Sideblog:Absence fallout 2008-07-22 02:51:32 Being gone for five days takes a toll on the cleanliness of my house.
Right now it resembles a frat house after a big kegger, only without the beer bottles and panties strewn about and people sleeping it off in the bathtub.
Sidblog: Waiting at the airport for hours does have its downside 2008-07-21 01:32:16 So there was one downside to my whole weekend. Waiting
a really long time for my flight home. I have a little letter to sum up the experience.
To the guy sitting three seats down from me who will not stop strumming his guitar and singing while waiting for his plane:
You are not [...] Read more:airport
Sideblog: Enter to give someone special a $20,000 THANK YOU! 2008-08-12 14:51:28 At BlogHer, the box of Merci chocolates I received was MY FAVORITE SWAG. Yup, they even beat out the headset and the three-plug strip. I could have consumed boxes and boxes by myself and almost shed a tear when I ate the last piece.
It was THAT GOOD.
Merci is running the most amazing [...]
Sideblog: One thing I learned from going without my reader? 2008-08-12 01:01:57 I have a lot of broken/bad links on my linky love page.
Blah.
If you’re reading this and want to save me some time, click on yours and see if it’s working. If not, I’ll be making my way through the list and fixing it as I go along.
Deleting my Google Reader: The good, the bad, and the (possibly) ugly. 2008-08-11 01:01:45 This weekend, the unimaginable happened.
I deleted my Google
Feed Reader
.
ON PURPOSE.
I have been pondering this decision for a long time. It’s been jumbled up in conversations that I have with myself regarding balancing my life and the internet. You know which conversations I am referring to. They are very like the conversations that you have [...] Read more:Deleting

Sideblog:WTF? 2008-08-09 17:38:18 We pulled into our garage late last night after a long, lovely evening spent at a friend’s wedding.
And?
Our garage door fell off.
FELL OFF.
Shit.
Sideblog: The thing that sounds “Yum” 2008-08-05 16:41:40 Ok, so one thing sounds good to eat.
Like, really good.
THESE.
And thanks to Gretchen the FABULOUS and her Granny’s recipe, they are arriving by mail on Thursday.
How the hell did I get so lucky, again?
Beef. It’s what’s for dinner. 2008-08-04 16:01:30 And?
I couldn’t care less about it.
Nothing sounds good. Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zero.
I have no appetite.
It’s been this way for over 3 weeks now.
Food and eating is a bit of a bother. (If you know me at all, you know what a statement THAT is.) My palate is throwing a mother [...]

Yes and No 2008-08-28 01:03:12 Quite a few of you knew via Twitter that I had an audition for an upcoming project that I was very nervous and excited about.
For those who are new here, you need to know that while I am an ok blogger, it’s not even close to my best talent.
I am an excellent and experienced singer.
(Please [...]
Sidebar:I probably should have posted this on a Monday 2008-08-27 01:11:48 I needed to laugh today.

Sideblog: Inappropriate Stumble Upon tag 2008-08-25 10:54:04 All right, y’all…
Who stumbled my post about man cleavage under the tag PORNOGRAPHY?
It’s not cool, yo. I appreciate the stumble, I REALLY DO, but I don’t want my site under a porn tag, ok?
Since it’s not porn, I’d REALLY appreciate it if you’d fix it.
(I did send a report but I really would prefer [...]
5 things everyone should know about man cleavage 2008-08-25 01:14:23 1. MAN CLEAVAGE IS JUST WRONG.
Let’s be crystal clear on this point, shall we?
Man cleavage is wrong, wrong, wrongity-wrong!
Why, you ask?
Well, let’s start with a little visual illustration, shall we?
While I am only 23.7% lesbian, I think cleavage is hot. ON A WOMAN. Ideally, it is supposed to be creamy and lovely and not remind [...] Read more:things

I feel like a horrible mother today. 2008-08-23 15:37:45 I know that people will probably tell me that I am being too hard on myself after they read this.
Logically?
I know that, I do.
The thing is?
Sometimes being a parent and all the emotions that come with it are anything BUT logical.
Especially when you are trying to be the parent of a child who [...] Read more:mother
Sideblog: What would you do? 2008-08-22 10:28:41 A friend of mine just started an anonymous blog so she could write about some deeper things with freedom (and I am glad she did). She writes about some pretty foul behavior happening at her husband’s place of employment about a physically and slightly mentally disabled girl.
The trickiest and worst part? The [...]
Sideblog: Grade your website 2008-09-15 23:24:59 I found this great tool online today and had to peep up to share.
To quote the site, “Website Grade

Thanks 2008-09-12 14:27:12 Dear super fantastic bloggity people,
I wish I had adequate words for the thanks I feel at all the love that has been surrounding me.
I am ok. I didn’t mean to freak people out with that post nor leave up something so depressing for so long. I also didn’t (and still don’t) want to make a [...] Read more:Thanks
Silence 2008-09-08 00:00:43 Sometimes words are too small for things that are just…too big.
My primary thought about the election 2008-09-05 15:31:31 You know what?
EITHER way this election turns out, HISTORY WILL BE MADE.
And that?
Is effing cool.
That is all. Read more:thought
Sideblog: Your porn screen name? 2008-09-03 23:48:49 Apparently, there’s a thing where you are supposed to create a “Porn screen
name” by combining the name of your first childhood pet with a street you lived on as a kid.
Um…I figured mine out:
“ICK SOUTH”
Dude.
Between that and the copious amounts of cellulite on my body, I have a sneaking sucspicion that I would probably [...]
Letting down my state one craft project at a time 2008-09-02 00:00:00 As most of you are aware, I live in Utah.
Utah is the land of many things: Jello, weddings, big families, food storage, skiing, Mormons, The Sundance Film Festival and crafts. Lots and lots of crafts.
I mentioned that Utah has some big families in it, right? Mine is no exception. I am the youngest of six [...] Read more:Letting
Sideblog: Hurricanes n’ stuff 2008-09-01 01:00:39 To everyone who is facing a hurricane:
I hope you are well, I hope you stay safe. I hope that your belongings and homes stay intact.
Just don’t die, ok?
It would totally bring the vibe of the blogosphere down.

Sideblog: The end of an era 2008-08-31 17:14:53 One of my favorite things came to an end today.
I have been reading the Canadian comic strip, For Better or Worse, since I was about 8 and today was the last strip.
It is the only “Real time” comic strip out there, I believe. Lynn Johnson is amazing. She started the strip with the main characters, [...]

Fight. 2008-10-06 23:10:33 You may have noticed that the post that I posted on Sunday with our family photos has been taken down.
It because my husband is very unhappy about a photo I used. For those that saw it it was the one I published of him playfully groping me. I thought it was hilarious and funny, he [...]
