Meme of 7
I got tagged by Steph! For an entertaining meme where I tell you 7 weird or random facts about me.
Steph approached this meme in a very interesting and fresh way — she picked 7 dates in the past and described what was going on in her life at that time: 35, 30, 25, 20, 15, […]

Another Year
Between my birthday, which was Sunday, and the end of the calendar year, I usually get all self-reflective. I think a lot about the things that worked, and didn’t work so well, over the last year, and about what I hope for in the year to come.
37 was a surprisingly eventful year:

Tee-Hee
I promise, there will be a real post by tomorrow morning.
In the meantime, here’s a very funny silly Internet quiz courtesy of Shelli. They didn’t have my absolute favorite alcoholic beverage (a toss-up between New Glarus Brewing’s Uff-Da Bock and their Wisconsin Belgian Red) but they had a mighty fine selection.

Best Parenting Moment So Far

Devout?
This morning, Noah had his usual “we’re leaving the choo-choos and going to school now” meltdown as I tortured him into his jacket and shoes.

Too Clever By Half. Also general updatification.
This morning, when I came out of our room after getting showered and dressed, Jill was working on changing Noah’s horrifying, scary, smelly, what-died-in-there? poopsplosion diaper.
I walked in to see a cookie disappearing into Noah’s mouth. This was something of a surprise, as we don’t allow cookies for breakfast.
Seeing my glance, Jill explained, “He found […]
