Hello Kitty

Kitten update: All four kittens are fat, healthy, and well into their ‘attack anything that moves — and then anything that doesn’t move’ phase. This coincides with the CLIMB ALL OF THE THINGS phase. My legs are covered in tiny puncture marks. As is the dog. The husband. All three kids, and our one huge tomcat (Booger) who has decided the swarmlings are not, in fact, minions of satan, as was his initial conclusion. He’s cool with them working him over until one of them chews an ear. Then his sense of humor takes a powder. In other news, the new office is at about 70%. One kid is sick, another… Read More

Thank God It’s Someday (NOT)

You know that one room in your house? The one that’s going to be your office “someday”? Right. Yes, we all have that room. The one where you look at all that lovely, open, unused space over the years, and you think “today is not that day” so everything accumulates in that space like sediment in a delta? “Someday” you’ll clean it out of there.

Sorry I’m a day late announcing this; I ended up being out of town much longer than expected yesterday, thanks to a short-cut that turned out to be a long-cut. (and you can be SURE that’ll end up in a book somewhere, someday. Oh, the stories I could tell…) Anyway… /clears throat We’re starting something new this month: a monthly giveaway. These are separate from any other giveaway we run here or on Facebook or anywhere else. These run all month long, every month. We even made a special page on the site for these special giveaways. Each month there’ll be a new prize up for grabs. For kickoff, we’re… Read More

Such Wow

Okay, so Mr. Silver is officially home, which is awesome. I was so excited to think that this morning I would be able to regroup, dig in and get some work done. Yeah. Mr. Silver hasn’t been home for more than a few days at a stretch in 14 months. Apparently, he has a long list of things he’d like to do around the house. All of which are noisy. o.O Halp.
