faulty vision
From the monthly archives: February 2009
I was watching old NewsRadio episodes in bed. My laptop has wireless and — gosh, I love Netflix.
“Bill McNeal’s such a wally,” the Guy said.
“What’s a wally?”
“It’s like a plonk.”
I glanced over at him. “What’s a plonk?”
There was a split second where I thought he was actually going to give [...]
The Guy has learned his parent skills from the oddest places.
Austin Powers, for instance.
“Waaaa–”
“Shht.”
I could hear them in the other room. Hobbes woke up at 1:10, and after almost an hour of rocking and feeding, showed absolutely no interest in going back to sleep. I crawled back into bed and buried [...]
There were 3 in the bed and little one said,
“Roll over, roll over!”
There were 2 in the bed and the little one said,
“Roll over, roll over!”
Quoth Baby Talk:
“Rolling over, a milestone that typically occurs between 4 and 6 months, signifies the first time your baby is able [...]
The Guy has often complained about his representation on my blog. Unreasonably, I think — I personally feel I give him fair representation, and that’s all anybody can really hope for, really: equable treatment from a just and truthful source — but that’s men for you. They have such odd notions in their heads, and [...]
I present you with a wholly gratuitous picture post.
And if you happen to be wondering why, well. Please refer to the post title. Any questions?
I haven’t been posting my thing-a-day projects because — well, I’m just lazy is all. Also, I have the attention span of a squirrel and forget to take pictures before I dismantle and recycle the end product. Still, for those of you who are wondering, I am still doing it!
I did happen to [...]
Belatedly, clicking the publish button when one’s done with writing is a good idea ….
I had a doctor’s appointment this morning, the first well check that I’ve had in a while. (“Well Check,” also known as “Well Visit,” for those of you who aren’t up-to-date on medical billing lingo, is basically your regularly scheduled [...]
The Guy is convinced he’s getting sick again.
“I would take Nyquil,” he said as I groveled under the bed, looking for my glasses, “but then I wouldn’t be helpful to you.”
I excavated myself from layers of dust and popped my head over the bed’s edge to stare at him. “Helpful with what?” I [...]
I was sitting in the executive meeting that I run on Thursdays when I realized I couldn’t remember where I’d put my pencil. I fished about in my jacket pocket and came up with the following:
Receipt from the library for overdues. $9 for Horatio Hornblower, which I didn’t even like.
A check for [...]
Hobbes was sulking about something.
“You’re tired,” I informed him, removing his diaper. He glowered at me. “You need to go to bed.” I lifted up his legs to slide his dirty diaper out from beneath him, and heard a prrrrrrrrpt! sound. Warm, stinky air puffed into my face. He’d farted on me.
“Charming,” [...]
I’m working on something else but it was taking too long … and I need to wash bottles.
So.
I am very Japanese sometimes, ya?
The little origami flowers from day 2? I made more of them. This is a combination of a circle of 5 and a circle of 6 in the middle and then a circle of 5. I joined them all together with a needle and thread, and this is the result.
There are easier ways to [...]
I spared very little time and thought for what I’d do tonight, due to a dinner party that is currently going on in the kitchen while I sit holed up in the bedroom.
As a result, this is what I came up with. Reverse engineering is about all I can do at this point; [...]
It is not easy to find time to do crafty things when you are kept up most of the night by an anxious baby, work a full day, then come home and have to clean the house before a dinner party on the morrow.
For the record, I never got around to cleaning the house.
