MLM has summer holidays and it's driving me up the wall. A movie seemed like a good way to get him to climb other walls outside the home. And because it's his summer vacation I'll keep it short. Barring the creation of the Boovs where Jim Parson's Sheldon Cooper-manner of talking, albeit with grammatical errors,... Continue Reading →
7 Degrees of Blondeness
My father sends me a lot of forwards. And when I say a lot I mean a lot. And I used to be the Queen of Forwards once upon a time. But some of his forwards are truly entertaining. Like this one. Read on and chuckle! I particularly LMAO'ed on #6. Enjoy- FIRST DEGREE A... Continue Reading →
Mirthful Mondays
Who said Mondays are all about moaning and groaning about the weekend ending? Well..I haven't said it yet. But the day's young and my kid will be back from school in a few hours so I have time to make up my quota of Monday moans. In the interim, here are some funnies that I... Continue Reading →
Movie Reco: The Godfather
My whole family's been under the weather after the offspring got a bug back from school. With long periods of imposed bedrest there's hardly any time before your mind commands you to watch a movie, or 3. Well in my case no movie is ever watchable at a stretch when my kid is around, so...

The Importance Of Dumb Stuff In Life

I guess the pumpkin reminded... Continue Reading →
The Apartment Turns A Year Old
We will be completing a year in the new place or in the "new house" as MLM still calls it. He's very clear it isn't 'home' but the new house but I know it's become home for us all. I took the longest to settle in of the three of us. Red and the brat... Continue Reading →
Partial Year-End Review
2014 has been an interesting year by all accounts. We settled into a new place. I screamed at people who didn't deliver on the specified timelines. A LOT. We've seen the brat learn more and shock/surprise/amuse (take your pick) us to no end! We've caught up with family on important occasions after a long while.... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Heroes of Olympus- The Blood of Olympus
i I prebooked the Kindle edition of way back in February and have been waiting for it ever since. The previous installments of the Heroes of Olympus were pretty great and Riordan had built up the momentum beautifully. It wasn't as gripping as the Percy Jackson series but it was pretty damn captivating none the... Continue Reading →
The Perils of Callow Youth
I don't know what has changed me more: growing up didn't do much but becoming a parent sure did. And hearing about what goes on in the world around us on a daily basis is one shocker after another. This post may make me sound over the hill and preachy but it still stands because... Continue Reading →
