Hangin’ Brains

Have you noticed that scary bedtime stories are no longer in style? Scaring your children into good behavior is not quite as acceptable as it once was, and parents today are left with the daunting task of finding something, anything, to make our children behave. When we can’t scare them with Boogey Monsters living under [...]

Merry Christmas

I bought Teddy Bear some generic nose strips for him to try out and I believe the man is addicted to the amazing tree-like formations that appear like magic, grown from his very nose. I’m jealous, because for some reason my nose does not create the grand red redwood forests that most noses produce. Only [...]

Double Take and Spoiler Alert

As usual, I am probably the last person on Earth to notice this…however I just cannot let it go. I was in another part of the US when I saw “Old Yeller” dog food in a Kroger grocery store. Is there something about a rabid dog that you end up shooting that spells “Yummy dog [...]

Fuck YEAH!

Guess who got admitted to California State University, San Marcos’ Multiple Subject Teaching Credential Program starting January 2008?

Quote of The Day

It’s okay to cuss at video games.

Guess What?! I’m Back Home!

Chicken has problems with writing and sixth grade is forcing us to do something about it. I have met with his Language Arts teacher and her advice is “He just needs to learn how to do it, you can’t graduate from high school without passing the writing exam.” So helpful, that one. Because my ultimate [...]

Fucking Chicken

I was talking to Teddy Bear on Gmail chat today and he said that Chicken’s earthquake building was completed and sent to school today. Chicken’s science class was doing a segment on earthquakes and the students had to attempt to create buildings that were earthquake proof. Chicken named his building: “Yule Soone Dye” My kid [...]

Oh Lordy!

Please see my new post about MFA Mama here. I am fairly sure that I would like to be shot now. When I initially scheduled my visit to Doolittleville, USA it was to hang with my Cooter Pal (Teddy Bear coined that very special nickname) and to accompany her to Big University Hospital. This trip [...]

Seriously, What The Fuck

“Just a drunk Indian from New Mexico!” hollers a…um…drunk Indian from New Mexico, I suppose. He has been wandering around the terminal in Phoenix, batshit crazy enough that I report him to airline officials when he threatens to “Beat the fuck out of him, ” referring to a man waiting for his luggage. He really [...]
