about me
married, mommy, BBW, poly, ornery, opinionated, cantankerous, whimsical, and generally all around faaabulous... ask anybody, they'll tell you

Oh, look! Conclusion Jumping! A classic olympic sport! I just might have to go get me some popcorn.

I don't like snuggling with people I've only just that minute met. A lot of folks that I've know... read more

Potato Barrel (in Backyard Garden Survivalists)
Does anyone out there know a great website or book describing how to do a potato barrel? I'd rather not use tires, I am thinking about wheeled trash cans, actually.

What First? (in Backyard Garden Survivalists)
Pretend you've just moved. You're in a new place, with not much in the way of supplies or gardens set up yet.

Where would you start? What would your To Do list look like?

I'm asking because I'm getting more serious and I don't know what ... read more

Blatherings of An Internal Critic

www.earthhour.org/user/cXJV

Global warming. Climate change. Pollution. The ozone layer. It's all pretty damn big. Bigger than one person can do anything about. It's scary, too.

I don't care what your politics are or what your religious leanings are, I think we all want to do better on and for the planet. I've signed up. I'm pestering one of my city commissioners about getting my city behind it, too.

It's one way to help. It's easy. It's free. Click the link, read th... read more

So, the husband is remodeling the kitchen. It's all good, I'm going to have a lot more efficient use of the space when he's done. However, it's just him and it's taking time. The living room is piled with old cabinets and plastic bins full of cookware and stuff and nothing is easy to find right now. Everything is higgedly piggedly, and cooking is something of an adventure.

We have a dog. A 100 pound black lab mix. He's mostly a good dog, with a pleasant personality, but he is convinc... read more

Sometimes I feel sort of old for this Tribe thing. LiveJournal, too. So, yesterday, when someone mentioned Eons to me, I decided to check it out. It turns out that they have an actual lower age limit of 50. I'm not old enough. Remarkable.

When I was picking Braden (7 years old, 2nd grade) up from school Friday, this happened.

Mrs. K came out of the door, towing Braden by the wrist. She said something about having to make sure he didn't run off. This makes sense, because he often does run off, as soon as he sees me. Unless I have exchanged glances or discussion with his school grownup, I always send him back in to tell them that I'm there. Unexpectedly missing children are very upsetting.

Braden did not look happy.
