The truth about Swamp Yankee Wannabes
I also blog at:
A thirty something tomboy gets a present from the stork: ...."We've also discovered that she will bring whatever is in her hands to her mouth. ...Mostly there's nothing in arm's reach to swallow, except mom's hair, which has been falling out in droves (another neat pregnancy trick). Do babies get hairballs?"....

Out with the Old

Today is the last day of 2007, and it is promising to be an interesting one. First of all, it's snowing, which I still maintain isn't all that fascinating, but what is interesting about this fact is that our tractor, which is what we us

I took my alien insect Swarm to work yesterday, proving incontrovertibly that there is a kid in all of us. Spotting it on my desk yesterday morning the Network Administrator grabbed the control and asked if he could just spin the rotors a littl

I was determined to have a nice Christmas at our house this year, the first Christmas for the Bundle.I hunted us up a Christmas tree and we decorated it, we bought presents, we bought food. Then we all got sick with the Super Baby Alien Cold an

So it snowed again yesterday, and while it is annoying to have to drive in the stuff, it still isn't really newsworthy, except that apparently it is . Moreover, it is causing all sorts of unprecedented problems here in the Granite State.&n

Now that I've whiled most of the week away, I think maybe I'll go to work.I haven't tried to use my voice yet this morning, but the last three days it hasn't actually worked. Lionel thought perhaps I was whispering to save my vo

Yesterday it took all of my will power and strength to drag myself into work. I had nothing left over and that's why there was nothing here: it's that kind of cold. Today I've decided not to drag myself into work, and therefor

Although I'm sure some of the more ignorant are probably looking to this year's "early" winter start here in New England as a sign that climate change isn't real , it's official: 2007 was the eighth warmest year on record.&
Ugh

I guess I spoke too quickly.. the Bundle's super-germ explosion has also reached me. Now all three of us are down for the count.We got snow last night, another six inches or so, hardly anything to write home about but which has everyone talking

Yesterday we had a company meeting, and among other joyous news pieces it was announced that for the rest of the year we could "dress down", or word for "casual".When I "dress down" I usually go all out, with ragged-ende

The Bundle is sick. And when the Bundle is sick, she's not happy, and when the Bundle ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.I have a sneaky suspicion I've used that line before.Anyway, somehow the Bundle was once again only able to in

Having studied humans from our most distant beginnings, digging up their remains and making educated guesses about what they were doing and thinking at the time, to now, going about my life and observing the people around me, I've long since come

Somehow it is December 10th. Wasn't it just August a week ago?It's sleeting or something outside, but I can't tell for sure exactly what because even though it is quarter to seven it is dark as Hades outside. Partially because

A college friend of mine just emailed me with this quote she knew I'd get a kick out of. Apparently Senator Joe Biden, who is perpetually running for President of the United States, blurted out this gem:"A very attractive woman -- looked li

Good morning, fellow virtual surfers. How are the waves today?For some reason not entirely clear to me, this particular week has lasted about a month, and according to my computer's time clock it still isn't over yet. Yesterday mo

It's been snowing here in Washington.Whenever they forecast snow anywhere in the great State of NH, we here in Washington NH get it. It might not be snowing anywhere else but it will be snowing here. So the BIG BAD STORM which "p

Times were this place was Swamp Yankee Wannabes....and a dog . They were frantic, crazy times, but they were fun nonetheless. Then along came the Bundle and we became Swamp Yankee Wannabes....and a dog...and a baby . Those were even more
