I padded down the carpeted steps, pausing on the landing to absorb the lavender light pouring through the floor-to-ceiling window. Turning to descend the last several steps, my grandfather’s milky eyes supervised the endeavor as he peered out from the family portrait at the bottom of the stairs. My attention moved to the small [...]

 My grandpa died yesterday afternoon – a nice, quiet, painless death at the age of 88. Now his body will go to Duke where they can collect what they need, then he’ll be transported back to Marion, NC where he can join his wives. I don’t usually do re-posts, but today it just seems appropriate. I wrote [...]  Poor Rocco just walked in on me watching a step by step video tutorial on creating the perfect vagina cupcake. I can hear him hiding the cupcake tins already. In other news, it’s my dad’s birthday today. So I have to show off this super adorable Polaroid I found of him while unpacking. Don’t worry, Mom has a [...]  So far my parents are failing miserably at the little “Grandkid Caretaker Trial Run” test we’ve given them with the cats. Well, that’s not entirely true. They were going gangbusters for a bit there – building toys, attempting to play chase despite arthritic knees, napping on the floor of the basement in the hopes that Lucy might [...]  It’s a tiny bit early, but I have to pause and wish a happy Father’s Day to the cutest dad in the history of the universe. And I’m not just saying that because Mom tells me he’s rigged some sort of fancy, home-made cat toy down in his wood shop involving paper balls and a [...] I Sprocketed this morning. Obviously I’m getting enough fiber, after all. No really, slide on over there to check out the most offensive political ad ever created in the history of all time. I left my girls down in Virginia with Mom and Dad. Their base camp is Dad’s wood shop. When I left, [...]  I’m the worst Jim Henson fan ever. I didn’t realize yesterday was the anniversary of his death. Then again, I always think it’s nicer to celebrate the anniversary of someone’s birth. Which, for Jim, is September 24th. But I saw this video this morning and there’s no way I’m going to remember to save it until [...] Seeing as how today is Veteran’s Day and both my parents are veterans themselves, I’m going to say thanks to them for their service by not making a single vagina joke in today’s post. Instead, I’ll just point you to this fascinating article on cricket testicles. The tuberous bushcricket’s testicles account for 14 percent of its body [...] I just spent twenty minutes ironing a shower curtain. I know what you’re thinking. “Surely, the end of the world is coming.” But never fear, Interwebz! It’s not that ominous. Though, to be honest there is something coming that has me all flustered and overwhelmed – my Germans. Well, not ALL my Germans are coming. Tripe won’t be [...] |
