2008-07-26 01:29:52
“Who are you texting so late?” “My friend, Jon Deal. He’s trying to cheer me up because there is no damn Diet Coke on tap anywhere in the state of Washington. Oh, and because I lost 41 subscribers after posting those photos of me making out with half of BlogHer. I’m trying to get him to [...]

I made out at BlogHer and I can’t even use, “I love Jesus, but I drink a little” as an excuse. *Edited. Which means that the other half of the photos I uploaded actually show up now.
2008-07-24 04:15:54
To answer a question to the curious: I didn’t drink at BlogHer because I don’t drink. I did have a wee bit of a “Drinking phase” after my son died and I went inactive from the Mormon church. (Because when many of us Mormons go inactive we run around like crazed idiots a smokin’ and [...]

I’m still trying to get stuff together for my trip (and still drowning). I found out that I will be in Kent if anyone in the area wants to try and say hello and grab a bite to eat or something.  I’m not sure we can get it to work, as details of this trip have [...]

Planning two vacations back-to-back is not the best idea I have ever had.
2008-07-22 15:41:02
Today has basically been the equivalent of me sucking my thumb and rocking back and forth in the corner. Did I mention that I am sucking my thumb and rocking back and forth in the corner on top of a big ass pile of dirty laundry? Because I am. In about 24 hours I am supposed [...]
