wm1398Duh. Of course River Song. Like that was a surprise.

Hi-larious.

I suppose it’s hard to spell “respect” when you don’t actually get any …

shine up my old brown shoes

What an incredibly awkward photograph.

I need to make Weasley sweaters for the offspring.

Ha!

“Why is the progressive’s first instinct to ban everything??” Exactly. Ban it, make a law, make a law banning it. How is that “progressive”??

Good grief.

God I hate Steely Dan.

I don’t think I like this. It would, however, make reading some non fiction more palatable.

“Find out what it takes to be a profesh photographer.” Well, first of all. Never call yourself a “profesh” photographer because someone will punch you in your hipster throat. I’m not saying that someone will be me. But I’m not not saying it either.

You know what never gets old? Cleaning snow off the car every single morning.

You know what else never gets old? People south of Ohio posting about how warm it is where they are.

This isn’t “justice“. This is redistribution of wealth. It encourages and promotes a perpetual welfare state. Taking away from someone who works hard for what they have to give to someone whom you decide deserves it more is not justice. It’s theft. It’s wrong.

Why do people say “drunk as a skunk”? I never would have thought skunks were such notorious imbibers.

I never would have guessed in a million years that that was Neil Gaiman. But it’s interesting that his most loved character is from a book I dearly loved as a child as well.

But. I don’t want to know Martha Stewart’s unique sex tips.

put on a brand new shirt

What an odd expression, “raring to go”. I love the English language.

I think you mean it’s a travesty of justice, not a travesty of injustice. You know, unless you were actually going for injustice.

*snort* Although, not technically a “selfie” …

I may be a nerd, but that doesn’t mean I have to care about pi day.

Yeah, it made me smile.

People still take shit posted on the Daily Kos seriously?? Whatever. This is a great ad. Even though that actor gives me the creeps. Always has.

Stop calling it “Healthcare Enrollment”. It’s not HEALTHCARE. It’s craptastic health INSURANCE.

Thanks, but I don’t think my bra needs its own “travel case”.

I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooo sleepy.

Ha. Yes.

Absolutely everything hurts.

Why is everyone always taking photos of macarons? What have they got against macaroons? Huh?

Neither of them look remotely appealing.

get home early from work

ENOUGH with the snow already. I canna take any more, Captain!

Sonovabitch!!! I am so tired of other people coming up with ways that they think I should be spending more money that I do not have to benefit THEM.

This is not a complicated process. Why is it so difficult for you to follow???

Ack! This is not looking good.

“Liberal social engineers may dream of a society where genders are exactly equal, but that’s nonsense. Men and women are different. We should celebrate that difference instead of claiming that women are victims.” YES!!!!

Hmmm. I don’t like her. Not a bit.

I love lavender.

I don’t think you really read those at all.

if you say that you love me

I totally forgot what I was doing.

Postcards from Time and Space! swoon! That would be a good book title. Or album title. But it’s also 100 Doctor Who post cards in one beautiful blue box.

I object to the phrase “sister friend”.

I don’t have that much room.

Little gigantic Norwegian head.

American Judicial Process. God I hope it’s interesting. I can’t do another class where I can’t keep my damn eyes open. Of course I won’t be pregnant so that will help …

Argh. It helps if you read the right line, jentober.

Intriguing!

I’m going to be needing some stamps.

I need to sew these buttons on. I hate sewing buttons on.

Dammit. I had an idea. And it was really good. And I don’t know where I put it.

Stupid sleep deprivation.

didn’t i didn’t i didn’t i see you cryin?

I have eaten entirely too many Girl Scout cookies this year.

It’s all about the boundaries.

… and neither does my sister

wm1939Being a big sister is tough.

We got this great onesie from my friend Amanda. (Actually we have two of them, because I ordered one also.) It says “My mom doesn’t want your advice.” I told the Mister on Sunday that we need another one that says “My mom doesn’t want your advice, and neither does my sister.”

Miss W has been overjoyed about Stormageddon’s arrival from the very beginning. She cannot wait to be a big sister. She can’t wait to help out with everything (except diapers, she does not do diapers), to teach the new little one all about the coolest, grossest things in the world, to read stories, and go on adventures. She already knows Stormageddon is going to be so overwhelmingly CUTE she is going to just literally cry.

The problem is the getting there. Miss W is finding that all kinds of well intentioned adults have all kinds of well intentioned life lessons to teach her about being a big sister. What well intentioned adults don’t remember about being 10, is that all these well intentioned lessons come across as criticisms to a girl who didn’t know she was supposed to know these things. And why would she know these things?

So when a toddler gets his hands on a candle and W happens to be sitting nearby, maybe she doesn’t catch it. But maybe she has no idea she’s supposed to be keeping an eye on this toddler in a room full of responsible, well intentioned adults, because no one asked her to. When an adult points this instance out telling her she “will need to be paying attention to things like this and be responsible because she’s going to have to help her mom!” it comes across a little harsher than people intend. And maybe she doesn’t think about the fact that toddlers think differently than she does, so when she “shows” someone a toy and then takes it back, it isn’t her intention to be mean or to send the toddler into a meltdown. She’s just showing something off. But she’ll learn that lesson too.

There are so many things that well intentioned people have said, and it’s becoming just the tiniest bit overwhelming. People need to relax and give this phenomenal girl a chance to learn how to be a big sister as she goes. Stormageddon isn’t even here yet! Did any one of us get a manual on how to be sisters before our siblings arrived? Or parents for that matter! We know you mean well, but just like with new mothers, when tempted to offer unsolicited advice, perhaps you should instead consider biting your tongue. Please don’t take this personally. You shared with us, so we wanted to share with you.

Miss W is intelligent, kind, generous, and so full of love. Anything else can be learned along the way, just like the rest of us are doing. So thanks, well intentioned adults, but we don’t need your advice.

wm1413sick of the cynical

I’m so tired of people posting these memes that lump Detroit in with Chicago, New York, and DC as having some of the “strictest gun control laws in the country.” Detroit gun laws are the same as the entire rest of the state, which is an open carry, shall issue state. Research, people. It’s a Google click away.

This put a smile on my face.

What have I told you about passive aggressive bitchery? I believe I have told you to take it elsewhere.

Ha. Thunder Twister.

I dunno. That could be Jennifer Lawrence’s new thing. The Annual Oscar Fall.

Yeah, kinda loved the Benedict Cumberbatch photobomb. And that’s all I know about the Oscars.

Kind of hard to get excited about Annie Leibovitz’s book when it costs 3 grand. I could buy a car for 3 grand. Ridiculous.

I loooove these!

No, seriously, enough with the popcorn already.

I like hats.

stray animal farm

Breasts? Um no. You’re the only one seeing breasts.

somethin’ about you

I am writing a manual for my job. A monkey should be able to follow these directions. I bet there will still be people who look at it and say “Huh??”

I was just reminded of this site. So poignant. I wish I’d thought of it.

Whenever a politician says they are “cutting spending” it usually means the exact opposite. Because. You know. Words are just words and are TOTALLY interchangeable and stuff.

Oh my God I’m so uncomfortable.

I need one of those chiminea things.

admininistrative

oooooooh hoooooooo

You know what else I need? Everything on my Amazon Wish List. Yep. Need.

Aw Firefly cookie cutters! Cute! I almost never buy cookie cutters because I don’t actually like sugar cookies.

scratched your farewell couplet

I was going to make ginger bread cookies but I can’t remember what happened. I probably got exhausted just thinking about it.

Yes.

Ulysses S. Grant eh? Interesting. I sort of expected Andrew Jackson.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Hang it up, Norway.

“Have you ever been bitten by a turkey?” Seriously? Well, as it happens … These people know that birds don’t bite so much as peck, right? On account of they don’t have teeth. Which are kind of necessary for biting.

Ha. Kind of looks like you’re trying to hold a pistol while wearing an oven mitt. Poor MI.

Pathological.

I have a headache now. I really didn’t need that, thank you. You just take it back.

I like Harvest Cheddar Sun Chips. They are tasty.

are you alive? are you alive?

forgit it

Can we just stop “standing with” people now? That got old so fast.

I think Stormageddon needs one of these. Probably Miss W needs one in her size too.

I dunno. I may forever associate the symphony with morning sickness now.

What? I can still barely eat spaghetti thanks to that first pregnancy. And that was 10 years ago.

Body memory is looooooooooooong, fellow.

No, seriously. Can I just have everything in this shop?

Honestly. I don’t know what you’re doing, but you should buy something.

It’s just kind of disturbing. I’m sorry. That was not a good choice.

3 weeks, 6 days

Wow. 24 degrees outside! I actually had to turn off the space heater and take my sweater off!

Damn. This headache just escalated by eleventy for no apparent reason.

if so and so is so delightful

Ugh. So much static. The air is just too dry.

This stupid battery will not hold a charge.

And just like that, I’m sick of everything on the iPod again.

Sometimes I get the phrase “necrotizing fasciitis” stuck in my head for no apparent reason.

OK, over the Ellen “selfie” that she didn’t actually shoot. Moving along.

“They don’t sound like that! You’re a racist. Or an accentist! Or something like that! Yeah!”

OH MY GOD!!!!

No, I did not just try to put my sweater on upside down. Shut up.

Oh that smells nice. I haven’t worn that one in a while.

Ugh. Is there anything worse than swollen ankles? Oh. Wait. Yes. Yes, I can think of one thing that is worse. Way worse.

I miss my jeans. And t shirts.  A lot.

i’m lonely as the average sea

I love these. I wish they were a little less spendy.

I love all of these. Except Ronald McDonald. And the wax figures creeped me the hell out.

Why do they sell those separately? Why? It makes no sense!

No, really. What the hell happened to Prince?

refluxion

How many minutes?

I miss hot tea.

ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff – sigh. Guess I didn’t really need that knee anyway.

Um. OK.

WordPress doesn’t think exsanguinated is a word. WordPress doesn’t think WordPress is a word.

True Detective is the shit.

You know what’s irritating? The fact that Google+, a feature I absolutely do not want or need on my phone, that takes up 50 megs of space, cannot be removed. That’s really flipping irritating.

Apparently my mantra today is “We’ll take care of it.” Because apparently I have nothing but vast resources of time.

What’s this? Another winter weather advisory, you say? Ha!

Tilda Swinton. Yeah, right. LOL

These are incredible.

Oh, that phrase has a nice ring to it. “Tactical machete.”

I think the AZ law is stupid. BUT. I will say that I firmly believe that private business owners should retain the right to refuse service to whomever they choose for whatever reason they choose. Let the market decide if they should stay in business or not.

I should quit and go to trade school, learn how to weld. Well. I already know how to weld. Learn to do it professionally. Also, it’s been a while since I welded anything.

Wow. Daniel Radcliffe. Get a haircut. Now.

Just so you know, sonic screwdrivers are useless against zombies.

Sorry, Adele. I’m just not in the mood.

I can’t take the internet right now. I just want to smack some sense into every last one of them.

Yeah, no, I don’t think Pelosi actually said that. I think it was satire.

Why would you want someone who hates you to provide a service for you? Don’t you think you might get spectactularly bad service?

That quiz is dumb. You don’t shoot Scotch. Ever.

Wow, that was a long meeting.

Oooooooooh! Miss W will be so all over this.

Oh my God!!!! A massage!!!! I think I might actually cry. I’m so excited. I’m so happy.

Now you know this is just exactly the kind of business I would own. Make that should own.

That meeting would have been fine if super genius hadn’t decided to wander down the path of progressive fantasy land and claim that the beginnings of genocidal action are taking place RIGHT HERE IN THE U.S. RIGHT NOW in Arizona. Really, dude? You’re seriously going to make that claim with a straight face?

Sometimes I have to bite my tongue so hard I draw blood.

“We need money for aid. So let’s print it.” Ummm …

it wasn’t on fire

wm1414Miss W had 4H auction duties Saturday, so I snuck (not really) out of the little community center and across the street to shoot the abandoned service station. Happily, the door was wide open. Had there been any climbing, shimmying through lean spaces, or crawling, it would have been impossible right now. I’m pretty pleased with what I shot in there. I love exploring abandoned spaces, and it’s not something I get to do often (mostly because it’s more fun with a co-conspirator).
