Moronic things I’ve done this week: I spilled half a smoothie in the hallway, far enough down the hallway that the stain cannot clearly be attributed to me, but moronic nonetheless. And yes, I did my best to scrub the skim milk out of the…

Today: Read on Memory Lane
We are compiling a list at work, featuring our “must read” books for kids, inspired by our own literary childhoods. With Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs (one of my all-time favorites) and Where the Wild Things Are hitting the theatres, now’s a great time…

Today: Wrap it up

Today: Pack in some excitement!
Our moving plans are sort of in limbo, but I know it’ll get worked out eventually. In the meantime, I will continue to waste away the hours by cutting beers out of paper and personifying them with word bubbles. And then, I will pack up…

Today: Get ship-faced.
UPDATE: Visiting the Tall Ships at Charlestown’s Navy Yard was a great deal of fun. Added some photos from the excursion. Enjoy! I do love a pun. This is embarrassing, but once I watched the E! True Hollywood Story about rappers’ wives (or was it…
