Blargh

Thursday, July 17th, 2003

It’s official. I spent more time trying to get the baby to sleep (2.75 hours) than I did at the meetup (2.25 hours). Something has got to change. Has anyone ever dealt with a kid who has to be rocked to sleep? How do you get them to fall asleep in their [...]

Meetup

Wednesday, July 16th, 2003

I went to the Austin Blog Meetup tonight, for the second time. I keep meaning to go but life always seems to get in the way. I enjoyed the people and hated the space - our choices were: 1) get rained on, 2) listen to really loud music, or 3) listen to horrible [...]

Na NA na, nanana NA na

My daughter Jo has taken a real shine to Attack of the Clones. She calls it “The Flying Car Movie” and asks every day if it’s on. The baby calls it “A-Nah-Nah”, and here’s why. Jo gets the love theme stuck in her head and sings it constantly - na NA na, [...]

Exhausted

Wednesday, July 16th, 2003

Last night we couldn’t get the kids to sleep until after 1:00. Then I stayed up for a couple of hours more because I was working on getting the linux box set up to host 2 domain names, and what I don’t know about linux can fill about 84,000 books. So I fall [...]

Photoblog

Tuesday, July 15th, 2003

I set up my photoblog, called Clicking Away With My Sanity, today. If you like pictures, keep an eye on it and see if it strikes your fancy. I have a bunch more to post; it’s pretty sparse right now.

Mean, very mean. But funny!

This guy drove a van that backfired on command. Then he’d take pictures of people reacting. Not nice, sure, but pretty funny.

Pee your pants funny

From the fine people who brought you Napster BAD! comes “Sue All the World”. I giggled so hard my eyes leaked.

Kids

Sunday, July 13th, 2003

Last night Jo and I went grocery shopping.
“Mommy, which area is this?”
“This is the health food area.”
“Oh. So where’s the Oreo area?”
What a precocious little twerp.
I bought a Crenshaw melon, never having tried one before. It’s insanely tender and juicy. The knife slid through it like butter. Rivulets of sweet juice [...]

Test post of Kung-log…

On a lighter note

Saturday, July 12th, 2003

I ran across the “Imponderables” site a few days ago. I enjoyed the books, but haven’t had time to read through the site. I did notice a question - “Why do women tend to drop hints rather than ask questions or for favors directly?”.
Well, tell you what. My daugher is three years [...]
